Who's glad that Google didn't give out the 16gb model at Google I/O... - Nexus 7 General

Because they'd keep watching prices on eBay and probably have a bid in like me? But with less than 6gb free? Nope. Not even tempted, especially for the prices they're going at!
Now if it was a 16gb model with HDMI, I'd pay close to what I paid for my Tab 7.7. (Which the value has dropped drastically on. Had it on eBay, and it ended for $340 in like new shape. Glad I had a reserve. Might have to cancel my Nexus 7 preorder if I come to my senses.)

I respect everybody's choice and product likes, but I refuse out of principle to buy this cloud hugging device, but look forward to the T370, if released. It would be my 300s mini-me.

I would cancel my Nexus 7 preorder immediately after learning about no microsd, OTG or video out, but, but Jellybean (and a faster processor).
My poor Tab 7.7 doesn't even have ICS yet, and I'm not even sure how much that will help with the Touchwizzed interface. I'd be happy with it if it was a bit faster...

Google gives only 8gb model at Google I/O.....to challenge the Devs to open the OTG and HDMI supports.
Was a good thing for the whole community.

I don't think people understand what the term "devs" are. Google doesn't care about people who build roms for our phones. The "devs" that attend I/O and the "devs" I/O is actually put on for, are app developers.

Please support our game developers with positive comments!

Sorry guys for the double post, but the developer of the popular Bang bang Racing has asked that us members here at XDA help them by posting some positive, honest comments in the Android marketplace. Recently they have been receiving one-star ratings all due to the recent price drop, which to me is really not fair considering that all developers do this and these guys have really been working hard to fix the issues that we had with this game from the first release date. negative comments can really stop people from buying games, which in turn can hurt us as the developer wont focus on a platform that is not selling their games well enough. So in short, please take a minute or two to place some positive feedback as they deserve it. And look for more great games from the developer and updates soon Xoomers!!
Yea the game is great and if it was worth it for you when you first bought it then you shouldn't be mad enough to want to rate down a developer just cause the price dropped. People need to keep in mind that they are reviewing the game as it was when they picked it up and games of this caliber are few and far between; I feel like even if you don't personally love the game, if you can appreciate what the developer is doing then you should rate up and let other people decide if the price is worth it for them. But I'm one of the few people that think that there are mobile games worth MORE than what developers charge for them.
It sucks for peeps that bought the game early at full price (me included) and the controls sucked, now that the controls are fixed and bugs fixed, the price drops half price, I think it should be the other way around.
Just my thoughts.

I agree with you!! We finally have some quality games for Android an people want to complain over price drops!! Name on developer that releases a perfect game n keeps the prices the same??
whoever complains are idiots and have so much time to waste, i bought it regular price and even though i didnt like it at first, it grew on me and i love it now, if only you can get us some controls like death rally that would be great.and yes, most developers drop prices after couple of weeks, for a limited time.

Good idea on the ccontrols, I will suggest that one. The tighter controls really make the game much more fun, I can now come in at first place most of the time.

I agree that it sucks; but decisions are made before the game comes out but the real world situation is constantly changing. They decided after a while to add control options and lower the price to entice new people to purchase the game and for this people who initially bought it are getting upset because they feel they were cheated? it's not like the developer tried to screw anybody and I don't think they deserve a bad rating because of this. If you really have issues then just contact the developer directly; but to rate the game down and therefore tell others who don't bother reading the reviews but just look at the stars the game isn't worth buying is silly. The devs are just lucky that overall the game has good reviews.
This is almost like getting upset that I can score a better deal on a new Xoom right now then those who bought it on day one, and mine would come with HC 3.1 which makes it better then when it first came out....
That doesnt make sense....

