If you’re like me, your eyes aren’t what they used to be, and therefore you might find the font size on the Nexus 7 to be a tad tiny. Lucky for us, there’s a setting to fix that. If at any point you find the font size on your device to be too small or too big, you can head on into Settings > Display > Font size and pick from Small, Normal, Large, or Huge. Now this won’t affect every bit of text you see, so if you’re in an app that has small text, you can always try checking to see if they have their own settings.

You’ve just unwrapped your new Nexus 7 and you’re all set to start playing, when you quickly realize your screen is stuck in portrait. Now you start freaking out: “Oh no, did I get a defective Nexus 7?!” “Why won’t this thing rotate?!” “Where’s the setting to make this thing rotate?!” Calm down, take a deep breath, and exhale. Your Nexus 7 isn’t broken and you’re not doomed to spend eternity in the land of portrait.

You may be familiar with many of the standard voice commands, but with the introduction of Google Now, there’s a whole new library of “ask and answer” commands for you to experiment with.

So you’ve just picked up a brand new Nexus 7 (or perhaps you’ve had one for a bit) and you’re looking to learn more about it. Sure, you can Google information, check blogs such as Cult of Android, or simply fiddle around, but did you know there’s already a 100 page digital guide book loaded and ready to be read on your Nexus 7?

You’re going to find tons of reasons to love your new Samsung Galaxy S III, and one of those reasons is the customizable App Drawer. While I don’t care for the positioning of the App Drawer icon, it’s the fact that once I’m in there, I can organize my apps the way that I want — and that’s cool. Not everyone cares for an alphabetically organized App Drawer (especially if you often use an app that starts with the letter Z). You could, of course, always organize your apps the way you’d like on your homescreens, but if you’re like me, you enjoy having a clutter free homescreen to show off your brilliant wallpaper.
