I feel the same, and was excited when the Nexus 7 was released.
But no LTE on a portable device is just ridiculous. I'm going to jump on the iPad mini as soon as it releases.
I'm not sure how representative of any market I am, but Google could have had me as a customer from day 1 if they had had LTE on the Nexus; instead, I'll be giving more money to Apple.
- bryanlarsen 14y agoThere are rumours that one of the devices to be released on October 29th will include a 3G Nexus 7.
- GuiA 14y agoYeah but by October 29th I'll have an iPad mini pre-ordered :)
- MartinCron 14y agoI manage to rely on the fact that there's a wi-fi enabled coffee shop every few yards or so, but I guess not everyone lives in Seattle.
- wvenable 14y agoDon't you also have a phone? I can 1-click tether my Nexus 7 to my iPhone (which is always on me). In fact that is how I'm composing this reply. It doesn't seem necessary for every device to have its own cellular connection when they're so easy to network.
- MartinCron 14y agoNot everyone has network service plans that are tether-friendly :(
- plorkyeran 14y agoUpgrading to one that is will generally be cheaper than paying for a second device.
- andybak 14y agoUnless carriers start offering me several SIMs on one account then I'm not going to pay twice for mobile data. It's a couple of taps to tether to my phone. I'm already paying for a mobile connection and I can't use two accounts at once.
