1320832 2013-01-04 21:30:00 Ah yeah I got that Travel cover on the one I imported from the US for my nephew, it's cool, but adds a lot of bulk.

No need for a screen "scratch cover" though, the glass is scratch resistant (Pretty sure it's made by Corning), but not Gorilla Glass. I've still taken to it with keys and screws and no issues.
I believe the Nexus 10 has Gorilla Glass 2, and I know that the Nexus 4 does. I think they left it off the N7 due to cost reasons.

Oh yeah I'd be keen as for a dock for mine!

1320833 2013-01-04 22:08:00 Why do I get deprived feeling, when I feel I am missing out?

When I open google, I conveniently get weather for Swannanoa, but also a couple of adds, can I remove them?

:p
Although removing adds is nothing but subtraction, surely?

Very true Karamea mine, with your lips divine, question is, how to subtract.

Good are they?

We don't usually talk to outsiders.

In answer to your question, they do everything including talk.

1320838 2013-01-06 23:56:00 I just discovered a new use for the Nexus 7 using an app called Skitch. It is a free app that allows you to annotate images such as photos and maps with words, arrows, shapes, and text. You just draw on the screen - you can also start with a blank canvas rather than annotating an existing image. It makes me wonder why anyone would bother spending all that money on a Galaxy Note when it looks like you can do many of the same things for free on the Nexus 7. Skitch is available from Google Playstore. If you want to save your annotations/sketches, you need to also install Evernote, because Skitch saves to that app.

It looks like it would be really useful for placing names/notes on or alongside scanned photos.

Thanks J, downloading as we speak.

1320841 2013-01-07 05:20:00 I have found Skitch doesn't work on the Nexus with a stylus. However you can add captions/annotations to pix and maps using the keyboard if you select the right menu option. John H (8)
