New Nexus 7 user

[BustedSatellite]

Greetings all,

I am a new member of the forum and would like to introduce myself.

I work as a developer on the PC platform in a corporate IT department, but I enjoy using computers and computing devices as a hobby with my spare time.

I just purchased a Nexus 7 (16gb) yesterday and am a bit of an Android newbie. I'm getting in the swing of using it and enjoying it so far. Hopefully, the info I pick up in the forum will help keep the learning curve relatively short.

Although I have an ipad, it's a bit large and heavy to conveniently carry around with me. A 7" tablet seemed to be a good compromise between the ipad and my phone, whose screen is too small for the media I wish to consume. From my research, the Nexus 7 was a good fit for me. I also plan to "audition" the Android platform as a possible choice for my next phone.

So far, I like the level of customization available on the home screens and the availability of alternate keyboards. Already this is a far cry from what is available in IOS. I'm looking forward to having a lot of fun with this device

Welcome to AC!!

I work in IT too.

Yea, you will be fine and pick up everything fast, I'm sure.

Well, now that you have an Android device, I'm sure you'll have an Android phone before you know it. You'll love the freedom of Android, and, how much you can customize (sounds like you already are). If you want more customization, look into launchers.
