It's curious how the Nexus 7 seems to be using a phone ui rather than a tablet one; it seems to make for a lot of wasted screen space.

Yeah, one of the major UX failings of the iPad is the way the notification shade is handled. It seems extremely out of place on a tablet. I'm surprised the Nexus 7 seems to have a similar style shade.

Also centering the buttons in landscape mode? Seems like it could be inconvenient.
