Kind of like saying i can play BF3 fine with my 19" 1440*900 but 27" 2440*1440 is obviously better.

Its a choice when comparing the consumption tablets (iOS, android) or the creation tablets (win8).

7" is more portable, I use it 3-4 hours a day. I also read a lot of text.

10" is good for visual media consumption when your not going to be moving.

I dunno yet, they said today at the I/O that google services should be on apple, but I havent seen any articles to confirm yet. Amazon would be the way to go for cross-platforming, hands down.

I guestimate about $0.30 at the most

Yeah... Amazon's pretty good with that stuff. I think Google's Books app is just buggy right now.

However, it is quite clunky having to drag along external equipment, and a bit slower I presume. frown.gif
What do you all think about the official case for the Nexus 7?
what!? its really work? NO way.. I wondering it requires ROOT before using an external flash USB?

I have no issue with My 7inch SAMTABII. 7inch is good for reader, email, movie and games without problem. But If you surfing internet and journalist blog as your primary, then get ipad 2/ New iPAd.

It'll work without root. the guy in the video wasn't rooted either. Since I'm about to buy one, how does a 7" tablet compare to a dedicated e-reader?

I'd also want to know about this, I've been eyeing the Kindle(regular black-white version, not Fire) for some time now.

They have probably lost 25%-30% potential sales because of not spending that 0.30$ which would have been great marketshare against apple

I was rumbling about this at the start of this thread so great to see so many people complain about lask of sd storage

STREAMING IS NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR LOCAL STORAGE

I want to stream my terabyte of data from a computer not the 128gb of my favourite flacs/ films/ books where i demand perfect playback when i m in a plane train or automobile!

A content consumption device should not limit how much content i can consume

The point about the speed of the memory is rubbish also, in a computer i have a fast ssd and a slow hdd, the same can be done here if google are that worried about it

Re: [GIZ]Nexus 7: This Is Google

Why not just buy a big USB stick and connect it, to the nexus 7?

Because that's ugly, inconvenient, and in the way. Nobody wants a big stick coming out of the side of their tablet when it would have only cost google a few cents to add an SD slot that would be completely hidden to the user.
