NOT BUYING · 14 years ago

I’m not buying this.. NO SD slot.. too high a price for too low a memory..

Densflo · 14 years ago

The idea is you get your content from Google Play over WiFi and not from your local storage. That’s why they removed SD card, forcing you to spend more money on google play for content.

Ang dali nyo namang masilaw sa PRICE. Why the hell didn’t they include a microsd slot at leasT!!! Bahala ng tumaas ang preyo konti ok lang. The 8gb version is said to only have 6GB of user-accessible memory. grabeh naman. anu malagay mu sa 6GB these days? it’s strategy to make you wanna buy the 16GB instead kasi konti lang ang dinagdag sa pag manufacture ng 16GB. and unfortunately it’s working kasi gusto agad ng mga propect buyers 16GB haaay. no thanks Asus/google!!! I’ll PASS!!!!

Now I know who the brainy one is, I’ll keep lonokig for your posts.

Was finally able to reserve one with one of my officemate’s US credit cards. If you order from Google Play the price does not include shipping (13 dollars in my case) and the state tax. I spent a total of 303 USD all in. But I bought the 16gb version and a case.

So if you’re going to Johnny Air this tablet back home, you’ll be paying the NYC or NJ tax in addition to the shipping.

no support for flash player (and all succeeding version of android from 4.1) is the biggest downer.. seems like android is losing its one of the biggest weapons against other OSes in the market :(

Erin · 14 years ago

That may not be a bigger issue in the future as html5 is gaining more popularity and widespread use.

randz · 14 years ago

If i get this as a padala, will it work here out of the box?

seraphica · 14 years ago

not sure if.. smartphone or tablet… hahaha XD

Berkano · 14 years ago

I hope Johnny Air won’t ask a premium when shipping it here …

wreek888 · 14 years ago

Price maybe around 15k

Raffy · 14 years ago

Since Kindle Fire is tagged as “iPad killer”, yung Kindle Fire ang ginawang model ng Google para tapatan ang iPad. Competitive pricing with decent specs. Good job, Google. Sana may 7-inch version din ang Microsoft Surface.

lalaland · 14 years ago

sana nga magkaroon din yung microsoft ng 7″ na surface…or other brands that will produce a windows 8 tablet (Maybe nokia, samsung, acer, etc..)at the same price as nexus 7.. since it was rumored that a mini ipad is also coming… i hope apple and microsoft could consider this if they want equal market shares…

sana same price lng dito sa pinas… ang mga vendor kasi overprice kung minsan… cheap sa ibang bansa then pagdating sa atin, mahal na!

sana ung 16gb na version nasa $250 talaga so it means nasa 10750 lng sya!!!

kool · 14 years ago

199$ for 8GB with no SD slot? pass ako dito…

gian · 14 years ago

Sir yuga! Great idea for yugadeals! Para mura lang shipping! Yehay!

rafraf · 14 years ago

walang 3G?

Nice Hardware + Updated software + Very Competitive Price

Mr. Abnormal · 14 years ago

VERY competitive price. This will sell very well here in the Philippines. The problem is that, just like with the kindle fire, the $199 price-point will definitely not provide a 199×43 (roughly P8,600) price tag here in the Philippines. The conversion have always been roughly $1 = P60in terms of pricing. so a P12,000 price tag will be expected for the 8gb version. Even with that kind of price, it’s still a very good buy.

Mr A · 14 years ago

I don’t think so. ASUS is an already established brand in the country. Also, if Apple can maintain the same price point in this country. Let’s say not to be the case in ASUS. At most, the price point will be around 9-10K here. The one closes to that is the Cherry Mobile tablet.

yves · 14 years ago

$199 sa playstore. Magkano naman kaya pagdating dito sa pinas?

andrewkevinT · 14 years ago

kailan po kaya ito magiging available sa pilipinas?

flitzoffthehook · 14 years ago

Wow, if it’s just $199

Noir · 14 years ago

I hope they release or ASUS releases a with SD card slot version

Molly · 14 years ago

199$ 8gb
249$ 16gb

benj manalo · 14 years ago

Turonbulaong · 14 years ago

You can place your order in Google Play store. It will ship on July.

Marc · 14 years ago

Tried to place an order in the Google Play store since I’m in the US right now… unfortunately the store does not accept Philippine credit cards for ordering the tablet. >_<