It doesn't at all..The developer is now as we speak preparing updates to this game, they want to keep the game fresh n exciting for us. How many Android developers do we have that give us this type of support, especially when the game hasn't sold well? They have been really great an to suffer in sales due to immature ratings is not just bad for them, but bad for us also...we need to show support for developers who deliver quality which the Android platform needs

I'd post this in the XOOM, Transformer, Iconia, NI Adam, GTab 10.1, etc. areas, too, since there aren't that many out there with Streak 7s, but there are a lot with Tegra2 devices.
I'd love to see them develop some more for Android, but their asking price is just too damned high (said int he voice of that "The rent is too damned high" guy). $15 for a game is a hard sell on mobile, even if it is a great one. Gameloft, Gamevil, etc. are selling for $2-5. $15 better blow my freakin' mind. If they had sold GoF2 for even $7, I might have impulse purchased it; $15, though, would get me 3+ games from another developer.
I agree the price tag is high in the way of mobile gaming which is a shame I personally played the whole game via the pirated one and bought the game out of principle cause its just a damn good game and retardedly addictive so when I say the game is worth it I mean it
Hell I pay 60 dollars per consol game and this game heres quality is just amazing

Frankly, these petitions are getting out of hand! Its supposed to be a powerful tool to gather the masses for things that really matter. Open source, more support, freedom, things that are important. LG or any other manufacturer for that matter won't reduce their prices just because someone who does not know half the things going behind pricing decisions, asks them to. Don't like the pricing, don't buy.
This needs to be stopped, or even the petitions which would have had an impact otherwise will start looking like someone throwing a tantrum.

I sure hope a google employee isn't on this forum reading these threads. Google comes out with a phone that is much less expensive than anything else of comparable specs and yet we still have people trying to stir up the masses against them?
Should I start a petition against toyota that my car costs a different amount than in other countries? How about any manufacturer of anything I start a petition against?
Everyone stop acting as company CEO's, your beloved item you want isn't the price you want, DONT BUY IT. You can even go ahead and hate the company, that's not how vusiness is conducted. Company choose prices and then consumers decide if they buy or not. And then, guess on who's wallet it is if they didn't choose the optimal price? THE COMPANY, so shut up and swallow the pill or start your own phone making business.
There are much more important things that you guys could create a petition for.

I think, and I want to believe that this reaction from your part at all, and due to a misunderstanding of the fact. know that the problem is producing not only for Italy, but for all of Europe and probably even for the usa! LG has decided to sell its nexus € 4590 / $, then it is available to 350 € / $ on google playstore. but the real concern is that some countries are not entitled to google playstore, and even if this is not the fault of LG, were it even really penalizes countries that are in the story! ! In addition to that, how can sell LG mobile google, which declare his mobile trying to sell € 350 / $ because it is mobile prices too expensive! So yes, it is true that the petition is based are made for much more serious problem than the price of a smartphone, but at the same time, this is the only way that works for a multinational company has to understand that we sum does not agree with his political advantage against all odds!

I do too, but that's because 'Droids" are verizon-rebranded and they are historically gigantic piles of crap. I feel like comparing my nexus 4 to any phone verizon has called a droid is just an outright insult, honestly.
On the flipside, though, if a phone runs android or any android distro I use the blanket android term, similarly to how I use the term linux box for any pc running any linux distro

You kind of have to look at Google's motives for Android in the first place. They saw the importance of the future of mobile and that iOS was in the process of owning it. They launched Android primarily to protect their advertising sales business and then started monetizing content sales through Play. So if their motivation is advertising and content sales what difference does it make whose name is on the physical device or if people know their device is "Android?" I'm sure they aren't pleased with the forking taking place (Amazon) or the overlays being added that F-up the update process (100MM Galaxy's sold) but at the end of the day their well positioned in mobile and raking in tons of profit from mobile advertising and content sales. Google makes the same in those categories whether the masses buy a “Galaxy,” “HTC Sense,” or a Nexus where Android’s still fairly prominent.
“Galaxy” now leads “Android” as a smartphone search term which kind of tells you what volume and marketing does for consumer brand awareness. Samsung Electronics spent $12B in marketing and promotion in 2012. HTC’s market capitalization (the value of the entire company) is only $8B. That amount of marketing spend buys you a lot of aided and unaided brand awareness.
"Samsung ‘Galaxy' has become a more popular search term than Android for web users searching for information about Android-powered smartphones, highlighting many handset makers' fears that Samsung is becoming bigger than the other Android manufacturers and that the smartphone market is slowly becoming a two-handset, rather than an operating systems, race."​

You need to look at this long term. Samsung definitely has the ambitions to become a new apple, i.e. build "their own ecosystem". OS (Tizen), advertising, app store etc etc.
As they already have hooked enough of users on their brand/touch wiz, next step will be to release tizen and make sure there is a certain mass of critical apps and after this samsung can start migrating users over.
Users don't give a damn if it is android/qnx/tizen/firefox os or whatever. As long as it looks the same and feels the same. Which what touchwiz is for.
So I guess el goog will need to do something if it is already not too late. Sadly the motorola is not the solution.

