Awesome!  I'll wait until a few reviews are posted just to very it fits the N7, but what a great price at $9.  It also seems to be a wallet replacement, though I'm not sure I'd use all the slots and pockets.

The four gold dots are pogo pins and are not capable of outputting video. I called Google and at first the rep told me that it would put video out via a micro usb to hdmi cable. I asked him to verify this and he went to actually test this on a tablet. He came back and had been told to tell me that this capability was not supported. He said that if it did work, the device was not designed to do so. I suspect they want to sell their Q.

That's what I'm thinking, they didn't add it in hopes that the Q would sell, but honestly I doubt most people would spend $299 so they could output video from a $199 device.  I hope someone adds this to a dock or something else, even if it's not Google sanctioned, because video out is the one thing keeping me from calling the N7 perfect.  I mean heck it's just one more connector on the motherboard...  Maybe someone will find a way to add it since Android supports it natively.

I don't know of any apps I'd use on the N7 that I'm not already using, most of what I use I was able to side-load on my Kindle Fire, but given the lack of microphone and camera there are some that just won't work.  But here are the apps I plan on using:

- Skype and Google Hangout for video/audio chat
- Doggcatcher for audio and video podcasts
- TuneIn Radio for streaming audio
- Ustream to live stream content from the N7
- Netflix
- Google Plus (of course)
- Google Maps with cached maps and GPS (nice to have larger screen)
- Echolink for ham radio chatter
- Pluralsight for various training videos (paid subscription through work)
- Amazon Kindle app and Amazon Prime app (hopefully they work)
- Various news and magazine apps

And since the N7 doesn't ship with any type of camera software I'll see if I can sideload the Camera and Camcorder app from my DroidX.  Though it's only a front facing camera hopefully I can take pics with it while around the house.

So nothing too ground breaking, but it'll be nice being able to access the Google store directly instead of having to side load everything as I do now with the Fire.

Interesting results...  The fear of bricking my devices is what keeps me away from rooting them, so I'll probably keep the N7 stock for the most part.  Besides from what I see most people root their devices to use the stock version of Android, which this will have outta the gate, so what advantage is there in rooting it?

Now if HDMI support can be added through the docking pins that may be a reason to root...  That's the one feature the N7 lacks that I really wish they had added.

Yup keyboard and mouse support are amazing capabilities, and I'll definitely use both.  The mouse feature though just totally amazed me since I've never seen a tablet support a mouse before and given I remote desktop into my work fairly often this just seems like a great fit (given I can get VPN to work as well).

And I did see your post about the audio dock for the N7, so definitely I'll be experimenting with this too and will share what I find.  Since the Kindle Fire is really my only tablet for now I connect it to our home stereo using the headphone jack which isn't the best. Having audio through the USB port will be great, or even Bluetooth audio which would be a neat perk.

Some neat things coming with the N7, I just can't wait until it's finally in my hands to play with

Anyone know if live wallpaper will work the same on 4.1 and the N7 as it does on older Android devices?

The HDMI out was the biggest bummer for me, plus having a rear facing camera would've been nice.  Other then these I'm happy with it.  Even if it had a 3G/4G radio on board I'd probably not use it.  Also I got the 16 Gig model, so I'm betting that's enough storage for me. 

But for $199 it definitely blows away the Kindle Fire which is what I'm using now.

Firstly here's a link to the Nexus 7 Manual through Google Play:
https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=gKmQD47OvCYC

And after reading through it there are a few features I've yet to see anyone demo or highlight, and I'm not sure why.

The biggest is Google Actions (pages 34 and 35 in manual) which says the N7 will sample audio from the microphone every few seconds and if you say "Google" it'll instantly start listening to voice commands with no need to press the microphone button.  This seems amazing, and if the API allows third party apps to tie into this it opens some neat possibilities.  But I've yet to see anyone talk about it or show any demos. 

Also pages 59 and 60 shows using a VPN, so any word on how this works?  If it's compatible with our work's VPN this might be a great way to connect in when on the go given I can find a good RDP client for Android. 

Speaking of, page 67 and 68 mention mouse and keyboard support, which a mouse working on it is something very unexpected.  But the manual says "an arrow shaped cursor appears just as on a computer".  WOW!  Again, for RDP connections into desktop systems this is TOTALLY FTW!

Pages 80 and 81 mentions encryption which is another wonderful feature I've yet to see anyone demo, so I'd be curious to see how this works and whether or not it slows the system down.

So just a few things I've read that I've yet to see anyone who already has one cover.  Most people seem to be highlighting the obvious things, but I'd love to see someone demo these features.  I also have an N7 on order, so if I can't find any demos by then I'll do one myself

Take care --
