We sometimes forget that there’s a whole world of users out there experiencing Android for the very first time. Not everyone is a die hard Android cultist, or tech junkie for that matter, and owning a Nexus 7 could very well be a daunting task for some. That’s why Google has made a quick “Getting Started” video to help first timers become acquainted with the Google Nexus 7 set-up process.
If you happen to be a father, like myself, then Google’s first Nexus 7 commercial will surely hit home. It’s a perfect blend of nature, technology, and the undying bond between a father and son. I, myself, do a lot of backyard camping with my kids, and while some people will argue this isn’t “real camping,” it’s more about the time I get to spend with my kids than it is about anything else. They have a blast and we use our Android devices to enhance the experience, not sabotage it.
The ability to take your movies/TV shows mobile and enjoy them on a screen larger than 4-inches is one of the advantages of owning a tablet. So naturally, if you just picked up a brand spanking new Nexus 7, that’s just what you’ll want to do. In a surprise move by XFINITY, they have already gone ahead and updated their XFINITY TV Player app with beta support for Android 4.1.
The Nexus 7 situation has admittedly been a frustrating one. While some people have already received their brand new Jelly Bean tablet, others are left wondering if or when theirs will arrive. Google has definitely been feeling the heat from upset customers and has issued an update for those of you who ordered your Nexus 7 on or before July 13. While this information won’t get the Nexus 7 in your hands any quicker, at least it can shed some light on when you can expect it to arrive.
The intrawebs have been buzzing all day with Nexus 7 news. Some retailers are selling them, then they’re not selling them; a few lucky people are picking up their GameStop pre-orders, while everyone who pre-ordered from the Google Play Store is internet rioting. That’s just a short preview of the Nexus 7 gossip spewed today, and it appears Google has had enough and has decided to speak up about Nexus 7 pre-orders.
