Mine is 2nd from the left.

Someone claims to have gotten a shipping email from Google.

Would the title of the email be "UPS Mychoice Delivery..." ? I guess you could keep checking the tracking number just for fun though.

Here's the info for that package
Shipped/Billed On:07/12/2012
Type:Package
Weight:1.70 lbs



I'm still skeptical. ;)
 
What is that pic from?


Its from the Verge. Picture of the stock at Adorama.

Google says it's "still on track" for a mid-July release of the Nexus 7 — the company told us it still isn't officially on sale — but the Asus-manufactured device is already starting to crop up at resellers. We got our hands on the Jelly Bean tablet at Adorama, which is conveniently located on 18th St. in Manhattan,
 
Looks like the N7 may have a magnetic turn it off mode with the proper case

Of course it's a bgr article so saltmine might be required. IIRC the old crackberries had something similer so they wouldn't turn on in the phone holster.

I asked because the Gamestop lady told me they were expressly forbidden from even taking photographs of the things. Can I declare this launch a CF at this point? We've got places that have it in stock that are not selling it. We've got reports that this is because of Google for some unknown reason. We've got other retailers who are selling it because either Google didn't tell them not to or they're just ignoring what Google told them. Through the whole thing Google says absolutely nothing. This whole thing is ridiculous.
