- The tablet comes with a user guide (AWESOME!)
- -- but when you add another user to the tablet, the user guide is not available to them
- for them to view the user guide, they need to purchase it on the Google Play store. Even though the cost is $0, they still need to enter their credit card info.
- Tablet also comes with a few books/magazines and a movie
- once again, all but 3 books are unavailable to other users of the tablet
- The clock system application crashes constantly.
- Even if I force close it, a few minutes later a notification will pop up saying it's stopped working.
- The Navigation portion of Google Maps is buggy.
- While I am able to cache the Google Maps tiles for offline use, it seems Navigation does not use the same map tiles. So if I've just set a route and disconnected from Wi-Fi, I will often see blurry tiles
- While navigating the roads, the voice read out will often just turn into "ding" sounds when I am meant to turn
- It often fails to reroute, and really only succeeds if I've missed a turn by a block
- Navigation doesn't always warn me ahead of time about an upcoming turn
- Occasionally it will tell me to turn where I cannot.
- Google Talk / Google+ Messenger mess
- the tablet comes stock with Google Talk which works very well. I am able to call other users and video chat just fine.
- when other users try to call me, however, from their gmail, I get rerouted to hangout. They can't call my Google Talk.
- This mess will hopefully, eventually, get sorted out
- Calendar stock application crashes when trying to find details on certain appointments
- Launcher crashes on occasion as well
- I've turned on encryption on the tablet, which requires a PIN to access it.
This has a side affect: Users may only use a PIN or a password to log into their accounts. They are unable to use Slide/Face Unlock/Pattern

I got a Nexus 7 tablet 2 weeks ago. This is the first tablet I've owned. So far it's pretty nice, but I've noticed a few things:
