Google Provides More Details On Nexus 7 Orders/Shipments
I think it’s safe to describe the Nexus 7 pre-order/shipping situation as a bona fide fiasco. With a premium product being offered at such rock bottom pricing, it’s no wonder the entire world is clamoring for one. Well, Google is now finally updating us on the entire situation, giving us the full details on when we can expect the 8GB, 16GB and those smart enough to bundle a few accessories with it on our doorsteps. Here’s the deets per their Google Play support page:
We’ve had incredible demand for our new Nexus 7 tablet and are shipping them as quickly as possible. When your device ships you will receive a notification from Google Play with a shipping tracking number. We will have all orders placed through July 13 processed and shipped soon. Orders placed after July 13 will ship according to the quoted timeframe when you purchased and we will update you with a tracking number when we’ve shipped. Thanks for your patience.