The heck with us, average users LOVE this tablet!

We here at xda are tinkerers and perfectionists. We care about esoteric things like benchmarks and measure load times by the millisecond. The slightest hitch and we can't sleep at night for the nightmares of lag monsters and stutter beasts. We flash the newest rom just to flash something new and risk burning our expensive toys up overclocking them until they BSOD.
But you know that the reality is we enthusiasts make up a tiny part of the market for this tablet. Read the reviews of everyday users at retail sites and they are THRILLED with the gorgeous screen, speed and functionality of this new marvel. They regularly comment that the Tab S is THE BEST tablet they have ever used...period. Most of them even like Touchwiz, god forbid.
And you know what? Samsung doesn't make tablets for us here at xda, it makes them for Joe The Jackhammer Operator and Suzy Homemaker. It makes them for average folks who would sooner watch paint dry as spend 5 minutes arguing technological nuance at xda.
So yeah, the Tab S isn't perfect (what is?) but for the folks it is designed for it's pretty damned close.
Although you have to be a techno geek to even be aware of and consider buying the expensive Tab S.

According to xRevilatioNx the Tab S is a stuttering lagfest with abysmal web browsing performance. I guess you are just imagining things

Lol wow. You've pretty much gotten to the point where every post you make breaks a list of forum rules. Oh well, I sort of expected that.
Anyway, like I said, don't believe your lying eyes or the thousands of glowing reviews from owners across the web. The Tab S sucks, xRevilatioNx said so and he has benchmarks to prove it! Try to ignore that he constantly contradicts himself claiming that the Asus is both much faster than the Tab S and just as "slow" - he can't seem to decide based upon the argument he is trying to make.
So xRev, there is the vast majority that thinks the Tab S is fast and fantastic and then there's you. Funny, was at the BestBuy website earlier reading post after post about how fast the Tab S is, and then there was just one post talking about how laggy and stuttering it was. I thought, my god, xRev finally gave his BestBuy review! A 1 star review in a sea of 5 star feedback.
The Tab S is an amazing piece of hardware held back only by Touchwiz and in part what I believe are security protocols they implement (you are aware Touchwiz implements security right?). Regardless, most folks love Touchwiz and most people is who Samsung cares about.
P.S., xRev, I think you're lost. Shouldn't you be cheerleading over at the Asus website? And oh, the javascript thread? I won that debate. As soon as you started calling names and using contradictory "evidence" it was over.
Yay Tab S!

Thanks, yep its a great tablet.
I'm just curious. Why does a person who clearly hates the Tab S and considers it "abysmal" spend so much time in this forum? Why not just return it and go to the forum of the tablet they love? I don't think I would keep a $500 tabĺet I thought was terrible.

What an self-aborted, arrogant comment. Who do you think you are? Are you better than the average consumer because you have an XDA account?

Lol, WHAT?!
I sing the praises of the Tab S and discuss how the average consumer isn't bothered by the picky stuff we care about here at xda and somehow that makes me self absorbed? Sorry dude you lost me on that one.
@ Rev, do you own the Tab S? If so, why since you consider it abysmal? If not, why are you here?
If you read comments from actual owners at retail sites you will see that you are in a very small minority of those who consider this device "abysmal". Most feel this is the best tab they've ever owned. Oh well, as I said why don't you leave those of us who enjoy the fine Tab S alone and go back to your Asus forum?
WHY are you here?
Guys, it's bad enough that you both are ruining the discussion for the rest of us in one topic, but now you're ruining it in others. Neither of you is ever going to "win" this argument so either end it or take it somewhere else where the rest of us don't have to scroll through pages of this garbage.

I wonder how the Tab S is selling? I'm sure it would be better if it hadn't followed so hard upon the heels of the Tab Pro. Has anyone heard any figures? I know Samsung's sales across the board have been down, in part because everyone is so broke out there.

i think samsung hardly gives sales figures of their tablets if at all, but im assuming part of it could be because the availability of the tablet is not that wide yet at least here in the middle east
(P.s. i think the tab s series will turn their fortunes around in the tablet space for the better)
