No expandable memory is problematic


THE LONG-AWAITED GOOGLE NEXUS 7 TABLET IS UPON US, AND FOR MANY IT IS ALL WE EVER DREAMED OF. BUT NOT EVERYTHING IS PERFECT.

Since you're reading this, chances are you're an Android fan. That means you're as excited as we are about the new Nexus 7 tablet, and what Google can bring to the table with a tablet where it alone controls both the hardware and the software. It's good to be excited about it, it's a big step in a direction we've been wanting for a long time.

About 6,000 lucky folks got their hands on a Nexus 7 when Google handed them out at its Google I/O developer conference, and that gives us time to use and abuse it then tell you how things worked out. We're all Android all the time here, and we're pretty impressed with this one. It's almost everything we wanted it to be.

Almost.

With the iPad/iOS devices, according to Android fanatics, it is.

Now with Nexus, it's no longer an issue :rolleyes:

It's all good: No expandable (SD slot), no HDMI out...It's all good!!! Nexus 7 is the best tablet,light years ahead of the iPad ;):rolleyes:

Didn't they (Android fanatics) ether the hell out of iPad and iPhone for lacking these same features :rolleyes:;)

To be honest I don't think Google was going up against the iPad with this product. I think they have the Kindle Fire in the crosshairs with this product.

How much does the Nexus cost?

Do you expect a Hyundai Sonata to have the same features as a BMW 750 :hmm:

My man...I'm just stating the things the Android guys use to talk about. :smh:

They swore up and down that not having HDMI or other I/O slots on tablets/phones was a HUGE failure for Apple. :rolleyes:

That's all I'm saying...

I know and understand the price differences.

You guys are missing my point :smh:

Read my last post.

We understand where you're coming from. The price point is a major factor. If you're dropping $600 for a product you want all the bells and whistles. If Nexus was missing expandable memory and no HDMI and was at a price of $600 people would be up in arms as well.

I might not expect cruise control in an entry level Chevy but I damn sure better have it in a BMW 750i.

They used to bitch about having to jailbreak the iPhone proclaiming you should not have to do that. Now rooting is commonplace.
 
Hdmi is not really needed on a tab to be honest.

:lol::lol::lol:

This excuse is about as old as your jeans.

Stop comparing the specs of a $200 7 inch tablet to the specs of a $600 10 inch tablet. There is no comparison.

but you know jailbreak and root access are not the same thing and in fact have very different purposes. Most iphone users jailbreak to make basic changes to the IOS operating system. While most android users, root to change the operating system. The average user of both platforms likely will never jailbreak or root, and will be mostly satisfied with their device right out of the box.
 
$500 - $600 pricepoint for a tablet is not needed either...

hdmi and sdcard are luxuries that i would expect when I cross that $400 barrier.

Yea I see them as luxuries as well. More so the HDMI. I have never wanted to plug-in my tablet.. but have used the Airplay on several occasions.. so I can see that 'need' if Airplay wasn't available.

Extra storage is one of those things the more you have the more you use. Most people can get by with 16GB, they'd just have to delete crap they aren't using when they near their limits... but if they have 32GB or 64GB..they'd just fill it up with more crap on top of they older crap.
 
Yes they are the same thing.. gives you 'root' access to your OS. Just used differently depending on the platform.

Shut the fuck up you lil bitch. We were comparing the Galaxy 10.1 and the iPad. Same EXACT class...and neither has an HDMI.

I swear you must purposely believe whatever you want.
:lol:
It is an issue, android fans aren't happy with it, Google never represented the things you're describing. Manufacturers did. Asus made this for Google. And most of the hype is for Jelly Bean. If they had an option with HDMI, SD and that other crap.. It would outsell this one.

no expandable memory is a deal breaker for me, ipad or nexus:smh:


Point here.

Now you tough? Do you kiss your kids with that mouth? This thread is about the nexus 7, dick. Read the thread again and you will see the references to it lacking features. That shit made you mad huh.
 
I swear ya'll must be against streaming. I have a Galaxy Nexus and I still have 8GB free. Max Payne, NBA Jam, Grand Theft Auto and some productivity aps. All my music is on GoogleMusic, so I still have access to my 45GB of music at home.

For those of you that say the price doesnt matter when it comes to features, it does. Every extra connection that is on a tablet costs money. Its like options on a car. The bottom line is, this is the first major 200 pure Android tablet with specs of some higher priced ones. Streaming is big on Android, thats what you Apple fans don't get. It coincides with the Nexus series being sans a SD slot, Google wants its users to stream, which is what I do and still have half my room left on my phone.

How much is it to add those features? Can't be more than 10 dollars on the cost side.

The fact is, it's used as a point of debate as to why apple is fucked up - because you can't expand the memory. Also the flash issue.

Now google follows suit, so that point is taken away.

It's simple though - buy what you want. And that's it.

Shit I may get the nexus simply because it'll be updated and it's cheap. Got a 10" iPad and then a 7" nexus. Super portable.

Please point me to an article where Android users are pointing out that not having those I/O ports are an issue?

I can point to many a threads where BGOL android fanatics made not having these I/O ports on Apple devices a huge fucking issue :hmm:

I do not see similar outcry now when Google releases it's first tablet :hmm:

Anyways I've made my point. Fuck this shit!!!
