Not sure the hardware companies are tending to learn much from the software company about designing hardware, the nexus 5 was an lg g2 with a newer version of android and they are the ones that deserve the credit for their improved designs.

Incidentally, this new tablet's 'odd dimensions' should make it more comfortable for reading on compared with the nexus 10 so it is quite odd that it is not provoking more interest on here. |

I AM interested in the nexus 9 but my head has been turned by seeing the OLED screen, which means Samsung pretty much right now. Unfortunately I hear they stick the S with their inferior processor instead of going with a snapdragon. Plus the bloatware and slower update. Ugh.

I'm only interested in the Nexus 9 for the fact that my tablet usage is mostly intended for PDF reading and until now, the only high end option was the iPad.
Disappointed in the lack of a bigger storage capacity combined with the price jump going to 32GB from 16 GB. Last edited by roninmedia; 10-18-2014 at 07:45 PM. |

I just need the mouse support, so I am considering either jailbreaking the one I have, or getting a Mini to jailbreak it so i can use a mouse with it, ... would still be cheaper than the Nexus 9, as crazy as it sounds. |

One of the cooler aspects of aging might be this: feeling less obliged to assert your smidgen of correctness when you’re misread, since to write is to be misread. No one but you is inside your cranium and everyone has different associations with language and style.
I think I’m feeling a bit more relaxed than I used to about being misunderstood, especially in ways that are harmless. Quote:

I’m interested in it, too, though perhaps for other kinds of use (not to slag graphic novels or your interest in them -- I make a point of trying to find an especially good series to read every two or three years). Last edited by Prestidigitweeze; 10-21-2014 at 05:22 AM. |

With that in mind, the N9 looks like a better deal, it has the fastest mobile CPU available to date, twice the RAM of the mini while carrying the same price tag. |

Well if you're going to compare to Apple, everything looks reasonable
![]() But yeah it is priced fairly. People are disappointed that nexus is not the deal it used to be. Why in the world are we still stuck with 16 gig as base flash storage? The iPad came out years ago with 16gb. Still the same. Ditto must android tablets. I think the nvidia shield comes with 32 standard but it's aimed at gamers and is an exception.

Nexus is still considered a developer device, maybe? If it came with 64gb as minimum size, then it may send the wrong idea that for Android to work well it needs a lot of storage. Plus less local storage will make cloud storage / cloud computing look a lot more interesting.

16GB is ample storage for a person who uses the tablet for tasks like web browsing, email, and reading, which is all that many people do. The 4000+ books on my Nexus 7, for example, occupy a little over 3GB of storage space.
