...And I still prefer my Clip+ for music. I had to hunt around the Android store for a decent player for my collection which includes WMAs as well as MP3s. Google does not play WMAs (cue prissy, superior sniff). I settled on Poweramp, not because it was perfect, but because it was the first one I came to that was good enough. I just want to listen to some music, people, not commit my soul to a single, ringing, crystalline-pure music player that rules them all. Sheesh.

A minor plus, the 2-band Wi-Fi allowed me to pop up to the mostly empty 5 MHz band, leaving the lower 2.5 MHz band to my wife's laptop and my Kindle.

Someday I may do a better review, too. All of the usual things about tablets are at worst adequate on the N7.

Oh, one piece of free advice, worth every penny you paid: Don't go hog wild buying really great accessories. Shop around.

A $3 wire easel from a craft store will make a fine desk stand. I have one at work and one at home ... and they work with both Kindles and Nexii! It's a floor-wax and a dessert-topping! A chopstick and a binder clip will do in a pinch.

Also, there are good $10 EVA zip cases that will protect your N7 for transport. They don't have to be purpose built. My old K3 had a case that loosely fits the N7 (freebie!) and my KPW1 lives in a similar case.

As to ear buds, the candy-colored $5 ones in the bin at the cash register at WalGreens are my favorite, and you never misplace them, because candy-colored.
