I just bought my first tablet, a new Nexus 7 from NewEgg, and I think the touchscreen has a defect. There seems to be an area about 1/2" wide from top to bottom of the screen where a LOT more pressure is required to get it to register input.
Here's an example of what happens when I draw lines across the screen (along with a single line down in the problem area):
As you can see, the lines drop off in that area. Notice also how the vertical line I drew cuts in and out.
The biggest problem for me is using Swype or Swiftkey. Because it drops out in that area, when I'm swiping words that require my finger to move across that area, it inserts a new garbage word most of the time when I go across that area.
Should I try to return the tablet to NewEgg?
