This meeting of the latest software and hardware state-of-the-art and is a literal nexus of digital life. Nexus 7 Google's latest Nexus device experience and the first tablet to feature Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. It
combines the best of both Google and ASUS design, with the most
advanced software from Google paired with cutting edge ASUS hardware.
32 GB version was released on October 29, 2012. Version 8 GB and 16 GB version is stopped down $ 50 in price. 3G cellular version went on sale on November 13, 2012 only on T-Mobile and AT & T network for $ 300 which is great.

Some important things to know about the 32 GB version:
Flash memory works much faster the more you get to the plateau about 480 Gbs. Benchmark on 32 GB Nexus 7 showed a slight improvement in speed in most activities. That is, despite having the same part of the brethren smaller size, the 32 GB will see a few seconds shaved off in terms of performance. Nexus 7 8/16 version is plenty fast already.
Asus should still many defects that plagued the initial release of the separation of the display, light bleeding, poor audio jack, etc. Sometimes it pays to wait for the technology.
Not all 32 GB free for users. Based on previous models, you should have about 28-29 GB of free space available.
Let's address some of the perceived shortcomings and some real shortcomings of the Nexus 7.
1) Storage. 8/16/32GB (three flavors Nexus 7 in) can be very fast real fast in this day and age of HD movies. I took my 16gb iPad on a trip and I maxed out to the movies very quickly, even after I shrink them to the most tolerable quality. Nexus 7 does deserve some criticism for the Micro-SD slot there and I would not buy it for that sole reason. However, like all good Android Tablet, there is a solution.
This is called USB On The Go. You take the USB OTG cable (such as $ 1 here or on eBay), connect to your Nexus 7, download Nexus Media Importer app (currently $ 3 on Google Play) and then connect the hard drive or any flash drive you want. My biggest external media sizes can connect to (and have access too) is a 3TB Western Digital. So much for the 8/16/32 gig limit!
The
only problem I encountered with large drives is that the Media Importer
app (which allows the media stream and one way to cope with the Nexus
7) is that it crashes when you try to stream media from a folder
containing a large number of files, as 3,000 MP3. Oh yeah. And it requires absolutely ZERO rooting. Take your Nexus out of the box. Download Nexus Media Importer app. Buy cable. Put your thumb drive. You're good to go.

If you are cheap, you can do much the same thing through Stickmount and file manager (Stickmount require
rooting). But Nexus Media Importer only made ridiculously easy. Also keep in mind that other applications move applications to the SD card in another tablet will not work with this. Apps like App 2 SD does not do anything. I'm trying.
Do not forget that OTG also lets you install and use the keyboard (wired and wireless via dongle) and mice without rooting. Mice produce cursor when plugged in. Also be aware that the OTG can charge your device from the Nexus 7.
For you gamers, PS / 3 controller works well. Not at all games, but games like Dead Trigger they will work as they did on the PS / 3. Like to see that on the Kindle Fire or iPad.
Talking
about the problem: Games and utilities such as Sixaxis controller and
Stickmount (among other applications) require rooting and installing ROM
(not sure why you would do that though purer Android). For those who are not sure what rooting, rooting grants the user access to the very bottom of the device command line access. Be aware it voids your warranty, risk turn your device into a very expensive paper and prevent auto update over the air update.
2) Display. Yes, it's not the iPad 3 or 4 or Nook HD (which by the way is a beautiful noble). It's also less than half the price of the new iPad. Text is crisp and clean and the colors were mostly well done. IPad does not take well done, but save yourself a lot of money well done. It is quite responsive, the iPad is not responsive enough, but better than many other tablets out there. I have no complaints about it. I honestly do not think anyone would notice the difference between the two in sharpness and text, but it does well in display colors. That said, the Asus Nexus 7 32GB has a better screen then the iPad Mini. Go to your local Apple store, and then look at 4s iPad Mini. Prepare to be shocked. It was visible.
3) The camera is pretty awful. The front facing 1.2 megapixel camera is nothing to get excited about. And no rear camera. I honestly do not understand why it's only a big deal. You look like a tool using the rear camera. Anyone not. Even Olivia Wilde (13 on a total possible score of 10 fans home!) It will look like a douche using tablet camera back to take video / pictures. Most likely you have a smartphone with a decent camera. Use it. There are surprisingly though, there is a camera application to be sent to the Nexus 7. But there is Nexus 7 free camera app launcher. One cool thing about the camera is that it allows the Face Unlock which take a picture of your face and use it as a mechanism for unlocking your tablet.
4) There is no cellular connection. Fair enough, but has the capacity to get to a hotspot. That is, just tether your smart phone. Indeed, who needs money, but the fact that something like 80% of all tablets sold, Android and Apple is wi-fi only tablet indicates that cellular connection is very overrated. If you're one of them 8 out of 10 people who do not care about the cell connection on your tablet, this should clear the problem.
5) No Flash - this is technically half wrong. While Jelly Bean does not support Flash off the bat, there is FREE repairs to get flash to your Nexus.
Google "Install Flash On Nexus 7"
The downside is you need a browser that includes flash encoded Firefox Beta (free at Google play). It's a bit complicated but follow the instructions and you will have a flash game. I have posted pictures on the Nexus 7 8GB gallery of images from both games AND flash streaming, flash video off my Nexus 7. Flash is being removed entirely by Adobe.
Performance:
Little black rectangle is lightning fast. Five core processors load things faster without crashes and without bugs. but you must not let happen frequently update problems later on.
