Title: Lets Play a Game
Post by: Tiny on September 15, 2012, 04:18:51 PM: The Alphabet Game is simple and might be a good way to learn something new about our Nexus 7s. We go through the alphabet, starting with A, then B, C, D, etc. When we get to Z, we start over with A. For each letter, name one feature, game, event, application, person, etc. The word must refer to the Nexus 7 in some way. You can only post one letter at a time, and you have to wait for someone else to post something for the next letter before you can post again. I'll get us started.

A is for ASUS, the manufacturer of the Nexus 7.
