Far from alone with the Nexus 7
Michele has sent through a couple of really nice links to cases of people finding the Google Nexus 7 as robust and functional -- and downright excellent -- as I do.
Here is a serious tech writer -- Mitch Wagner -- using his Nexus as a laptop while attending the IBM Smarter Commerce 2012 Global Summit last week. Good company.
From the ridiculous to the sublime, here is a wonderfully eccentric instructable for hitching a Nexus 7 up to a PS3/Xbox 360 controller for mobile game playing.
More good company.
While Google is on about making money as much as anyone else, the hardware they get involved with encourages development work, various kinds of machine hacking, and rich possibilities for workarounds.
We need more of it.
