View in browser Hands On: Google's New Nexus 7 Tablet While the majority of the staff was glued to the livestream of the new Google Nexus 7 launch, PCMag's Damon Poeter was on site. As a result, he got the first hands on with the flagship Android tablet. We thought the original Nexus 7 was the best offering on the market and this eponymous follow-up seems solid as well. Google upped the resolution, increased the processing power, and shaved a few millimeters off the thickness. A full review is coming, but for now check out Damon's first look.

Plug the dongle into your TV and you will be able to stream YouTube and Netflix movies from your phone directly to your HDTV in full HD. You will need Wi-Fi, but the dongle itself costs just $35.

Read about her struggle to stay connected, and stay in control.
