Landscape shows up for some things (apps, movies through Google Play, etc.) But its not on the home screen or if you upload your own videos. HOWEVER apparently you can get an app that makes this possible. I just haven't done it yet. But it is possible to view in landscape for most things WITHOUT the app.

Yes, if you have an internet connection to it! You should be able to IM, Text and email to whomever is on your contact list! You can call and video message (live video) if you have an auxiliary webcam hooked up or have the tablet turned towards you so the frontal camera can catch your image? That's one of the reasons I really love these little tablet PC's is that I can do everything that a smartphone does and more! Best compromise between a cellphone and a PC! Hope this helps! Be Well!

The Nexus. This device is an non-watered-down android device, where as the Nook would have its own personal version, that will slow it down and not give you a true android experience.

Nope. You can still install Flash on the Nexus 7. It is just no longer being developed or supported for Android devices. There is an easy to follow guide here: http://www.howtogeek.com/120277/how-to-install-flash-on-the-nexus-7-and-other-jelly-bean-devices/

answer 5
Flash is being phased out on the latest Andoid Jellybean devices in favor of HTML 5. A lot of people do not miss Flash. IPAD does not have it either. However, I missed Flash in watching some web videos. Google chrome, the browser that comes with Nexus 7 does not support Flash. I downloaded the Flash APK app and Dolphin Browser, which does support Flash. I can watch anything now. You have to get Flash APK off the web, the Google Store does not have it. If you google "setting up flash on Nexus 7" you can find detailed instructions. It really is pretty simple. Downloaded Flash, the new browser, enabled Flash on the browser, done.

If you google nexus 7 no flash you can find solutions to this. I have read you can get the beta fire fox browser and sideload flash. Seems like trouble (I hear it is very easy though) but unless you want to buy an older tablet that doesn't have jellybean it's what you have to do.

If purchased before September 30, 2012, you have $25 credit to spend at the Play Store. It will show up at the time of payment for an app you may be purchasing. A nice bonus and some very helpful apps are available depending on your needs. I LOVE that there is an app that reads WordPerfect files.

Yes. You have to have a Google Account, because the $25 is given to your Google Play account (which is free - it's all part of your account). If you have a gmail, then that's all you need. You can use the $25 on anything in the Google Play store.

Mine did and the new Transformers movie as well and no you don't have to spend $25 to use the $25 as I had formerly read. The $25 is there when you set up your gmail account that the Nexus syncs to. Awesome product! I love mine. I bought mine through Walmart and it came earlier than expected.
