I've been exploring some. At one point I had like 20 Google tabs open when I was trying to close the damn things! Everytime I thought I was hitting an X another tab popped up. Then somehow I went into incognito mode and couldn't figure out how to get back to regular Google.
I think I'll just stick to my pc when I want to browse the web! |

Which browser were you using? Because that can make a huge difference in how much you enjoy browsing on the tablet. I thought I was going to hate using my tablets for browsing as well, but once I found the right browser for me, I have no problems.

I'm using Chrome that came with it. I'll take suggestions for it. Also, what do I need to do to get the music that I have on cd that I put into WMP and transferred over to my Nexus to play it tell me that it can't play it. But all this music works just fine on my SGP5! What's the difference between the two?

Oh well, I'm not going to be using the player all that much since this tablet is pretty much for house use only so I would be listening to my full audio system which has much better sound! I'm getting the hang of browsing via a tablet like double tapping to enlarge the screen ect. I have ordered this case for my Nexus: http://www.amazon.com/FINTIE-Leather..._pe_p_t_1_A26X It should do well enough for at home use. |

If you've got a Windows machine, take a look at uploading your music to Google Play, which is free for up to 20,000 tracks. WMA is supported when uploading from Windows (I think it's then converted for you to mp3). You can then stream to your Nexus 7 wherever you have an internet connection, or tap the 'pin' against tracks or albums that you want to download to the device (as mp3s).
This has the added bonus that your music's then available to all your devices - or even from someone else's if you happen to be round at their house - you just stream via any browser. Graham |

I suggest searching Play for browsers and just trying any that catch your eye. They'll have screenshots in the app description so you know ahead of time what the UI looks like. You may still decide you don't like web browsing on it, but at least you'll have explored all options. |

The only common problem with the Nexus is flaky wi-fi.
