And soon enters the paradox of choice. Do I bring my smartphone, mini-tablet, tablet and/or my laptop in my bag? Wait, why did I buy all of these again?
Now I have to decide between the Nexus 4 and the Droid Razr Maxx HD :-/
As expected, very little support for other countries (specifically Canada where I am). Movie purchases, and HSPA, but no magazines or TV shows, no google music. Nexus 4 not available in Canada. [edit]Correction - magazines now available in Canada (Woohoo!) they just didn't say so. Now, can we please have google music?
Surprisingly Google Music "match" (similar to itunes and amazon) will first be available in Europe.

via Gizmodo: Quad-core 1.5 GHz Snapdragon S4 Pro processor, 2GB RAM, 8GB storage, 4.7-inch 1280 x 768 display, and an 8 megapixel rear-facing camera. Impressive indeed!
Why 1280x768 rather than 720p? Is it for the software buttons? Otherwise it'd be odd to scale a pretty standard size for videos etc. or have black bars on the side.
I'm pretty sure they'd written this beforehand and scheduled it to be posted but forgot all about it when they cancelled their event.

Yeah, these prices look almost too good to be true. Other Android vendors may be getting some serious indigestion from this.
Nexus 7 devices are being sold at a loss, so I suppose in one sense yes, the price there is too good to be true.
The screen for 10.1" model is great: 2560x1600 (300ppi) - iPad (3 and 4) are 2048x1536 (264ppi). Which means it has 30% more pixels (409600 vs. 3145728).
However, the screen is "PenTile" ( http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/PenTile_matrix_family ), which means that each pixel is only 2/3 of what we'd usually think of a pixel. And it really does look like crap, even at high densities (such as on the Galaxy Nexus). If you calculate out the number of subpixels (what actually shows colors on the screen, the important number), the 2048x1536 display on the iPad is still signifi…
Thank you Google, for making the Nexus 7 16gb 199$ 1 week after i bought mine .. I love this tablet, but the one thing i really wish is i had the 16gb version, but couldn't afford it at the time.

Go get a bigger tablet!
It won't be long before the usual suspects start claiming - screen resolution isn't important - multi-user accounts are overly complex - low prices mean the devices are cheap and nasty

Apple isn't in the business of exploiting your private data to advertise products/services/content from third parties at you though. The incentives are completely different.
Sure they are, they're just not as good at it as Google is. Apple has built Facebook and advertising into iOS. Besides their own advertising network, Apple made support for third party tracking using the IDFA (ID For Advertising, it was created after they decided using the UDID for ad tracking was not ideal).
That simplifies things in a very reductive way.
