I have only had my first gen Nexus 7 for a month and am considering selling it (to my sister) so I can purchase the new one.
(of all the bad timing, news of the new one started the day after I unboxed mine)!
Just a few questions that may help me decide.
1 - has anyone tried the new nexus with the first gen official dock (that uses the contacts)
2 - same question for a Poetic Slimline Portfolio Case for Google Nexus 7
sorry not able to post links to the above components as my status in the forum is too new.
I ordered the above 2 components about the same day they started talking about the new nexus (bad timing for me)
it would likely be a deal breaker for me if I have to get rid of these before they even showed up at my door!
Thanks for any helpful info

I dont know about those accessories but I would assume your sister would buy them for her Nexus. If you are getting enough for it that you feel like the upgrade is worth it, then go ahead! You won't be disappointed, this thing destroys it's predecessor!
still considering.....

The new Nexus 7 does not have the 4 pogo pins, so I don't think your accessories would work. Also the form factor is different, so I don't think the case will fit.
thanks

that too bad, the dock was a nice feature with version 1 of the nexus 7. Of course more of a head scratcher with me is "no micro-sd slot" even my wifes cheap ass Asus MeMo has a micro-sd slot.

Google does not put SD slots on any device. To be honest SD card slots are going the way of the Floppy Drive. Sure it's mildly annoying.. AT FIRST... but after having devices without them for well over a year now, I don't miss them at all. You adapt. Trust me.

I made sure my present nexus was the 32 gig version. I think that in the States you can do without the sd slot better because you have access to streaming services such as Spotify, unfortunately most of those services aren't available to us Canucks so we have to keep our music on our devices. I have found that 32 gigs is LOTS of storage for my tunes.

I know Dead Zebra also sells them...but they're out of stock...so....lol
http://shop.deadzebra.com/products/Android-Mini-Series-02.html
Nice find on these!! I bought some on ebay a while ago. I paid almost $20 each for them, I could have practically bought the set instead of three for the same price....
Excuse me if this sounds rude or anything but the dealextreme ones look fake. From what I read, the ANDROID words are suppose to be in the back and are more indented. I've been trying to get the 1st series, but there's just so many fakes out there now. . . ..
OH yeah, the site from deadzebra is the official one, they are the ones that partner up with google to make it. They have a post to show how to spot a fake. I can't link it because I'm a noob though.

I bought one from this site on the 14th of March, and it came on March 31st.
1st series, and looks legit. "android" on the back and all.
But...I'm not super familiar with what is legit and what's a knockoff. Not that I care either. It's pretty cool regardless.
hi. this is my first post. since gnex does/going to support usb host,does any case manufacturer makes a case with microsd card slot.if not is it possible to do it or am i just dreaming? thanks

Shut up and take my money! If only that case existed, it would make me buy a Galaxy Nexus right now. 16gb doesnt hold enough music
The same idea for Nexus4

It's a great idea for all the nexus devices and especially the brand new Nexus4:
Simple
Cheap
useful (protective case + expendable memory).
It should also provide a mecanism to offer a microUSB port left for letting us charge the phone even if it is plugged to the case.
Any news?!

Find out a small company doing such a thing for the iphone but seems too massive (coz of the expendable battery on it).
Link
Should be ok for a Nexus device with only expandable memory. The sucess for that hypothetic product would be undeniable regarding ppl anger about the lack of sd slot on those devices.
Hey guys!
I was desperately looking for a nice small flash drive for Android and iOS but I didn't find the right solution. Just the bulky ones.
So I decided to develop my own product with help of an engineering company. But before starting further development I want to know if you would get such a micro usb flash drive.
Check out the website with alpha design: www.matcha-t.com/
How many of you would be interested on getting one of these?
Thanks!

So it's like Sandisk Cruzer Fit flash drive with two shorted pins to turn it into OTG flash drive? Sounds cool, but the question is if you can plug it into a regular PC/Mac usb port to copy files to/from? Another food for thought, keep in mind for your design that a lot of people use bulky phone/tablet cases to protect their devices, and you need to take this into account so it works with cases. Btw, here is what I use for my OTG storage drive needs, mostly to watch movies loaded on Cruzer Fit drive: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2107985

Hey Jar, give the guy a break. Kind of a harsh reply, don't you think? I mean, some of us might not have a need for such product, but we can't speak for everybody, right? He is just trying to get some feedback, maybe even trying to figure out if he should take his idea to KS or IGG.

...thereby having an extra battery to charge and reducing the duration of the other. Same issue with smart watches
I have the feeling this will be less necessary, now that 128 GB microSD cards have actually come out.

I'm a Nexus user myself, I was thinking with the MeeGo device lol. Didn't mean to sound rude there.
thanks but that site not working....
Although for the Chinese market, I would love to get my hands on one here in NYC to see how it turned out compared to their Winblows based devices.
I got it ... Its nice in look ... But I just found that the headset is not working ... I just tried to use iPhone headset but doesn't !
i got one.
@ran816 the headset is working after an update (a couple of updates ago)
Does anyone know where to import one from? I really want one but I don't want to pay $450 off ebay for one.

I agree...I'd like to get one as well but buying it on eBay would be a ripoff. Anyone have any good info on how to get one in the US for closer to cost?

Yeah, I tried asking all of the sellers if they would accept any offers but they all said no. I'm willing to pay 300+ shipping which is reasonable considering that's a 20% profit for them give or take. I just can't justify that much of a markup for something without a good reason. It should he released in Spain/UK soon anyway.
I had a Nexus 9 but I wasn't a big fan. I liked my Nexus 7 2013 more than the 9 by far. I used to also have a LG GPad 8.3 and I loved it until I broke it. I'm hoping this will be a good tablet to fill the Gpads slot now that I'm tablet less (unless my Nexus 6 is a tablet )

Where do they ship from? Are they a reputable vendor? I realize other members have bought one from them but I'd rather be on the safe side
I bought a Nokia N1 about a week ago from China. Already got 4 system updates. Out of the box was 5.0.2. Latest build number is A5CN410.
The build quality is unbelievable for the price range. Not to mention the screen. Only one issue, no Google Play Services, yet.
I bought the nokia n1 on this site: smartophone.com
it works very well, but still not google apps !
Nokia N1 ,Chinese Edition.
I've got one ,but it sucks by now,'cause it ships without google service,a lot of apps works incorrectly on it .
I bought mine on Amazon...Google Play Store right out of the box. Be sure you get the Taiwan version!
Loving it so far!
i'm going to go to the smartphone market to buy a nexus 5x. First, is it an upgrade on M9?. The deal I'm getting is my M9 plus 70$ for a brand new n5x 16 gigs. Is it a good deal?
What to look out for in the phone? I'll unbox the device in front of him and may ask for another box packed phone in case there is a fault with the device. What should I check?

Great phone. But 16gigs is not a lot of space. No sd card expansion.
16 GB can get you by only if you are very minimal on your apps and picture/video taking. Even so, that's pushing it. Google Photos "free up device storage" option does help if you do take a decent amount of pictures/videos.

Make sure they have properly signed out of their Google account prior to selling. The 5X has Factory Reset Protection and will require the last Google account and password if they did not sign out prior to the factory reset.
