Read more.Google surprised by demand for the £199 version.
Mine (16GB) is great. Tesco still have 16GB in stock (£179 if you dig out the voucher code floating around).
My 16GB Nexus7 is damn near perfect!
This device will be on a lot of Christmas lists!!!
I've just back ordered one of these, hopefully I won't have to wait too long!

Dear Google - I'm terribly sorry that you are surprised that we want more space on the device. However, this reflects a certain arrogance and lack of flexibility on your part. These devices make great in-car/in-boat/in-plane entertainment platforms. You can have your music, videos and even GPS map applications. copilot/Navigon for Europe takes approximately 3GB of space. One average 40 minute TV show can take from 300MB to 750MB (if we're avoiding full HD, but even that's 1.1GB for iplayer). Admittedly you can get quite a few hours of music per GB....so not only are storage demands very high, and 8GB is nowhere near enough, but we are likely to require the content when a reliable internet signal does not exist. Moving at 70Mph in a car means you skip towers too quickly. Boats can barely get 2G when a little bit off the coast, and in the air?? Not reliably or fast enough. My home internet courtesy of BT operates at most at 2mbps in central London. O2 charge too much for tether. Pray tell me Google why I should rely on a slow cloud in a country like the UK? Or Greece on holiday? When above all you had the sheer arrogance to not spec in a SD-card! Even 16GB is not enough without a SD-card - oh wait, but you DO WANT me to upgrade within a year when 16GB not enough? ahaa!! gotcha! Those with 8GB would upgrade within 6months....those with 16GB will be able to resist the Nexus 7.1 for a bit longer....
With all best wishes for the light of reality to strike you Google,

It would really help if they pushed their music and video services a bit more, I'm using Google Music atm and it's nice though there are adverts for albums which I expected. Whenever I click on an advert it takes me to the UK play store and says that this service isn't available in the UK yet, well damnit make it available! I wanna buy your stuff and am being prevented for little other than a possible legal problem!
Probably because the £159 version is £169 with postage and the £199 can be had from between £179 and £189 with vouchers/cashback/craftiness.Originally Posted by HEXUS
Also I suspect the 16GB will have a better resale value.
In summary: £199>£159 but £179≈£169 and 16GB>>8GB.
Someone on HUKD bought it off Tesco for £116 after using their Clubcard vouchers! Soemthing about vouchers are three times ...
yeah just picked up one plus a cable for hdmi out too. I don't think the missus will need it but if we ever do need a movie in a hotel room type thing i guess i can see the use, and it'd be nice to be able to copy files from a stick natively.
Note sure why google is being 'arrogant' - this tablet is bloody cheap and if your only gripe is a missing sd slot then i think you've done well
If it doesn't suit you then there's an easy answer - don't buy it.. The "light of reality" is that they're sold out![]()
