You continue to wait and wait. In the end you would buy a Nexus 70000.

Is just a piece of information. Could be true or not true.

Btw, even they were to mention that n7 would be launching the LTE and a newer processor. It takes damn long to arrive to sg.

For instance n7 3g. If no one knows how to bring it from US google. It will then able to buy from our cut throat retailers since early last month. Whereas i got mine since early dec.

No reliable leaks so far, so I doubt the second generation Nexus 7 will be released anytime soon.

There are rumors about a second gen Nexus 7. There are also rumors about Nexus 5. Then, the latest rumor is Google is now developing a Watch too. So many many rumors.......

it will be shown to the world in May, maybe along with Android 5.0... as for the product to be on the shelf, it would take longer.. if it was released on may, it would affect nexus 7/10 sales...

Yes, thats correct, the third storey is an open space carpark.

Charging by USB cable is extremely slow, and if you are using the Nexus 7 and charging at the same time, you not only find that the % won't increase, but decrease instead.

In fact, the slow charging issue is related to the Jellybean 4.2 as compare to 4.1.

Eh.... I don't think it's a rumor one should dismiss. It is very likely that it will be released in may, and getting it from the US is not very difficult - use a US VPN and order it on the play store, delivering and billing it to a US address on comgateway or other similar service.

Which APN should I pick,
I'm using my starhub mobile broadband Sim card.
Seems like all can access Internet.

The thing is sometime only one of it can be access,so I need change to the other one. Anyone got any idea?

Another problem could be that the battery is not sitted properly. I encountered this issue as well, take out the backcover and resit the battery and it works after some charging. You may have found that the plug is hardly making contact with the socket.
