Name 1 out of these hundreds of games.
So zealous to answer a rhetorical question.
With offline maps, it'd function pretty awesomely as a gps device.

Without a chute?
you're not, none of its wifi competitors have it. There's plenty who bought a 3G iPad just for the GPS chipset
he's a pure joke poster, or just the biggest apple zealot i've seen. He has no basis in reality
As someone who has always wanted a tablet for study purposes, the Nexus 7 seems like the perfect device. Great battery life, good screen size and light weight. I can store all my lecture slides on it, so it already saves printing out dozens of papers for each subject and carrying around an unorganised folder full of stapled notes.
Major worry is the software support us Australians will get...
With that said, bought!

listen to the mad man
Buying something is doing something.
My impression was that its not like Siri, in the sense that it auto prepares info, so you don't have to ask for it. Like an app full of intelligently relevant info based on your past behavior and time and location.
Google Maps' offline mode is SWEEEET:
You can adjust the size of the grid and it will estimate the amount of storage required. Seems the largest tile I'm able to create is just above 80MB.
How is it different from the previous option of pre-caching maps?
Google+ improvements is one thing.
Apple bought bought Siri... And also SemiPA? How is Google any different for acquiring Youtube?

Still living in 2005 I see.
Didn't the previous option only allowed for caching a 10 mile radius/square from addresses?
that "search" engine was a pretty big contribution to the internet.....

Can someone make a seperate thread for the Nexus 7 tablet? I would if I could but my thread creating privileges were removed a long time ago and do not know how to get them back.
The $350 price on the Gnex seems tempting but I can get a One S for around that price with superior specs.

I don't understand what the hell Googles problem is but absolutely nobody wants a little sphere with cables sticking out. That's the worst thing ever.
It looks like a Skip-It.
Ugh. Sorry to be a negative nancy but it took me like 5 minutes to deven figure out what it was when I woke up this morning. Google is not taking that initiative seriously.

and I don't know what to do! :lol
Huge feature for me. Virtually no device without cellular connections has GPS and I don't give a shit about cellular connections. The only downside is it's a tablet and thus fairly useless for direction finding. Google should really make a non-phone Nexus, I'd be very interested.
The Nexus 7 looks like great Kindle Fire competitor. It'll at least get some consideration in the running with Surface for my dollars. I do wonder how Amazon will respond, there's no way in hell they'll lose a price war meaning any future Kindle will be less expensive or better.

When my Touchpad eventually dies, something like the Nexus 7 will be its replacement.
$199 is the absolute most I'm willing to pay, so hopefully by then there will be a Nexus 10 for roughly the same price.

OH SHIT!
Preoloading on Wifi for Youtube app!!
Another Google+ feature ported to another app.
Wow, that's pretty awesome. YouTube watching during transit without using up your data? Yes, please!

Macbook Pro and Air are like 10% of their profits. That has not done wonders for them. It's all the iPhone and iPad revenue. Not even so much from their ecosystem, but just their insanely large profitability.
Angry Birds. The sad thing is that I'm not even kidding.

OP updated with rudimentary announcements list.
GET IT
I mean they even said it's getting Jelly Bean in a few weeks! That should seal the deal!

Yeah it's not very good on phones at least. Haven't checked it out on tablets yet.
Make one, the world is yours.
Personally I think Jellybean was the only interesting thing to come out of the conference.
Looked really, really sleek.

Most likely: Chrome, Chrome OS, Chromebooks, Chromebox, Chrome Web Store... maybe Google TV.

It will just be post after post of "i won't even see this".
any video of the whole thing?
I totally missed it
No. JB can be talked about on the Nexus thread.
You only going to get people complaining that their device of choice won't get this update soon.
Xoom WiFi, I assume? (official) ICS only hit VZW Xoom like 3 weeks ago

So how many people here going to order the Nexus 7?
Ironically, it's more essential to hack an Android device than an iOS device.
I would but it'll look ugly lol. Too lazy to make graphics right now
I'll start making one and see where this leads me >__>

For Europeans it sure was. Nothing else they talked about is or will be available here in the foreseeable future (well, except for G+, but I doubt anyone found that particularly exciting even though events are a much needed addition).

Definitely need a separate N7 thread.
Thinking about ordering one. A little worried about the size though. Hard to read PDFs on a screen that small?

Should YouTube and Android not be discussed since they're under 10% of Google profits?
I was really hoping for information about the Google Game Center, which was elaborated on in AndriodPolice's I/O Preview: http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/05/29/the-ultimate-google-io-2012-preview/
huh?
Wait what, the Youtube app opens the app, youtube.com in Safari opens the mobile version. What are you talking about?

That's a good point. Didn't realize that the GNexus is only $350 off-contract and carrier bloatware free.
Interesting dilemma between something like that and keeping my G2X and going iPad.
