Quick Review : Google Nexus 7 (2013)

Pros
+Simple yet powerful design
+Rubberised back for better grip
+Felt like a phone at times because of the narrower width
+Android 4.3 goodness
+Display was brilliant and colourful. Great viewing angles.

Meh
÷Battery life was just ok. Survived a day unlike other tablets
÷Lack of apps optimized for tablets, most of the time ended up using Phone apps.

Cons
-Camera was bad, grainy most of the time.
-Fonts were too small and increasing in settings didnt help much
-Landscape mode was bad and preferred using more in Portrait mode
-After Android 4.3 update, its went into coma...I freaked out! I had to give a CPR and revive it back
-I am a stylus guy and noticed the precision of using it for drawing and writing down was terrible.

Bottom line
_The tablet is great as an add on device to your gadget arsenal. Its not heavy and is a good companion for surfing and email. Lack of good tablet apps was a bummer for example Skype forced you to only use in landscape mode, which I hated. Display is good and sharp but fonts were small and didnt help much (May be I am doing it all wrong...). Couldn't use stylus for drawing or writing as the accuracy wasn't there. It was quick and fast and I didn't experience lag. I did have a shocker when it went into a coma which I told earlier. On a whole, its definitely a great tablet with a few things which can be fixed overtime through Google's updates.

Wearable Technology and Apple

The wildly successful iPod Nano' square design was discontinued and a new design was called in. People were perplexed as to why didn't Apple pursue the square design where people found innovative ways to make it into a watch, locket, workout buddy and the list goes on.

Did Apple miss something or did they see something?

Wearable technology is on the rise and with Nike releasing its Fuel band, Jawbone  releasing its Up and Google's Glass Project, we do see the trend of devices becoming more than just for information consumption.

Apple never started anything new but instead improved on what was existing and stagnant. In this case, will Apple pioneer this or does it improve on something that's already existing?

That we'll have to wait and see.
