There's a Staples at Lougheed Mall? Is it new? Or do you mean Lougheed Hwy near Madison Centre/Gilmore?

Sorry I meant on lougheed hwy where the Sushi Garden was. I was actually there hunting for another posted deal on RFD for 500gb drive but didn't see the Nexus 7 on display.

The Seagate HDD? Yeah, don't bother. No stores locally have any, unless you're willing to drive out to Westbank or Kelowna.

...well I hope google will at least refund the $20 shipping fee that they charged me when they finally decide to ship these out, don't want to deal with the hassle of cancelling...

customer service fail.

So now that the Nexus 7 is out...I'm wondering should I go with the 7 or pick up a 64gb Playbook for the same price?

Unless you really need the drive space to load movies on it to play it via HDMI to the TV I don't ANY reason to get the Playbook anymore. It's pretty much dead now......Nexus 7 will just eat it alive.

I bought the Playbook TWICE, just because I wanted to give it another chance after OS 2.0 update but still left disappointed.

This tablet...haha I love it

hoping theres a nexus 10

nvm

I picked one up from the staples on grandview hwy earlier today. Still havent had a chance to play with it yet though :(

The Playbook's release was premature, and not thought out. I do, however, love the QNX UI. Going back to IOS or Android seems like a step back, in terms of OS fluidity.

how are you guys spending your $25
I thought about Chameleon as I was very intrigued by the format, but I dont know... reviewers seem to rave it on those 10in screens

My pre order from the google play store hasnt shipped yet, i havent even seen a charge on my cc. And you guys already have them? Thats disappointing.

so it starts
Google Asus Nexus 7 16GB Tablet

LOL idiots. I have two at home lol
I rooted mine pretty much within 5min of opening it up.

Visions and NCIX have them in stock apparently as well lol.

Anyone know of any nice cases that aren't fake leather leather? Something like the official google/asus one since they don't seem to have an ETA

London Drugs' have them too

they've supposedly got 230 units spread across all their stores

I can confirm that. Some stores will get them Sunday, others should be Monday or Tuesday. ;-)

And yes 230 units in the first batch.

i never used a tablet before, will i be able to stream movies,songs etc from my computer on this?
or do i have to upload the movie to cloud storage or something first?

Future shop metro town has 9. Friend picked one up just now.

Is there anything already announced that will be released soon that is a quad core 7 inch tablet like the Nexus 7, except it will include a MicroSD slot?

I think I heard Acer has one soon? Haven't heard anything from any others though.

I'm really debating hard about a 7 inch tablet, and storage space for videos is extremely important after using 10 inch tablets with bigger storage (Transformer Prime).

Buy otg cable and you can use flashdrives and such on this tab.

OTG is not supported unless someone hacked it in.

Edit. Looks like they have some workaround using an app called Stickmount.

Root + install Stickmount and it works

Does anyone know where I can find an USB-OTG cable locally? I'm leaving on vacay on Wed so no time to order online

arent all usb cables otg.... it just depends on the device if its able to or not
