Great news for Google, except the hardware quality doth suffer. I had to RMA my first one, as the audio jack was spotty and only outputted one channel. The second one arrived with exactly the same issue and a screen that wobbled. RMA'd that one to get a third one, and saw that it was one of the early batches that had a ton of issues and I didn't bother keeping it to find out what was wrong with it.
So Google, if it has any hopes for displacing iPad, needs to clamp down on quality issues with its suppliers and make sure that these products match up to the incumbents they are hell bent on displacing.
- acedanger 14y agoThe quality issues really fall on Asus, not Google. Asus is the hardware manufacturer. Besides that, I agree. My first Nexus 7 had the "wobbly" screen, but only on the left-hand side, about mid-ways up.
- czhiddy 14y agoThe issues do lie with Asus, but your average consumer isn't going to make that distinction. All they see is Google/Nexus branding.
