Amazing this isn&#x27;t on the front page.<p><i></i>live update below<i></i><p>New N7, 323 ppi screen, longer battery life, multi-user profiles, restricted profiles, Android 4.3, OpenGL ES 3.0, DRM APIs, new Netflix, pretty nice stuff. 1.8xCPU faster, 4x GPU speed, double RAM, front and rear camera, 4g LTE (optional).<p>Updated google apps: drive (with tiled display), drive spreadsheets (with online edit), new Chrome w&#x2F;auto-translation, maps with fullscreen layout, group videocalls in hangouts with screen sharing.<p>updated play with tablet app filtering and tablet focused categories, play services (cloud save, multiplayer, leaderboard, etc.) update, google play games app with google+ circles integration for matchmaking, some games hilights showing some of the play services integration, new Prince of Persia.<p>Textbooks content category in play: search, hilighting, notes, bookmarks, etc. Accessible via the web, iOS and Android with full syncing. Deal with 5 major textbook publishers, purchase or rent (80% off for a 6 month rental).<p>16GB WI-FI ($229), 32GB WIFI ($269), 32GB 4g LTE ($3xx) Major carriers supported for LTE.<p>(some other stuff I missed because of a phonecall)<p>Chromecast HDMI dongle (chrome OS based TV device), broadcast from your other devices to play on TV, but not streamed device-to-device a la Apple tv but pulled from &quot;the cloud&quot; to the Chromecast instead. You can select from multiple TVs with multiple chromecast dongles. Your phone or tablet is basically used as a really fancy remote control during playback (you can go do other things while it&#x27;s playing) with playlist queuing etc. Also control the playback from your lockscreen. Also supports iOS and other devices (via chrome browser). Support for youtube, google play music, movies &amp; tv, netflix, and more to come. Playback handoff between devices and sync.<p>Beta: project any chrome tab to your tv (other videos, photos, etc.)<p>googlcast SDK for developers to support<p>$35
