Sounds pretty good, even got the latest OS, which makes a change. Screen resolution is better than most 1000 quid laptops!

Tempted, very tempted.

This must be the biggest phablet yet at 7", equal to that of the smaller tablets. Shame it doesn't have 2GB of RAM, I feel 1GB is a bit small for 2013.

Jelly Bean could mean either Android 4.1 or 4.2. Only the second one is the latest. :)

At least it has decent capacity battery, back & front cameras and a micro sd slot.. lack of the latter two put me off the Nexus 7...

Wonder if it will have good headset compatibility for those who want to use that instead of built in mics

Pretty cool announcement. Only recently bought a Nexus 7 though... oh well it does everything i need it to and more so i can't really complain.
