What is that pic from?


Its from the Verge. Picture of the stock at Adorama.

Nexus 7 Smart Cover ripoff: Magnetic sensors discovered on Google tab

Of course it's a bgr article so saltmine might be required. IIRC the old crackberries had something similer so they wouldn't turn on in the phone holster.


Here's my prediction: Apple is on their way to court right now to file a lawsuit against Google for swiping their magnetic doohickey. Injunction? Google should have disabled the sensor then re-enabled it later through a OTA.

I asked because the Gamestop lady told me they were expressly forbidden from even taking photographs of the things. Can I declare this launch a CF at this point? We've got places that have it in stock that are not selling it. We've got reports that this is because of Google for some unknown reason. We've got other retailers who are selling it because either Google didn't tell them not to or they're just ignoring what Google told them. Through the whole thing Google says absolutely nothing. This whole thing is ridiculous.
