No micro sd card support? They don't have to try and emulate Apple on everything...
Not so psyched to see that it's still got a 16:10 screen. One of the things I love about my iPad mini is that it's actually usable in portrait mode for reading PDFs and Word documents on the go. That said, I'm hoping the increased screen resolution will make it practical to just zoom out a bit more and just hold the device closer to my face... Also really happy to see the LTE. I think having LTE on the go is crucial,…
Pretty 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.
Well, boring as in extremely high specs for a very low price. I don't really need more distinguishment than that.
Still, this is a better showing of "cheap but good" than the original N7...I'm rather disappointed in mine and it's been relegated to being the Jukebox in my house

It's using last year's SoC, basically a two year old GPU and it still has a paltry amount of RAM (They count all the RAM, including CPU and GPU buffers).

So they're going to keep the number at 7 to continue the Blade Runner reference? So it's really the 2013 Nexus 7.
Nexus 4 - 4.7" phone
Nexus 7 - 7" tablet
Nexus 10 - 10.1" tablet
The Nexus 7 is a joy to use. It's light, the screen is great - it's quick (I got my daughter a Kindle Fire and sometimes you can see that device straining a bit: eg. load times on Despicable Me (I know! I know!) The Nexus 7 battery is great and I love getting the very latest Android s/w pushed to the device. It's a great device for consuming media: books, audio, video. Stock Android is a nice reference platform. Can't wait for Jelly Bean 4.3 real soon now. I would recommend a Nexus 7 to anyone considering a tablet on a budget. I just have to figure out how I can justify splashing out on the 2013 Nexus 7 :) I know I must sound like a total shill but I really was surprised at how far Android has come and how polished and optimized it is on the Nexus 7.
That is all :)

I don't think the ratio would impact that too much. If anything it's the 7" vs 10" size that would hurt your ability to read PDF's and such.
