Backdated products in India

I would like to share a great point of view shared by one of our Indian friend..on a post Nexus 7 tab on sale in india at just Rs19,990

He wrote that :

"Whether it's Apple or Google, most foreign companies treat Indian customers like Indians are unwanted. Apple generally launches a backdated product in India when a better version of that product is introduced in US and others parts of the world (iPhone 5 was slight exception). Google's Nexus 7 was available in most countries - except in India - from beginning of launch of the product. Now, as Google's updated version of Nexus 7 is out in most countries, we hear Google Nexus 7 "will be" available in India. But, as I write the comment, it's not yet available in India (I checked their store). And how come the price of the tablet Rs. 19,990 in India when it's $199 in US? It just is clear they treat Indians poorly. In this situation, Indians and Indian companies should start creating their own cool stuffs. When US denied to give supercomputer to India, we Indians created our own supercomputer. Then what's a big deal in creating a tablet? We can very much create our own cool stuffs and we should start doing that now. After all, it's the work of Indian engineers (and engineers from other countries too) that allows Google or such companies to build cool products. If you fellow Indian engineers and entrepreneurs have minimum self respect, then stop waiting for Google or others to throw their surplus or backdated product at us at excess price. Let's stop being happy to own a backdated iPhone. Let's create with pride our own cool "Made in India" products."

So can't we really think of making our own Tablets and other products.?

I think everyone should share this with your friends online or offline and let everyone know about this situation and
if you really support India and the comment made above.....then please make a comment.. what you think of this situation and what  can we do on our part.?

Nexus 7 tab on sale in india at just Rs19,990

Google’s highly praised Nexus Tablet finally reaches Indian shores, priced at Rs 19,990. Tablet maker Asus confirmed that sale of the tablet would begin, with an entry level Nexus 7 with 16GB storage priced at Rs 19,990.

Though many online retailers have been selling the Nexus 7 in India, the device had not been made officially available in the country by Asus which manufactures the tablet in collaboration with Google.

But the device that would be available in India isn’t the beefed up Android 4.2 version but the older 16GB version that runs Android 4.1. It will be available in Croma outlets across India.

The Nexus 7 has received rave reviews by tech critics across the board for punching well above its relatively cheap pricetag, and was also named ‘gadget of the year’ at London’s T3 Gadget Awards 2012.
Key technical specifications of the tablet include a 7-inch screen with IPS (in-plane switching) screen with a resolution of 1,280×800 pixels.
The tablet is also the first 7-incher to house a 1.3GHz Nvidia Tegra 3 quad-core CPU, which includes a 12-core GPU. It also has a Micro-USB port, 1GB of RAM, and a 1.2-megapixel front camera (no back camera included).

And recently, a comprehensive test carried out by Dr. Raymond Soneira of DisplayMate has said that the display of the Nexus 7 comprehensively outperformed Apple’s newly launched iPad mini which is priced at Rs 27,000 for an entry level device.

And you must also take a look at Reasons why you should stay away from Nexus 7 (Read more about that here)

Reasons Why You Should Stay Away From Nexus 7

Will the low cost Google Nexus 7 tablet end up being a 'cheap' disaster?

 Google has successfully attracted the tablet market with its latest Android 4.1 Nexus 7 tablet. The $199 Nexus 7 has wooed the tablet crowd to the extent, that Google had to cease taking pre-orders of the 16 GB model, owing to huge demand. So, what exactly did the crowd find attractive in it? Price is clearly a winning proposition, so is the fact that this is first tablet direct from Google's kitty.

So if you are already considering owning a Nexus 7, have a rare peep inside the Nexus 7. 

Nexus 7 cannot read your pen drive: There is no USB OTG support on the Nexus 7, so, you cannot plug in your pen drive to watch movies.

There's hardly any apps in Android 4.1 Jelly Bean: A few days back Google released the software development kit (SDK) for Android Jelly Bean, so, it will take a while before you get to have a host of applications. Currently, Jelly Bean apps are limited in number.

No expandable memory slot: If you are planning to buy the 16 GB model, kindly note that you will end up getting around 12 GB of usable disk space. There is no facility to expand memory via external card slot. Just ask this question- what is 12 GB of memory in the age of high definition videos? You will always have to compromise on your old multimedia content to store new ones.

Google seems to have compromised too much just to achieve one aspect- price. Price is important but not at the cost of functionality. Several other complaints came up from Android fans like:

Screen separation: The display in several Nexus 7 tablets is creaking when touched at a certain point. The display seems to be faulty. Though it might be solved manually but if you are facing such problems, please get it replaced under Google's 15-day return policy.

Charging complain: Google seems to be in a real hurry to deliver its tablets. Chris Zeigler at The Verge reported that his Nexus 7 does not simply charge. He tried different wall chargers, but nothing worked. Zeigler even called Google Customer Support, which replied that the company does not provide warranty on Nexus 7 units sold through local retailers and insisted Zeigler to check with the retailer. Evidently, many other users are also facing the same issue.

Touch problem: If you are playing high end graphics games optimised for Tegra 3 on the tablet, then the touch detection might be a problem. This is due to over heating of the Tegra 3 processor that interacts with display and reduces the responsiveness at a specified portion on the display.

Microphone issue: Users at XDA Developers forum are complaining of a dead microphone in Nexus 7 tablet. So, check yours and use the Google's return policy effectively. 

Ghosting effect: Ghosting effect is a situation where a particular image is retained on the screen. This is a major issue with high pixel density IPS panels. The effect can be seen properly if you put the Nexus 7 tablet on full brightness level.

The complain log is steadily getting packed with issues, so watch out before buying this Jelly Bean!
