Interestingly on that Asus page it shows the nexus 7 running in Tablet UI mode:


I'm thinking it could either be a bad photoshop from some other device or it could show that at some stage this thing was intended to run in full tablet mode rather than in some hybrid mode. Probably just a photoshop job though because the rest show it running the hybrid UI.

Its showing the Tegrazone in "Tablet UI" mode...not the launcher.

From the ASUS site:

"World’s first 7” quad-core tablet delivers an advanced multimedia experience with up to 9.5* hours of battery life".

*"Battery life may vary by use. Stated battery life measured by playing 720p video at 100 nits brightness, with an external microphone, Wi-Fi turned on, Gmail logged in".

Weird part about that note is the external microphone.
Would never have considered running with an external mike,
and that should have no effect on battery life anyway.

No, look at the panel at the bottom. It's using the tablet panel and not the "3 button" phone panel. Indicates tablet launcher.

The nexus 7 panel only shows 3 buttons (back, home, multi-task) even when running apps in tablet mode.

Furthermore in this picture there is no notification bar at the top, it is contained in the panel at the bottom like in the tablet UI.

I seriously opened this thread and got major deja vu:

I swear I looked at the dates of the posts and thought I had gone crazy or something.

I really think they meant external speakers and not microphone. Proof checking is a dying art since spellcheck came along.
