hello I'm Sumi das and with me a senior editor at cnet eric franklin Eric thanks for joining us no problem so last week at Google i/o a lot of people were able to get their hands on the so called Google tablet the Nexus 7 and you've been reviewing it since then first of all did you get it on wednesday I did I did did you wait in line no I didn't have to wait on line they had a special that's a seven waiting for I see the VIP line yeah exactly that's why okay i called it I saw the 45-minute line i said i'll pick mine up on me i'm glad i have to wait in that so tell me what you think of it I like it I don't know if you see my review but I gave it four stars and I like it a lot I think it's fast i think is really comfortable i think is really well designed i love android 4.1 not i'm not even a fan of the android OS but i really really love what they've done with the latest jasmine less yeah yeah the one thing I I have noticed that the battery kind of dreams kind of fast but i noticed that yeah yeah i've been using my not mention it's already down to a quarter of its battery my eyes it's kind of weird and right now and then lads we're conducting some official test so we'll see what happens with that but right now it's it does seem to drain pretty fast anything else you don't like besides the battery life um well I don't really like how the home screen doesn't rotate that's a little weird and I kind of I can kind of understand why Google did that it's kind of a safety net for people who aren't used to the android OS and that can be kind of intimidating but you know you have this long as you press the home button don't worry you'll go back to the home page and it'll look exactly how you know you're expected to look it won't be in landscape mode won't be and it'll be in portrait mode and it look exactly how you left it so it's kind of a don't get intimidated by this presses button you'll be fine okay now a lot of people are saying oh Google's going after Apple with this it's an iPad competitor but to me given the size and the price 199 dollars it seems to really be going after the kindle correct yeah i think so too i think that two hundred dollar price I think Google's kind of focus on on media you know at Google i/o they announced that they're going to be I know having they were they were going to allow purchase purchasable movies on google play participant EV shows before they were just rentals they now have magazines on google play so i think that that is sending a clear message that yes we're going after the Kindles market and finally how does this change the tablet market if you're if you're out to buy a tablet what would your recommendation be who should buy this who should buy this I think people that don't like carrying around 10 inch tablets in your purse or in their backpack I think that people who don't like the restrictiveness of the ipad and iOS android 4.1 is just as flexible as it was in four point oh it's just a little bit more user friendly than it was before and people who don't want to spend a lot of money on the tablet yeah this is a great tablet to get what I do like about it as a size as you mentioned I mean I can see myself carrying this around much more than I would my iPad but I'm not crazy about the fact that it's Wi-Fi only yeah you know I'm not too crazy about that I mean for me I don't carry around tablets in my bag I'm you know I use my for your nursing well my purse we can go into that later but but nope so I don't really have a need for a 4G or 3g tablet but I can understand people who just want to have everything at all times and access everything that could be kind of a bummer for them yeah those greedy people who want it all yes yes that's me I guess you're one of them Eric thank you so much for joining us and for your insight no problem for seen it I'm Sumi das thanks for watching
