Currently, if you buy a Nexus 7 from Google, you are treated to $25 of Google Play credit to spend as you please. Basically, you are paying less than $199 for the tablet, since you get a free $25 to drop on games, books, movies, etc. You better hurry if you want to get in on this promo though, as Google has pegged September 30 as the end date for it.

There is nothing better in the Android tablet game right now than the Nexus 7. Small, powerful and not expensive, Google really did a good job with this thing and if you are looking to pick one up today’s deal might be the right time for you to do so.
The deal today comes to us from eBay which offers a 16GB Nexus 7, an official ASUS case to go with it and free shipping to boot. Unfortunately these cases will most likely not have the magnetic sleep/wake function that the Nexus 7 makes use of, but it will at least keep your tablet safe. Since it is the 16GB version the price tag runs $249 which is still a very good deal if you want to get a Jelly Bean tablet in your hands.
Cheers Brandon!
For those looking to fully utilize that little front-facing camera on your Nexus 7, developers over at XDA released a flashable zip file to allow for 720p video recording. This is for users rooted and running a custom recovery. By editing a media_profiles.xml file, they have allowed for 480p and 720p HD recording. To install, once you download the zip file and place on the device’s storage, just boot into recovery and flash from there. (more…)
According to the folks at MoDaCo, they have an inside source that has let them in on Asus’ plan to make a Nexus 7 tablet with 3G capabilities. From what the rumor states, there was no say of 4G LTE quite yet. The only other piece of info given is that the tablet would be ready for launch in a matter of just six weeks. (more…)
The last Google Nexus 7 ad, the one with the father and son camping in their backyard, was nothing short of brilliant. The new spot that was released this morning, somehow manages to be equally as good. The focus is again on cute kids and their imaginations, but even more so with family, ease of use (1-handed for cooking lessons), video chatting (with grandma), and last but not least, Google Voice Search. Take that, annoying Apple Siri ads. (more…)
Google’s homepage is the start to millions of people’s adventures everyday. Any possible piece of information can usually be found just by typing a few words, but today, the most important piece of information is available right from the homepage.
When visiting Google.com, you will notice the phrase, “The playground is open” with the head of a Nexus 7 tablet just below it. Naturally, the linked text showing the price of $199 takes you right to the Play store for you to purchase a new tablet. That’s enough to spike anybody’s curiosity.
Good thinking, Google.
Check it out.
When Google finally started getting the Nexus 7 into customer’s hands, people realized that this was something special. Especially at such the low price point, the Nexus 7 was a hit and Google is planning to sell a lot more devices by the end of the year. These sales will be a bit easier now that the ASUS-made tablet is available in Spain, Germany and France.
If you are overseas, the prices will run you €199 and €249 which is a bit more costly than it is currently in America ($248 and $311). Even still, you are getting a lot of tablet for a pretty low price and you would be hard pressed to find anything better in the tablet market at the moment. Our only advice is to order soon before they run out of stock again.
