Not exactly sure what this 8MB update to the 2013 Nexus 7 has changed except for the Build number to JSS15R.

I checked my Nexus 7 2013 the moment I heard of the news, and, it was there and ready to install. I’ve given the Nexus 7 a good looking around and haven’t found any changes as of yet except for the Build number change to JSS15R.

If any of you folks here or over at the forums should get some news on the update please let us know there or here. Also worth noting that there is no changelog for the update as of yet.

Russell Holly of Geek.com is reporting that Asus most likely will be making the next generation Nexus 10.  Holly has been spot on in the past, so I’m putting my money on Asus for the next Nexus 10.

Asus and Google seem to have a good relationship with each other when it comes to producing low priced – high end Android tablets. The 2013 Nexus 7 being no exception, being the best mid sized Android tablet available!  Not just for the price either..  In my opinion it’s the best Android tablet available period.
Samsung was the rumored manufacturer for the next generation Nexus 10, but Asus has proven to put out excellent hardware for an even better price, and I’m sure Google is well aware of this.

Companies like Asus and Samsung get in a bidding war and produce designs for Google to chose from, which in the end is carrier and OEM software free. This is what us Nexus fans love most about pure Google devices. That, and development is always off the hook.

That’s what what we have for now folks!  It’s looking like it will be an Asus Nexus 10 holiday season for us Android geeks.

Holding the New Nexus 7 in portrait and landscape

Bezels in portrait can be a little thin at times

So you got the New Nexus 7 or have one coming any day now?  Let me fill you in on my thoughts of the new shape factor with the 2013 Nexus 7.

Google claims the 2013 Nexus 7 has the best display of any tablet available.  That’s hard to argue with, with a 7.02 inch, 1920×1200, 1080p HD IPS display at 323 ppi.  Watching movies, reading text and playing games is an absolute dream on the New Nexus 7.  The viewing angles are mind blowing, the colors aren’t over saturated and the blacks are impressive, even if not AMOLED-like.  For any hard core Android geek or anyone looking to get their feet wet in the tablet world, the New Nexus 7 is with out a doubt the best bang for your buck at $229 for the 16g model.

Now let’s talk about holding this beauty

Last year when I got my 2012 Nexus 7 I was in Android geek heaven.  Out of the box it was running Android version 4.1, it was a 7 inch Nexus device, it was blazing fast (we all know how the blazing fast story turns out, hopefully 4.3 TRIM support will help this over time) and it was the 7 inch tablet I’d been always waiting for.  Except for the bezels.  After holding and playing with an iPad mini, I was wishing the 2012 Nexus 7 had thinner bezels all around.  Be-careful what you wish for.

Fast forward a year to me getting my paws on the 2013 Nexus 7.  The very first thing I noticed upon firing it up was the absolutely mind blowing display, thinner bezels side to side and still gigantic bezels top and bottom.  The 16:10 aspect ratio made the 2013 Nexus 7 look like the 2012 Nexus 7 had gone through a growth spurt but shedded a few pounds on the sides. This is where I have problems holding the tablet at times.  If you notice in the above video, occasionally holding it in portrait mode by the bezel, your thumb can accidentally interact with the screen.  For example, from time to time holding the Nexus 7 in portrait your thumb can long press a home screen and pull up the wallpaper changer or browsing the web, that same pesky thumb can trigger a tab or link that may be on the very sides of the site.  This by no means takes anything away from the New Nexus 7, but merely an observation.  It could be that I’ve been using the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 and the 2012 Nexus 7 for the past few months and am used to having the big bezels all around.

Don’t let this observation deter you from getting the New Nexus 7.  If you have bigger hands like myself, you may have to palm the tablet or switch to landscape when doing certain tasks.  If you have smaller hands the side bezels shouldn’t be an issue at all.  I for one am absolutely thrilled with the New Nexus 7 and will just have to learn to hold it differently at times.

Hope on over to Cell Trader Online to buy the Nexus 7 or devices just like it.

New press release leaked pics of possibly the default Android Version 4.3 wallpaper

Just a day after prolific leak finder @evleaks posted images of the New Nexus 7′s press release pics, we now have what seems to be the default wallpaper being shipped on the New Nexus 7.  Nothing special, but I’m betting its going to look crisp and sharp on that 1900×1200 display.

The 16GB Wi-Fi variant of the new SlimPort-enabled 1.5GHz quad-core Nexus 7 with a 1920×1200 display is expected to retail for $229 while the 32GB one will sell for $269. Munchy also noted in a previous article he believes he see’s a slim card slot, and one thing about Munchy….   This man has his finger on the pulse of Android anything.

A leaked Best Buy advertisement shows that Best Buy will start selling the new Nexus 7 starting July 30th, that’s a full day before Staples. The leaked advertisement also mentions that the new nexus 7 will have a screen resolution of 1920×1200. The pricing will be $229.99 for the 16GB version. Let’s hope we do not have a line at BestBuy’s across the country on July 30th for the new Nexus 7.
