I'm going to be getting the Nexus 7 when it releases and was wondering if I could expect the same lack of drivers that devs had to deal with when using the G2x or will the fact that Google is behind it make for more openness with the drivers?

i would expect the same lack of support, it is nvidia who is not coming out with the kernels, drivers, and plain text code. you atleast get the same NVflash support with the tegra3 so you cannot brick it.
Its google's official tablet, I expect a lot of support. Even if there isn't, google will most likely provide future updates that can be used to get drivers (ex android 4.2, etc)
It's Google's first flagship tablet so you can definitely expect full support and updated for a year (at the very minimum). Nexus S still gets support so that tells you a lot about how it'll be.
The HTC One X seems to have been getting good support so far.
Ordered a 16gb nexus the other day... I think we will be ok it is a nexus after all and I would think Google has thought of this.. Plus with actual timely updates the Devs can just pull the drivers anyways

Well either way, I'm excited to finally be getting a tablet. A Google branded one no less. Im just not very fond of Nvidia

Touchpad died because HP killed it. WebOS is the bomb.
As a touchpad owner who is running cm9 99% of the time, i know i won't be running webos on my one x.
WebOS is beautiful I want it

WebOS was miles ahead of android and ios. You shouldn't base your decision on the touchpad, a device released after WebOS died and by a different company.

lots of ICS and Jellybean's new features are a result of WebOS. I still miss it.
It would be sweet if we could dual boot
webOS with proper support is amazing.

WebOS was incomplete and buggy. The app store sucked and is likely 99% dead.
Android has always been more functional. WebOS was just prettier. Jb has bridged that gap.

Actually i used the pre as well. Webos does multi-tasking really really well and i like the OS but i don't like the lack of apps. I guarantee that people will go back to android unless we can get android apps running on webos.
If WebOS was still around, it'd be a better competitor to Android than Windows Phone is.
If I have nothing else to work on during that time I will look into it. I used to own a touchpad (look at my sig, but it was before i just sold it for a nexus 7 ) and I loved the OS. Its card view is fantastic.
The app store is what killed it though
Still it would be an awesome experience to port it.
I'd be willing to test stuff for you.
I'd absolutely love this. The only thing webOS is missing is some solid hardware!

But If I could run Android apps on WebOS I would be in heaven
I'm hoping for and evo shift or evo port. But any who the Touch pad dies not because of HP alone but the lack of advertisement. I feel as if the Touchpad was probably advertised it would have had a better User and Dev response. But with Open WebOS on the Horizon maybe we can add some more apps and maybe better visual customization then what we have currently.

I'd say the lack of apps was because of the lack of decent hardware. I know a lot of people who owned webOS devices at one point and miss the OS dearly, but Palm (and later the bozos at HP) were simply never able to provide any good hardware to upgrade too. The Touchpad was a plastic-y whale, and the Pre 3 was actually quite nice but never got released. Go figure, when they do manage to build a decent device they don't launch it. I don't understand why, but Palm was just never able to put together a hardware dev team worth squat.
I had a pre for a year and while I loved webos.. The hardware reminded me of a cheap Samsung phone...
I don't miss webos nearly as much as I used to because android now has so many aspects of webos....
I'd be down to test a port just for some nostalgia

Hi ppl i have a Samsung galaxy tab 2 7inch p3100 as i can't carry this to all the place, iM planning buy a another phone as I'm in android 4.0.4 ice cream s i looking forward to buy a windows phone in Samsung or HTC is it worth buying a windows phone or shall i go for android itself ????

Stick w/ droid.
i have a windows phone and i'm loving it the same way as android,
its better than iphone and its super sleek and fast,
but android is better than WP in some ways but based on the devices that i have the WP is faster
I can't get over the fact that Windows Phone is based on those fairly large boxes, so I'd stick with Android.
Have to say for using as a stock device WP7 is much sleeker and smoother.
But for lack of applications and mods in WPA7, I would pick my HTC Incredible S over my Nokia Lumia 800 any day of the of the week

If you go for a windows phone get wp8 as wp7 phones can't be upgraded to wp8 and so you won't be able to use certain features and apps on the wp7 models.

Wait for wp8 and then you can decide about to buy one of this.
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
I wouldn't waste my money on WP7 right now when WP8 is right around the corner (October-December). If you can't wait that long, get an Android device and make sure it's one that won't get screwed over when a major update like Jelly Bean comes around.
Windows Phone is a pretty nice OS to play with though. I have the Lumia 800 and 900 and love them both. However, the lack of customization options is a big turn off for me. Customization is a major reason why I'm beginning to love Android over my iPhone. Windows Phone app numbers are a minor problem for me. Most of the apps I need on a regular basis are available there. Everything else is just for fun and there are alternatives in Windows Phone marketplace. I have over 20 apps on my WP7 devices.
dude... windows sucks.
their pc sucks, their phones suck, everything about windows screams "we only care about money!!!" and they dont even give u good stuff for it.
but if u even need to ask this question, then either u dont own an android, or u do, and u simply have no idea of the incredible peice of technology you have in your hands and the unlimited possibilities that are at ur finger tips...
but hey, thats just my two cents..
Android and Linux to the end!!
No , just no . Android phones are simply better stick with it
I will stick to android itself thank you ppl

Hi,
I have to say that I love android for so many reasons such as the freedom it gives you in terms of customization... Nevertheless I had a chance to try a Lumia 710 and I was impressed by the responsiveness of the phone. In my opinion it depends a lot on what kind of user you are...whether you like to mod your phone or simply use it.....

Hello all. I am new around here. I reciently bought a Nexus7. As a Techno geek I couldn't resist.
I just finished working in a film where 90% OF THE CREW were using iPhones. Including myself.
There were a couple of crew on android devices. They swore by them.
When the nexus 7 was put up for sale I figured this was an inexpensive way to check out android hardware and software.
In a word I am very impressed.
Jellybean runs fast and smooth.
Battery life is amazing.
The customization options blow me away.
The screen on the nexus 7 is great.
But then most of you know all of this already.
I am here as a convert. I have been using an Ipad since the day they became available.
I like the iEverything. But I have learned that there is a hell of a lot of flexability with android that just is not available on apple products.
Everybody I show my nexus7 to regardless of their brand affiliation is impressed.
I have joined this forum so that I can learn as much as possible about android and related hardware.
I look forward my time here.

I kinda wish I didn't sell the cappy... my gs2 isn't very efficient as a music player; the battery drains like no other. But I needed the money to justify buying the gs2.
I decided I'm probably gonna jump ship to a nexus and skip the gs3. That is, unless the gs4 is a better option and comes out in time for my upgrade. Lol I've been entering every single phone giveaway in existence, but no luck there.

Nexus just seems like the way to go. While there is no shortage of a ROM community for cappy, the nexus is way more impressive.

The differences of being a Nexus device more than makes up for any minor advantages other devices have. As far as I'm concerned, the only Android devices worth buying are Nexus devices.

Wait what!? Mikeymike that ends up with a iPhone Didn't expect that.
And while Nexus devices are quite nice, there are plenty of other devices that are quite worth it. Imo, it mostly depends on the user. (Of course, we all have our own opinion)
