Any thoughts? Will the screen hold up in sunlight? It has GPS, accelerometer and a gyro. Is the 16 GB enough? Thanks, Peter It has those sensors, but it doesn't have a barometer. The phone (Galaxy Nexus) has a barometer. I've tested it in the airplane (after inputting altimeter setting) and it's very accurate. I was disappointed that they left it out of the Nexus 7. The primary reason for including barometers is to get a faster GPS fix. If the Nexus 7 GPS chipset acquires quickly, that might be why they left it out.
