I just indulged in a dress rehearsal for a purchase and in fact the Staples coupon does work with the Nexus 7.2.

I wonder whether we'll see a better deal on the N7 or if this is the deal to pursue.

It's beyond our scope, but I'm also looking at the Nexus 5 and the Samsung Note 3. Those and the new iPad mini are the kinds of devices I don't expect to see discounted until next year. The mini also looks to be the first viable 7" tablet for creating music which has an OS with proper timing, software that's specific and a processor that's not underpowered (though that's true of a lot of other tablets this time around). Pity I won't get to experience that for at least twelve months. Oh, hell, oh, well!
