    Anybody following this? Jelly Bean has some cool stuff: faster smoother UI, revamped search, voice search, awesome notification changes, much more..

    Plus the expected Nexus tablet announcement along with Nexus Q home media streamer. etc.

    Good stuff

    Most likely, but that'll be up to Samsung to announce. So far Google has said they'll roll out JB to Galaxy Nexus, Nexus S and Xoom in mid July

    No threat to iPad. This going after other Android Tablets, especially the kindle Fire.

    Love the Nexus Q. Looks amazing. Would like to know if it can stream local files from a PC/server to the TV

    They gave away a Nexus phone, Nexus 7 and Nexus Q to all the attendees. Sweet!

    The Nexus 7 should nuke the Kindle Fire. I'll probably get one.

    Lack of camera on the back kinda sucks but overall, it looks like a nice tablet.

    Jelly Bean looks nice with Project Butter. I'd like to try that out sometime.

    Nexus Q looks pretty amazing too.

    Oh and $1500 for Project Glass. lmao..

    My iPad is getting pretty stale to me. I don't know how I feel about dropping down to a 7" display but I'm definitely considering the 16 GB Nexus 7. I'll have to take one for a test drive as soon as they get released.

    Aren't you the guy who had a bad experience with an LG device? I never have any lag.

    Even on my Snapdragon S1 HTC Incredible running AOSP.

    What are some situations where you would use the back camera on a tablet?

    Tell me about it. Especially when you can pay $1500.00 next year for Google Glasses. Who needs a camera?

    Seriously though, I agree with you.

    Awesome experience you have buddy... You're coworkers have Android phones? I Co story bro.. There are hundreds and hundreds of android handsets and they all vary in hardware specs and versions of android with manufacturer skins. Come back to me when you play with ice cream sandwich on some of the newer devices.
