BFM, is correct, but, as a point of discussion, I could not add it to my shopping cart without selecting the drop down box and changing pre-order to Nexus 7, at that point the delivery date, when I tried it, became 21Aug and allowed you to order from Staples. Part of the anticipation of a new device is the excitement of delivery, so try the Staples order process Here, and post your expected delivery date. Note you get an expected delivery date by placing the N7 in your shopping cart and do not actually order it.

To me, this is a bit confusing, but confirms the shipping date from Google as 12-17Jul2012.

this is off the web site, but I just called about my order off of the play web site and they have "no ship dates as of yet" " just at the end of the month" I think staples is ramping up sales then going to blame shipping issues for non delivery, let us know if you ordered it from staples and you get it next week. would suck if retail trumps online preorder. ....." Pre-order your Nexus 7 by July 10th, 2012 to reserve one of these limited quantity tablets. Product will ship between July 12th and July 17th. Expected delivery: 1 - 3 business days, arriving no earlier than July 13th 2011. Your credit card will be charged at shipment"

Looking forward to the Otterbox "defender series ", I have one for my EVO4G and won't live with out it. This case is the best they make, and I have dropped it more than 30 times showing people how well it works.

"  Rear camera to me is useless.  I would never be using it personally and would much rather have the superior screen and processor/GPU."

Same here, bought the 16gig so I could get all my apps off my evo4g, it's just so bogged down and I love my camera on the evolution, use it for work alot.

Wanted something that could keep up with me.

Was holding out for kindle, bailed out after IO and bought the 16 gig
