London Drugs Gastown. Had a shipment in yesterday. 8 GB and 16 GB. Go get em!

^If you need one my coworker is selling one at cost, same situation as me with the whole preorder fiasco and ended up buying it from staples instead. Let me know.

Also going to pick up my DODOcase tomorrow and will post pictures once I get it!

No... Must be mistaken. I don't have a SKU for 8gb at work... And I'm at London Drugs too! :-P

No display units, we are having enough trouble keeping them in stock - I will usually show customers my personal unit if I'm working them.

I have the iPad 2 and thinking about selling it and grabbing the Nexus 7.

Thoughts?

Less of a battery drain if I use bluetooth.

Setup sequence:
On iphone ensure you have hotspot turned on, and bluetooth enabled. Then goto your iphone bluetooth and make your handset discoverable.

From your nexus 7 goto settings / bluetooth / touch your iphones name to initiate pairing. Then on your iphone accept the pairing and finally from the nexus accept the pairing.

Now with wifi off on your nexus 7 touch your paired devices name and it wil connect to your iphone. On your phone you'll see the bluebar at the top telling you the is one connection to your iphone.

If you do anything on the iphone such a restore or backup you will likely knock your bluetooth connected nexus 7 off. But other than that it seems like a pretty stable connection.

The adhesive is actually really really strong. You need to put in a lot of effort to take it off. It definitely won't come off while using it regularly.

just wondering if anyone has bought a stylus to use their nexus7 to write notes. The cheap stylus i got on amazon sucks. I'm mainly using it to draw/ take notes, so i need a really decent one for a low price ! Thanks

Who wants a nice quality leather case?
It's the Blurex Ultra Slim case.

Pending sale for tomorrow!

Does the case feel awkward when you're holding it? The N7 feels very comfortable when it's naked.
