I can't believe I've had the Nexus 7 for 6 months now and only just started a page for it.
I have had it long enough to realize
- I don't like The Cloud. I don't want to be productized.
- I have not found apps to be as useful on the tablet as a on a phone. I principally only use a browser. Therefore I don't need the Googoo Play Store.
- I would like to be able to use the GPS without Googoo tracking me.
Switching to Ubuntu
I already tried putting Ubuntu on the Nexus 7 in February, when it was first announced. It did not work. I will now try again to see how it's doing.
Ubuntu is trying to build interest in an Ubuntu tablet. One of the main reasons to install Ubuntu on a Nexus is to be able to preview what a Ubuntu Tablet will be like.
I already set up my computer, but probably have to do it again since I have upgraded to Linux Mint 15 since February. Good time to upgrade anyway.
