With specs like a quad-core processor and a 1280 x 800 pixel display, that seems possible and likely.
All of those changes make the machine much more user friendly in my opinion.
The exception, of course, being the fact that the home screen is locked into portrait mode.
I see no obvious rationale for this design decision.
For example, there are no longer Honeycomb style configuration buttons for things like display brightness and Wi-Fi.
All that is left is the link to the general configs app and a screen rotation lock.
But what we gain is a new set of notification features.
The “call” and “message” buttons for missed calls are a perfect example.
Google Now is Google’s response to Apple’s Siri - of sorts.
The home screen’s widget system has received a bit of an overhaul.
It’s a smooth process.
In fact, smooth is a good way to describe the Nexus 7 in general.
