I hope the Nexus 7 2013 gets dt2w. I'll be pissed if it doesn't.

I also want it in my SGS5 when the update arrives.

I have my doubts either will get dt2w as I suspect it's a hardware option. If you think about it, the phone has to be able to detect the tap with the touchscreen off. This may require a dedicated h/w somewhere in the phone that allows the phone to have the screen off but still detect the tap. Otherwise you are going to keep the touchscreen energized all the time.

Yeah, I bet it's like that. Google said this feature was only if hardware supported it, but these two devices are very recent and should have that hardware requirement. I'm not sure but at least the SGS5 should get it (Z2, M8 and G3 have it), although I'm not very optimistic.
