Waited months to buy one of these only to find out that they want to rip us off. They have anoyed me to the point I am migrating my Email to zoho.com and am doing 99% of my searches on duckduckgo. I have a HTC android phone and have to maintain a google account for that, however I will be taking a good look at a Windows phone, if they ever get it running properly, or wait for a phone running on Tizen. good bye google.

I love the device but for eBook reading (as a left hander) it is not pefect, the buttons are around the back which makes them a tad hard to reach and use for turning pages.
The bonus credit is also cool for apps where a specific tabled version needs to be purchased

". . . but its build quality compares to rival and in most cases, inferior, tablets that retail for well over $500." There is ample evidence arising of exactly the opposite. On the first day of its release, blog sites began to fill with comments about the poor quality of the screen builds and associated problems. In short, you get what you pay for. Buy cheap, get cheap.

I have been using 10 inch TPT, and I really found 10inch is too big for playing. I would definitely buy this one if someone would take my TPT, and HTC don't have a new flyer.

Nice product but more feature is available in 2nd generation nexus...
At the end very nice tablet

I was going to buy this,the 16gb one as have never had tablet and semed like a good entry. Stopped though when I had to pay $20etc postage which takes it upto $320 which suddenly felt too much so cancelled.

Love the look of it - but like many others, will not buy because of the lack memory expansion.

I was all set to buy this as I heard it was based on the Asus MeMO 370T shown at CES last year, but lack of a memory card slot kills the deal for me. Looks like Google took a page from Amazon unwisely. Sure hope Asus still releases the 370T.

Anyone else think these videos are a straight rip-off of Apple's guff?

I will definitely buy the Google Nexus table if the price starts at $199. I use Acer a500 tablet at work, but it is too big and heavy. With that good price, Google Nexus table is a sweet deal to people like me who can't afford an iPad.

This device should contain a warning "put down softly"! I watched my son drop the device ever so softly from a low height whilst in a leather protective case only to see the screen shatter in the top left corner. Certainly no Gorilla glass used here. The device is so sensitive, I guess that is what you get for a cheap product made by Asus - don't be fooled by the google name! I tried calling google to ask about repair only to be passed onto Asus who then made it extremely difficult to speak to anyone. Once I finally got through to a representative I was summarily told that a shattered screen is not under warranty - what a surprise. The repair cost is about the same as buying the device plus postage which I must pay because they have no store front. A shocking experience all round. I buy the product and get charged $20 postage to send in metropolitan Melbourne, the device shatters with the greatest of ease, it is hard to find how it might be repaired, then it is totally uneconomic to repair and you have to pay for postage! Wow. Stick with Apple, the products and service are a long term investment rather than a short term cost like this Asus google product. Hope this helps someone else avoid a problem.
