As I look around and try to glean information about the N7-2nd gen, I find there is not a lot of posts generated on this subject. That got me to start thinking. Besides the the fact that we all like something new and find it exciting the question arises. Does it really matter? I mean, sure the new model tells us that things are alive and kicking and that helps validate our previous choices and it helps draw new users into the chosen platform, but still so what? I do not mean that to sound dismissive, but when we look at the N7 we find a very usable piece of equipment.

Faster processors, higher res screens,  rear facing cameras, mini HDMI all sound wonderful, but I for one am not running DNA testing and will not be using that kind of power. The screen is really nice as is. Has the Tegra 3 been maxed out? Etc. Many things can be accommodated, such as using a case for lack of Gorilla Glass (I will use a case regardless.) To me at this point the focus is on the OS. I believe that Key Lime Pie will have the greater impact on my use than anything else. Eventually a new model will find its way into my hands, but the original N7 is quite the machine and I believe has a lot time ahead of it.

Having said all that, I have yet to appropriate a Nexus because I was going to wait for the new one. This is what started me on this little journey. Anyway, what is your take on this train of thought. I have left a lot unsaid, but I would enjoy reading your ideas.

P.S. I must say that I am not a gamer and the thoughts above are advanced with that in mind.
