Title: What's On Your Wish List For the Next Nexus?
Post by: radiocycle on July 20, 2012, 10:01:50 PM
I'm diggin' my N7 for sure!  But sometimes, when the volume spikes and I reach for the volume rocker I hit the pwr button instead.  I hope on the next iteration of the N7 that they'll move one of the buttons to a different location so that there is no mistaking one for the other.  Maybe the pwr button on the top?

What's on your wish list??

I am personally someone who likes to simply enjoy the device i have.  There is always something better around the corner.  For example, im sure the Kindle Fire 2 will have SOMETHING that it does better than the Nexus but who cares really?

I would think this tablet should last the average person around 4 years.

So 4 years from now ill be looking for this

- Android 8.0 (Blazing twinkie covered in ice cream topped with cherry)

- An Octo core processor

- Super HD 2040p screen

- NFC 2

- A photon torpedo launcher

- Equipped with a viagara dispenser

Rear facing five mp camera plus SD card slot. Otherwise I love it just the way it is.

Don't forget your flux capacitor!!!!!

I will say though I hope they won't build a new one in the same size for at least a year. Asus is really bad about this

Here's my wish list in order of importance to me:
- HDMI Output
- Rear facing camera
- Memory slot of some sort
- Replaceable battery (for those VERY long trips)

MicroSD card to expand memory

This is all that is lacking for me... 4G might be a plus.   One or the other is needed.

Also I remember back in the day devices supported a variety of expansion slots, whether it be PCMCIA, CF, or others... but there really isn't a current day equivalent that's commonly used.  I wish this were common place again because it allowed companies to add functionality that wasn't stock, for example a 3G/4G modem or even video out could be added easily enough given Google didn't want to take the time to add it.  But anymore devices are all encompassing with no expansion.

So add this to my wish list, some type of common interface for expansion.

Nothing! After getting a new tablet twice a year, I finally have 1 that's good enough to keep for a couple of years.

Smaller, lighter, cheaper?

Nexus 7 is a nice tablet but I hope tablets five years from now will have edge to edge screens, weigh less and cost less than today.

Lighter?! Smaller?! Seriously? One of the markets that they were going for was ebook readers, if they made it any smaller then it would make it harder to read (for a lot of people). There's also a reason why they didn't design the N7's screen to go edge to edge, again it was to cater to ebook readers, when the screen goes to the edges, the thumb/fingers get in the way while holding the tablet, covering the words towards the sides. Needless to say, they were totally going after the Kindle market

The Nexus 7 is already light enough and thin enough for my taste.  I would be too affraid to drop it.  I actually like that I have a case on mine, adds some grip to it and protection.

I use my N7 mostly for reading books. It would be much easier to palm if it did't have the half inch border on each side of the screen. My fingers would be on the edge, not in front of the screen.

For example, when you hold your smart phone, are your fingers in front of the screen, or on the edge?

Thats nice,  I don't read ebooks personally, and would also prefer the screen to go to the edge, but I read somewhere why they added the thick borders,  I was simply passing the info along

In order of importance:

1. MicroSD port
2. back-facing camera
3. gorilla glass - It's small and will get dropped a lot and will knock about in handbags and backpacks a lot. Corning   glass is good, upgrade to gorilla is better. I'd pay $25 more for it as an option.
4. Mini USB port - increases access to storage options.

To be honest, none of these is very important. It's new and great and I don't want a new one right away!

HDMI port not even on my list.  Please don't make it bigger.
