The Google Nexus 7 Thread

The Nexus 7 is an Android tablet computer co-developed by Google and Asus, the first tablet entry in the Nexus series.

Software
The Nexus 7 shipped with the latest version of Android 4.1, codenamed Jelly Bean. Additionally, it shipped with Chrome as its web browser. The Nexus 7 does not completely use the widescreen-optimized interface used by other Android tablets; instead using a new interface mode in Android 4.1 optimized for 7-inch tablets, which uses an interface layout closer to that of Android phones (with a vertically oriented launcher and notifications accessed from the top of the screen), but still allows apps to use the same widescreen-optimized layouts used by larger tablets.

Hardware
The Nexus 7 is based on the Asus MeMO ME370T.
