Brazilian company selling 'iPhone' that runs Android -- legally - San Jose Mercury News

Nexus 7 not visible to adb over usb (WIndows 7 x64, up to date Jelly Bean sdk) - Google Groups

When the Nexus 7 is plugged in there is a persistent notification that indicates "CONNECT AS / Media Device (MTP)". In this state adb devices will not show the Nexus. Not exactly obvious why, but I you select the second option "Camera (PTP)" the device is available for debugging.
