That is the keyboard I have. It is smaller than a full size one, but for me it works fine. I can't say that others might find it cramped. I'd get it and try it out. You can always return it.

That looks like a good one.
I went with the logitech tablet keyboard myself. Similar function and a case that doubles as a stand.

I picked up the Zagg keyboard yesterday as well. It's quite nice and the case also doubles as a stand. I think the keyboard itself is better than the one on my Prime.

thanks. I measured my acer KB--it's almost exactly identical in width, so I presume it won't be any better for me to touch-type on the Zagg

awesome thread! I have been on the fence about getting a N7 or a Xoom....I have a lapdock as well and have been considering selling my lapdock and putting that money towards an N7 or Xoom.....but the 7 inch factor will be perfect for me. I am a 4th grade teacher and using this to carry around will add to so many things when teaching. Love the Xoom but i am goin to go with the N7...

I have the 16GB version. Its a good little reader, nice to watch a movie on if traveling and has a bigger gaming screen.
The best part I guess is seeing what the Android OS (Jelly Bean) in this case is really suppose to look like before Verizon and Motorola butchers it as they did Gingerbread on the Bionic
BTW do yourself a favor and use some of the $25.00 credit for Swift Key for Tablets.

What I want is a Nexus 10. The 7 incher is okay, but I like my big screens.

Thanks everyone I'm pretty much sold just waiting to see if there happens to be any discounts on it for Labor Day, which I doubt since it's been selling for more than retail without problem. Will be ordering soon.

I really thought that too but in my research I've come across a surprising amount of people who felt the same and then came to realize that the 7" form factor really allows them to use it much more often and bring it with them everywhere. Just last night I was reading a Nexus 7 article where the author said "now I realize why I barely use my iPad, it's too inconvenient to bring with me". The larger screens catch my attention too but I think they might end up collecting dust like my lapdock because I don't like to bring it with. If a Nexus 10 comes out and has HDMI out and SD card support, then it really would be tempting though.

from all that I've read, there is no profit margin on this tablet, hence I suspect you won't find any fire sales on it.
