Yeah, except most of them want a lot more than it's worth, and will end up having to keep it.
Either way, I don't understand what all the excitement is about. While the new Nexus 7 is an improvement over the previous one, it's not a "huge" improvement, and definitely not the sort of improvement I was expecting. Constantly upgrading hardware without any software to back it up is pointless. (from a users perspective) I guarantee about 80% of all Nexus 7 users WILL NOT use the front camera more than a few times if ever. I also know, there wont be a single app or game that will not run on the old device but runs on the new one. Android 4.3 will be available on the old device too... Even if it wasn't, there would be a CyanogenMod version for it.
Overall there wont be anything truly "essential" which you can do on the new device but cannot do on the old. It's sort of like deciding between the Galaxy S4 and S3. There is practically nothing that the S4 can do which the S3 cannot when the S3 has CyanogenMod installed, short of the bigger screen and better camera. The only truly useful, and special thing the new Nexus 7 has is the longer battery life. That is truly awesome. Also, hopefully it doesn't have the charging problem its predecessor has. But still, it's not like most people use their Nexus 7 more than 5 hours at a time...
That google commercial about the kid struggling with public speaking is so cheesy. I almost wanted to puke. Seriously... If I ever see ONE kid in the whole country consistently use the device in the same exact way to accomplish similar tasks I'll be truly astonished. In real life that same kid would probably use his Mac or a PC to do the same thing much more quickly and efficiently. I was also deadly afraid of public speaking in school or in college. Guess what.. No tablet or PC could ever help me get rid of that phobia. I also looked up famous people in history who were good speakers, and articles talking about how to overcome public speaking fears.. It was all useless when I actually went in front of that class, the only thing that existed is me and my fear. What helped me overcome this one day was simply.. repetition... going up there again and again... Same as learning to play guitar.. Same as studying any subject.. or learning any new thing... Do it over and over enough times, and even the biggest imbacille and idiot will learn or overcome whatever it may be. No Nexus 7 required.
