definitely looks like a sweet device, but i will have to pass. i was holding out for the next nexus tablet, but several things are against this one.

price. i cannot afford 500 bucks.

size. 8.9 inches is .9 inches too big for me. 8 is the sweet spot imo.

no qi charging. my next tablet will support it.

so, i guess i'll just sit on my nexus 7 2012. or hope that google announces something else next week.

sort of bummed about this.

I mean 399 for the 16GB isn't terrible. I was hoping it was actually going to be 100 dollars cheaper though, as I expected the pricing to be comparable to that of the Nexus 7

My Nexus 7 2012 has some physical damage and has been kinda limping along for months. I've been hoping to replace it with a new Nexus no bigger than 8" and for around $300. But I'm with boathead on this. It's is a little too big, a little too pricey, and if it lacks wireless charging that is strike 3.

Looks like I'll be picking up a Nexus 7 2013 on sale. Sometimes the latest is not the greatest.

I'm bummed that the rumors indicate that the LTE version of this could push $600 dollars. If I wanted to spend that much, I'd buy the padfone instead.

Yeah I saw that too and wondered what Google was thinking

Usually they're so nice with their pricing...I mean I like how they moved to HTC, but I think that maybe it's a little overpriced, just go back to ASUS.

Just ordered a factory refurbished Nexus 7 2013 16GB for $150. To heck with a Volantis or whatever. The N7 suits my needs better and for a lot less.

Dose look interesting. Hoping it will have the next Android and this is early info. Hoping for wireless charging with a tablet too.
I have a duel pad charger so will accommodate a tablet easy. We shall see.
