There have been conflicting reports as to when pre-orders of the Nexus 7, made through the Google Play store, will start shipping. Google finally puts all the speculation to rest today after announcing on Google+ and pre-orders of the tablet have begun shipping today.
Also, calling Google's customer support line will get you an automated message saying that the first wave of orders are going out today while the rest of the pre-orders will be shipped within the next 3 business days. And for those of you expecting the new-born tablet, you'll receive a confirmation email and a tracking number where you can check the status of your shipment.
