watching and moving in bed it just feels
right that's Nexus 7 Nexus 7 is made for
google play when you power it on your
content is front and center right here
on the home screen is my library
containing the content I've recently
been reading listening to or watching on
any of my devices so earlier I was
reading The Bourne Dominion on my phone
so we can tap on the cover there and
pick up exactly where I left off on that
other device now I'd like to show you
the magazine experience on Nexus 7
here's the new Google Play magazines app
and just like your coffee table the
newest stuff is on top you can swipe
through and find something that's
interesting to read why don't we go
ahead and esquire and if I once I bring
it up I can tap on it and bring up a
list of page thumbnails on the bottom to
kind of quickly swipe through find an
article that I'm interested in reading
so yeah that one looks good and once we
open it up you look that the content
just looks beautiful on Nexus 7 but if I
want to focus maybe on something that's
a little bit more of a pure reading
experience I could tap on the the view
text link and get the contents of the
article in a form that's optimized for
that still looks beautiful on Google
Nexus 7 is also ideal for watching
movies and TV wherever you are long
plane rides road trips with the family
or just sitting at home watching on the
sofa so let's open the google play
movies and TV app and here you see all
of your movies we can swipe over to see
TV shows and you can get your personal
videos as well you can of course also
download your shows for offline use if
you're going to be somewhere without
Wi-Fi like on a plane so that's finding
content I already have what about
discovering new content with Nexus 7

recommendations engine for discovering
content that's relevant to you we
present this information on beautiful
and dynamic widgets on your home screen
here you can see that we've set ours up
for recommendations for apps books and
movies but you can customize it to show

recommendation just dismiss it you'll
get another these widgets are
intelligent and they'll get smarter and
more accurate the more you use them

scroll down and tap on see inside once I
do I'm inside the bar I've got this nice

now we've had this feature for a little
while but what we've done in the latest
version is hook it up to the gyroscope
which makes it incredibly smooth and
fast and very responsive it's just like
being there now as we announced we're
also adding support for offline maps so
you can save the data for an entire city
locally on the device as easy as
bringing up the menu and tapping make

version of Google Maps shipping with
Nexus 7 with its quad-core CPU gyroscope
and accelerometer Nexus 7 is a serious
gaming device will start with the game
horn from phosphorus phosphorus in
Chicago
horn is an epic adventure set in a
richly detailed world with the kind of
environment never before seen on a
mobile device we've got lens flares
environmental effects and even
individually rendered leaves on the
trees so as a Randall takes the express
elevator down here we can see that in
addition to the the graphics looking
beautiful the animation is very fluid
and it just controls beautifully this is
the kind of experience that until
recently you would have not have been
able to see anywhere out of a dedicated
