'Wi-Fi models available in the U.S. July 30, LTE edition and global models “in the coming weeks”' Wi-Fi should be included with every model IMHO.
I assumed they meant "WiFi only models"

#12Pretty boring spec increase. If they were an OEM they'd have to try to distinguish themselves, but it isn't life or death for them, so I suppose a boring entry is par for the course.
They aren't even keeping pace with Samsung's IR camera gesture support or HTC's all metal body and TV remote capability we're seeing on phones.

#13GPU review (Adreno 320, in the Snapdragon S4 Pro) http://www.anandtech.com/show/6112/qualcomms-quadcore-snapdr...
Less powerful than GPU in iPad 3 (or iPad 2 in some benchmarks); but of course, it's got a smaller display too.

#14So they're going to keep the number at 7 to continue the Blade Runner reference? So it's really the 2013 Nexus 7.

Well, boring as in extremely high specs for a very low price. I don't really need more distinguishment than that.

#16Out of curiosity, how do those krait cores compare to the exynos a15 based cores that samsung is shipping in volume? I've been very impressed with their performance on chromeos as compared to older ip. With xen now building with a15 hvm support it would seem to make it easier to make use of that 2g of ram. It's hard to believe that android is really going to do much with that aside from the browser.

It is.

Generally--somewhat slower but uses less power.

It's a 7" tablet, that's why 7. But it does look like they are doing what Apple does, not giving the models different marketing names...

The A15 is quite a bit more powerful, even with lower clock speed. Cortex A15 supports hardware virtualization. I'm not sure if Krait supports it yet.
