Anyone getting one? $199 + $25 credit to the Google store. Looks pretty sweet to me

Looks pretty sweet! If I were in the market for a tablet that would be high on my list. It's actually making me think I need a tablet even though I didn't previously think so.
Let us know what you think
Yeah I'm interested as well.
I need a new laptop and I'm considering an ultrabook. I would probably sell my Transformer (android tablet that has a detachable keyboard) if I did that and maybe pick up a smaller tablet like the Nexus 7. I use that for watching movies and stuff on the treadmill

I like the idea of the slightly smaller form factor if all you are doing on it is content consumption (reading forums, etc.)
Looks like the demand for the 16GB version was higher than expected, they have stopped taking orders for it.
Just saw that. I was debating getting one but without an SD slot the 16gb one seemed like the one to get. I'm honestly not sure what I would actually put on it (almost everything I do is "on the cloud", all my music is on Google (and Amazon) all my pics are on Picasa, etc.
THe only thing I think would eat space would be any program or app files. They are usualy pretty small but with the improved games coming out on the tablets some of them are now pushing 500, 600 MB, so that fills up 8gb pretty quick.

They should have a SD slot, IMHO. My android phone does, why not my Android tablet? I agree with you, the 16GB is the better option. It sucks to run out of room! Apparently the rest of the markets in which it's available felt the same way.
How have you been liking it? I've been thinking of getting one.

Ordered a 16GB for my daughter. She's been wanting some kind of bookreader and figured this looked like the way to go after considering the Nook color
I'll hold off on ordering anything Amazon has new Kindle coming out tomorrow

I considered that, but I didn't like the sounds of their locked down version of android.
I stopped in GameStop tonight to see if they had any of the Nexus's to play with. They didn't, but the manager was nice enough to let me try out his personal one. They only had one of the 16gb's in stock... and, well, I'm posting from it now
I like it quite a bit - not really any problems at all. It's seemed to slow down a little as I've loaded it up with stuff, but I'm still real happy with it. It's primary intended purpose for use during travel worked perfectly during my trip to Chile. My primary travel is ski trips and it seems perfect for that. For sitting around the house and using it here, I can see the appeal of something larger like the iPad, but I'm not willing to pay twice what I paid for the nexus (for the new one) for that.
