1. Hope so but we'll have to wait until someone tries.
2. Probably. The Galaxy Nexus does and I don't see why they wouldn't allow it on the Nexus 7 as well.
3. I highly doubt it.
[Edit] stupid auto correct [/edit]

I dont see why fm radio wouldnt be possible. its usually a feature that comes from the BT device chip

Really? I know the BT protocol is designed to lower interference by jumping frequencies but I always thought that the radios could (generally) only operate within the 2.4GHz range, much like 802.11b/g radios.

Questions go in the Q&A section

USB Host seems to work. Romain Guy from Google posted about it on G+. He used it as remote for his DSLR with the DSLR Remote Controller.

will the nexus 7 have wifi direct enabled ?
Can anyone confirm if the 7 will have wifi direct enabled? If so then the lack of add on memory will not be an issue as my galaxy s2 has more than enough storage so I can transfer over p2p

Best way I found is to use WiFi File Explorer and serve on your own hotspot from your device and type in the IP it gives you on your N7.
It kinda blows but its better than nothing.

And yes OTG works, but only if you have root

What port is that?
Why does this Nexus 7 not have that port?
I have a funny feeling its a HDMI port, but only for certain Nexus 7 devices. The Xperia Play Developer version had the same thing, but the normal one they sell doesn't have one. So it may be a "developers" Nexus 7 with a HDMI port.
Just my thoughts...
Yeah, looks like a micro-HDMI port.
Probably found on the developer and/or internal versions for mirroring to external display during presentations (like on yesterdays keynote).

I think you mean Mini, right?
Nexus 7 with no HDMI is a big deal-breaker for me.
I agree it looks like a Mini-HDMI port.
Well, from the schematics that were posted today, I have a feeling that is a JTAG port, since it's located right beside J1 (a 24pin connector on the main board) that has serial and JTAG IO pins. It would be good for the engineers not to have to keep opening the unit to flash it vis JTAG, which is a LOT faster than flashing over USB.
What schematics are you referring to?
Edit: Never mind, I found the thread.
The nexus 7s from the unveiling event had micro hdmis for presenting them on the big screens. That's where these pictures are from.

It's probably a HDMI connector. But HDMI is usually already supported (on other platforms) by running an MHL output over the micro-USB. This would explain why they didn't bother adding that port to production line. (It's always better to have to buy external adapters, right!?)
However, for the Samsung Galaxy S3, there have been some confusion, which seem similar to what you got there...
PS. JTAG is very unlikely. They'd never redesign the entire case just to add a JTAG port.
Wow, nice work digging up an old thread. (look at that date gap...). The presentation N7s had HDMI ports.
Go check out some of the other threads from this date (the day it was announced) and you'll see this question was asked, debated, fought over, and confirmed several times here on XDA.

Does it have GPS ??

Guys does nexus 7 have GPS ?? and does it support a 3g/4g dongle via USB OTG cause it doesn't have a mobile connectivity.
nishant_713 said:
Well i was in an absolute mood to buy it ever since it was in the rumors. but guys no back camera ??? not even GPS. C'mon, thats too much. Now i doubt I'll buy it cause the only purpose now I feel it has is gaming. Well i am not a die hard gamer. Too much features sacrificed just for the price tag. Would have been better if they released a better version with slightly higher price tag, umm.. around 300$ with GPS and at least 3g connectivity. DISAPPOINTED !!

Uuhhh why do you think it has no GPS? It says right on the specs section of the google play page that it has GPS.

[Q] How did you name your Nexus 7?

I have been thinking about re-naming my Nexus 7 ( Bluetooth, Play & PC) but I have really no idea what to name it..
I was hoping I could get some inspiration here
So what did you name your Nexus 7 on:
Play Store
Bluetooth
PC?
Screenshots included to further show what I mean.

I see what you did there
Maybe "Bugatti Veyron" or "NOT iPad mini [bluetooth]".
Things are starting to pop into my head now, but keep them coming!
"Warning: Trojan Detected..." for bluetooth
Mine is name "Hwa Rang"

(Bounty) Porting Nexus Q software to work on any android

Hey, so I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778012 and I thought it was such a shame the project was closed down. I think it would be great if someone could attempt this again! This way in theory, A person could connect their android tablet or phone to a tv or speaker system, and from another android device use there google music que to stream to that device. It woul also give a great way to bring life to old devices.
I'm going to start a bounty by saying I'll add $15
To get the apk's, just unzip the files from this factory image http://d-h.st/yeo
I'm also going to attempt, while working on my nexus 7, any suggestions would be great since I am far from a developer!
UPDATE 1 March 3/2013 Okay, for anyone else who would like to help out, I just found this Nexus Q Rom http://d-h.st/JCy It is based on IAN67K and deodexed, and has thing slike nova in it. The main use for it would be that it is a deodexed rom. Hope it helps someone! If you want to read about the rom you can check it out here http://rootzwiki.com/topic/35778-rom-nexus-quantum-singularity-project-phase-1-4-v102/
So another update, I've atttatched HubBroker.apk that can be installed as a normal apk, and will give your device the nexus Q setup screen. Don't open after install, hit the home button and then select broker.

Be my guest, I haven't made much progress! And it would be awesome if you could post any progress you make and problems you run into and then maybe someone else will know a solution so it can be a community effort
So the current problem is that it cannot be picked uoby a different device running the nexis q app. My theory,along with the previous attempt of this project was that we need to change the Bluetooth id of the device running hubbroker. When running it and going into the normal Bluetooth settings it renames the device as the nexus q

I have 2 devices with NFC. If I have broker open and beam it to the other it asks me what room the Q is located in. But then it just says connecting forever.

ther say, that the port to nexus tablet takes only one Day
not anymore with the new version unfortunately. even with the n9 and n950 it needs lots of work to be done for a proper port. you can read more about it at maemo.org.
