If they do release one, chances are it'll be a stripped down, 8gb model. Even so, though, that would be a damn steal. Ended up buying a 7" Tab2 to replace my old 16gb N7 I sold a while back. Have yet to play with it, but I've a feeling it wont be as nice to use.

I'm assuming it can be bought from the google play store when it's released.

Debating whether or not I should get it though...

So I'm trying to put some mp3 files on a nexus7 and for some reason when played back on the nexus some files play at a sped up rate so much so that it sounds like the chipmunks speaking quickly... they play normally on my computer and Symbian phone however the ones that have an issue on the nexus7 won't play at all on my friends android phone
Anyone have any ideas?

Weird. You're going to have to re-download the songs then (unless you have FLAC and can transcode them to MP3 again).

Mine wouldn't turn on now after it ran out of batteries for a couple days and I just left it there. Plugged it in for a night and next morning still no screen at all. Idk maybe when I left it in the bathroom while showering the steam created water damage?

If you're on 4.2. Try not to let your Nexus 7 drain to 0%. It'll bootloop if you do.

Luckily the fix is really easy. With the Nexus 7 off. Plug in the charger. Immediately afterwards press and hold Power and Vol Down. At the bootloader screen press Vol Down till you see the Shut down or Power Off or something option. Press the Power button and it'll turn off. Unplug and replug your charger. Done.

Apple products might be overpriced but I've never had one be DOA.

You get what you pay for kinda. At the same time its a good price though for a decent tablet honestly.

Agree never had an issue with any apple products. They just seem to work very decent out fo the box. Got a Nexus 4 last week and is taking some time to adjust the phone so it works the way I want to.

^Maybe just my bad luck? Google has agreed to give me a refund (almost a year after I purchased it, lol) ... so I think I'm going to buy the samsung chromebook and see how that works Damn nexus.
