Google Nexus Pad

Connection. Simple as that. I don't want to have to connect to the interweb and download every time I want to watch something. Personal reason for having this sort of this is to be able to load a book up and read it on the train or watch a film on a flight. It looks like the real deal I just wish they'd have thought about external storage. Of course you can pre download before getting on the train/plane but how long would that take and how many films can you store on the internal drive.....

16gb is quite a lot of books, you have to load whatever onto the card anyway so why would it be so different? I'd have thought you can transfer via mini USB.

I have 3 movies, loads of music, photo's and countless apps on my phone using up about 6 of the 16gb available, I guess if you're going to the Amazon jungle for 2 months it could be a problem.

Why can't you use cloud storage? SD is old hat as hardly any new devices are launching with a slot.

This sort of Nexus?



Or an earlier model?

It's a Nexus 7 so it's more advanced, it doesn't ask so many questions.

No extrenal storage option, cloud land or nothing. Not yet. Stick an external micro SD slot in it and then it's a runner

Does it run windows 8?

Will be announced today and on sale by early July, I can't see it being the rumoured £130 but who knows?

Anyone other than me excited by this?

Did know that app. looks well worth the £3 it will cost.

Aye, it's brilliant. Just avoid the temptation to quote *exactly* what the idiot product owner said in the last meeting, while looking smug.

Just ordered a 16gb for £209 delivered, it does everything I want which has nothing to do with productivity.

I love Google™

[eek]

My first thought was 'I'll have that'.

Then 'I'd better check what the apps are like for it'.

And after some searching for specific productivity apps, I'm less keen.

Can anyone recommend an Android app (similar to the iOS Pear Note) that takes a recording of a meeting, and allows you to make notes that are timestamped in the recording?

Apart from the screen size will it be much more powerful than a HTC One X or Galaxy 3. I'm not a computer geek sorry, will I now be banished?

Nope.

I'm happy with my RaspberryPi
