Just wait. All the good stuff is right around the corner. You waited this long so another few weeks won't hurt!
As far as I know for the nexus 7 it added landscape support on the home screen. For both GN and N7 it fixed an issue with connecting to 802.1x wi-fi networks with PEAP authentication. Nothing TOO major but that wi-fi fix is huge for those that connect to wifi at work such as myself . There are more things but those are the top two off the top of my head..
Not sure yet. My motorola xoom got this update on 10/16/12 OTA. I'm thinking its just bug fixes. Btw....freaking love how Google is supporting the xoom. So quick. In line with the nexus.
I think the LG Nexus will be a great phone. I also think that there will be likely other Nexus phones. Personally, I'm waiting for that GORGEOUS HTC J Butterfly to hit the US, then I'll decide between it and the Asus Padfone 2. The Padfone 2 is an awesome proposition: $1000 for a phone + full 10" tablet, gorgeous display, quad core, all the GSM bands including T-Mobile AWS, AND LTE. Unless the HTC J blows me away the Padfone 2 is it for me.
Just wondering, but I thought the HTC J Butterfly wasn't going to hit the U.S. Market. I don't remember where I read/heard it, but it was something about the phone staying only in the Japan Market. The Padfone 2 is pretty damn awesome. Saw the video preview the other day, looks really good, that display is really awesome and combining it with that tablet, can't get much better than that.
I love the concept of the pad phone but in my experience having two separate devices can sometimes be pretty awesome. Playing on phone while watching ESPN or netflix . It's probably just me though. I have such a need for multitasking.
if i were to commit to an android phone..which phone currently has the best build quality? I am actually hoping to get a Nokia Lumia but if that doesn't work out, I don't mind trying android again. The S3 just feels so cheap...not saying it is. just feels cheap.
I'd say the EVO 4g LTE from Sprint, but that's because I have one. But then, you have to deal with Sprint.
http://www.theverge.com/2012/10/21/3533548/google-samsung-nexus-10-android-4-2-rumor Looks like there might be a new Nexus Tablet coming out, and also possibly a 3G Nexus 7 along with the new Nexus phone. All set to be announced next Monday...
Except the Evo is a one-piece aluminum body. It also has a micro Sd slot, a kickstand, and a dedicated shutter button. /phonesnob
Leaked pics of the Nexus 10 Tablet. Spoiler Specs: Samsung Exynos 5250 Clocked at 1.7 GHz Dual-core Cortex-A15 Mali-T604 GPU 2GB RAM 16GB internal storage (other options possible) 10.1-inch Super AMOLED display 2560 x 1600 pixel resolution 298.9 pixels-per-inch 5-megapixel rear-facing camera LED flash Front-facing camera NFC WiFi Bluetooth 4.0 Dual speakers located on front of device The Exynos 5 dual-core processor is supposedly better than all of the quad-core processors out there today. I don't like the design too much but that resolution is definitely better than the iPad going by those specs.
I'm guessing this will cost between $349-$399, which is still more than I'm willing to pay for a tablet. My wife loves her Nexus 7. If we get a second tablet, it will probably be another Nexus 7. From my standpoint, Apple missed the boat on price with the iPad "mini" and I will probably never buy a tablet from them.
Good question. I know Samsung has already made a non-pentile 1280x720 super amoled screen(Galaxy note 2) but at that high of a resolution I doubt it is non pentile.
