Non-US Nexus 7 Tablets will not get the same exclusive content

Nexus 7 tablet buyers from Canada, Australia and the UK will not receive the TV shows, magazines and music that US buyers will have access to when the device ships later this month.

During the 7-inch tablet's release at Google I/O last week, it was heavily promoted that those who purchased the tablet would have access to 'thousands of movies' and the 'world's largest collection of e-books', but until international licensing agreements are ironed out, it could be a long while before these other countries can enjoy the other content offerings from Google.

This means that aside from existing apps, eBooks and the videos currently available to these countries, many of the key content pieces that make the Nexus 7 so compelling will be missing, possibly for months.
