Why I Sold My Nexus 7

Many of you have heard by now that I sold my Google Nexus 7. This video is an explanation as to why. I'd still be happy to answer any questions you have so leave them in the comments below before Sept. 25th to be included in the future Q&A video!



The Nexus 7's form factor was fantastic. Android Jelly Bean was surprisingly responsive and incredibly customizable. For an Android user, the Nexus 7 at $199 is an amazing tablet. For an Apple user, it will be hard to transition into the world of Droid. Especially if you already have an iPhone. Would I recommend the Nexus 7? Yes. Did I need one? No.

A special thanks to all 1800+ of you for your continued support through 100 videos! I look forward to the future! You guys ROCK!

Google Nexus 7: The Little Tablet That Could

 

Google has recently announced their new entry-level tablet, Nexus 7. The Nexus 7 was constructed by Asus but uses Google's Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system. The OS doesn't have any overlay on it. So what you are seeing is pure Android Jelly Bean 4.1.

As you can probably tell by the name, the Nexus 7 features a 7" display, with a resolution of 1280x800, (216 PPI). It also features a 1.2 Megapixel front facing camera and on-screen soft buttons to access menu, back, and multi-tasking. The tablet weighs an impressive 340g. It also supports WiFi 802.11 b/g/n as well as support for Bluetooth. Nexus 7 requires Micro USB to charge and sync. There is also NFC found on the Nexus 7, not to mention the obvious Microphone, Accelerometer, GPS, Magnetometer and Gyroscope.

The Nexus 7 comes packed with a quad core Tegra 3 processor for a super fast experience when using the tablet. It also has 1GB of RAM, a 4325 mAh Battery (Up to 8 hours of active use), and capacity sizes ranging from 8GB to 16GB, depending on what model you choose. 

I am sure that you could all agree that the tablet packs some great features, blowing the Kindle Fire and Barnes and Nobles Nook Tablet out of the water. It is a no brainer. 

You can pre-order the Google Nexus 7 from the Google Play Store for a very reasonable £159 for the 8GB model. However, you also have the option to purchase a 16GB Google Nexus 7 for £199. 

So, what do you think of the Google Nexus 7? Do you see yourself purchasing one? Is there anything specific you wanted to see on the Nexus 7? Feel free to share your opinion in the comments section.

Review: Joby GorillaPod 

The Joby GorillaPod is certainly a great tripod if you don't mind the size. It is very sturdy, flexable and most of all, fun! This tripod isn't ment to be used for serious photography as it is very lightweight, but for taking the odd photo or video, this is a great little accessory. There are many colours available for the Joby GorillaPod, these include the following:

  • White (as shown on video)
  • Yellow
  • Red
  • Green
  • Pink
  • Blue 
  • Orange

The advantages to this mini tripod is that you can wrap it round more or less everything with it's bendy legs. In the video shown above, I had the tripod wrapped around my monitor (Acer S243HL), lampshade and also my guitar! It is seriously amazing. I also like how cheap the GorillaPod is, on Amazon UK , you can buy this tripod for just £11.70! This is a bargain. The third thing I like about this tripod is the large variety of colours, they look great.

The disadvanteges to the Joby GorillaPod is that it is literally tiny! Also, when you bend the legs, it tends to nip your skin, which is very annoying! But other than that, I can't complain!

Over all, I give this tripod a 9 out of 10!

Buy - "Joby GorillaPod"
