James Japan avatarPosted on by  

On Sunday, June 9, I bought a really great mobile device called “Nexus 7” at a very reasonable price, a little less than $200. Nexus 7 is a Google Android tablet PC. I thought to get a Smartphone but because Smartphones require a monthly charge for Internet usage, and because Nexus 7 can connect to the Internet with WIFI, I decided to go with the Google Android Nexus 7 instead. … Continue reading →
