I am someone who really likes my gadgets. Every time something new comes out I get gadget envy and inevitably want the newest shiniest item. Unfortunately my budget doesn't really stretch to every new gadget so most of the time I have to settle for what I already have. I bought the New iPad when it came out and although I found it to be absolutely amazing I did think it was slightly too big to be truly portable. I mean there is no way I could slip my iPad in my coat pocket and take it on the train with me. When the Google Nexus 7 was released I was so close to buying one as I thought it would be a better size for me to travel with but in the end my more sensible ...  Read the complete review

** INTRODUCTION ** After waiting nearly 3 months for this item to be in stock and getting it delivered to me, I finally received it, I was very excited I have to say. I hope I wouldn't be disappointed after waiting this long to get it. I was not impressed of the packaging, but apart from that I am impressed. I got this after looking around for something that I could play music on, my partner came across this and decided to buy me it, its nothing more and nothing less of a mini pc. And because I don't really use my pc a lot, this is ideal for me to do what I want to do, and save electric in the meantime. It's a shame I had to wait along time to get it, but ...  Read the complete review

I have never owned a tablet, and was planning on leaving it a few years longer in order to get something with a little more power for less cash. Eventually, though, I was talked into making the purchase now. I realised that most of the tablets available at the moment offer as much in features and raw ability as I'm ever going to need from an everyday device. Internet connectivity and thousands of apps, all built in to a clean and speedy unit - what more could you want? Released last summer, the Nexus 7 was developed by Google in conjunction with hardware producer, Asus. It's a more affordable alternative to the IPad Mini, and runs the much more open and ...  Read the complete review

The Google Nexus 7 is Google's first venture into the tablet market and, all considering, they do not disappoint. With a price tag of only £159 for the 8GB model and £199 for the 16GB, as well as the fact that the whole design and manufacturing process was completed in 4 months Google have pulled off a masterstroke. The packaging is attractive and on the front is a picture of a Nexus 7 which is cleverly angled to create a number 7. The packaging is very safe, too safe in fact. Sliding the box out of the sleeve is a struggle to start off and took me around 20 minutes of pushing and scraping. Once you finally get the box out, the tape on the sides are fairly ...  Read the complete review

Lucky me I am fortunate enough to have a gorgeous and very generous wife. We have known eachother most our life, and we are past the stage of buying eachother silly christmas presents that we don't really want. So this year, for the first time we decided to simply tell eachother what we would like. The result was that she got her beloved friends boxset, dvd player for the bedroom and a few other practical, yet pretty items. Ihowever went all tech minded and geek-like. I asked for a nexus 7, and she duly delivered. Yay! Unwrapping After i delicately (I was like a tasmanian devil in the living room!) unwrapped my wifes perfectly chosen ...  Read the complete review
