The Guardian gives the Nexus a lukewarm review:

WTF, the home screen doesn't rotate? Hopefully Chrome does, because that's about the only way I'd surf on the thing.

Plenty of other positive reviews counter it. I wasn't impressed with the blog Guardian review. Reviewer is definitely technically challenged and not that knowledgeable about Android.
Home screen orientation doesn't bother me. I actually prefer the vertical phone view and always lock both my phone and tablets 7" & 10" to vertical.
Uh, we knew the home screen doesn't rotate. It doesn't in ICS either. Slightly annoying, but easily worked around by installing Nova Launcher. Chrome does rotate between Portrait and Landscape though.
My iPad is usually locked to landscape most of the time. The rest of the time it's allowed to rotate. It's basically never locked to portrait mode.My iPad is locked to portrait 99% of the time.
Nova Settings>Look and feel>Screen Orientation
note you can choose default (mostly locked), rotate, force portrait, or force landscape
Any word on the status of the ROMs, for USB OTG support for external storage? Last I heard it could read external drives for file transfers, but not play video directly off external media.
I don't really care so much about HDMI, although it'd be a bonus.

Is Netflix on this in hd? I'm looking to trade my aging tf101 for a new tablet but I want Netflix in hd like my razr.
I feel bad for people who ordered the 16gb from the Play Store. They paid for shipping and will receive it later than B&M retail store buyers who already have the device and saved on shipping. Very amateurish launch by multi-billion dollar company. You could forgive if this was their first attempt but it's not. What's the point of preordering from Google and paying for shipping when you're going to get it later than everyone else? If you order the 16gb from the Play Store, you're rewarding Google's incompetence. You pay more to get it later, and get less support like easy returns. You have no choice for the 8gb since it's currently only available on the Play Store.
My 16gb order with J&R is backordered. But I don't have a problem with that since paid $50 less than if I had bought from Google.
Hmm? I haven't heard anything about the 16gb versions shipping later than the 8gb versions.
