amazon with their private marketplace and semi-forked os is damaging google sales.

this tablet its intended as a replacement for the kindle fire - if you were intrested in buying a kindle fire this is better in any possible way and cost the same.

if you wanted to buy a more generic tablet, this is expressly built so the other units remain actractive even if they cost more as google dont want to cannibalize its partners sales.

basically its a "**** you, amazon" gift from google.

Hear hear , I say, class 10 32gb Samsung micro sdhc is safe if I drop my phone in a toilet, if It gets to close to a high power magnet, its er....... I can't remember but the packaging made it out to be pretty much indestructible, and memory cards break on me all the time, all types and prices , and I gotta say its been awesome never a problem, so no micro sd, is a real let down, and I think I'm gonna swing towards the s3 and keep the EVO, as the missus is happy with her iPhone

When will these manufactures learn that expandable memory is a must? We don't always have access to WiFi to use the cloud. This greatly limits when and where we can use their products. Why do they seem hell bent on pushing the cloud on us. Yes its nice to have online storage but when your not near WiFi it makes it useless.

another thing is some apps and games take up alot of space... i was gonna download modern combat 3 on my touchpad, and it says you need over a GB of free space! eek!!! i didint even bother, because when I downloaded backstab, I had to delete all kinds of stuff

the kindle fire didnt have a sd card and selt like hotcakes - this device is targeted to the same guys that bought the kindle so no, expandable memory its not a must for this specific target.

there will be other devices with more options for everybody else, you dont expect a ultra-cheapo city car to have all the options of a top-of-the-line coupe.

Yep that's what made me stop dead in my tracks too, "no card slot", other than that it's powerful and well designed.
[HTC EVO 3D] Jenich:
Well its great for them to have an apple-like illusion of variety of products since they actually have one. :) i am really sick of samsung and htc learning this bad habit from apple, but it is definetely the best for their profits. Anyway I have recently bought ipad 2 (i am a musician and garageband on the go just sounded too good) with 16 gigs and it's quite enough i guess. Got my music and photos on evo and ipad carries just garageband data and games ( since its camera sux real bad ). One thing against nexus is the usb host. Ipad supports it via camera connection kit and i was quite surprised that sdcards work, usb stick works....hell...even external audio devices like a/d converters works :) since I am jailbroken (couldnt live on ios without that) I can transfer all kinds of data using regular file explorer, so i can live with 16gigs easily.
[HTC EVO 3D] Robert542:
You are right the kindle fire did sell like hot cakes BUT ask anyone who owns a kindle, what is one of the kindles downfalls and they will tell you no expandable memory. To only target the people that bought a kindle fire would be kinda stupid on Google's part. I was thinking of getting a nexus 7 until I found out that it didn't have expandable memory. This in my mind is a deal breaker.
[HTC EVO 3D] bdkinney:
I was set to buy one of these also...until I saw it had no SD slot. I ended up buying a 8 gig Refurbished A500 from Acer's Ebay store for $170. Absolutely the best thing that could have happened...threw on a custom ROM, 64 gig SD card, swapped internal and external storage...and I'm VERY happy. All for the price of a Nexus 7. Just a touch of Tegra 3 envy but honestly the Tegra 2 at 1.2ghz sill does everything I ask of it really well.

App sizes are exploding with more function and higher quality...especially in games and 8 gigs (actually about 5 and a half) just isn't enough.

I guess all this was a long winded way of saying there are other good alternatives out there I think the big G made a big mistake when they didn't include an SD slot.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phat_11:
Well tried to preorder but got the unconfortable message stating that the device is not available in my country and that they are doing their "best" to make it possible as soon as they can. Which is I am guessing by the end of the year for 100 euros more in retail store. I'd really like to have the same price and treatment by buying directly from the play store but no official details on that either... That's complete bs. Why make such a global product so restricted for so many areas. my money ain't green enough I guess.

PS: apparently there are no official confirmations for a launch in Europe yet...

I'm so disapointed. Living in europe (switzerland, actually) I cant use any of the great google services. Music, Books, Movies...nothing is supported here...neither is the Nexus 7.

Google needs to learn from Apple it comes to country-support. It's frustrating as hell =/

that's obvious, they won't ship it to europe until there's full support of all google play services in europe. these devices (nexus 7 and nexus Q) doesnt make sense if you cant use google play properly.

My sd-ext partition is 1.5GB, it's properly formatted with 4ext and all partitions (data, apps, dalvik cache, cache) are on the sd-ext (moved with the script Mount2SD) with plenty of free space on the sd card and internal memory. The SD card is 16GB class 10 and was sold and shipped by Amazon.

After installing 60 or so apps (from Google Play), I can't install a launcher or larger apps - it fails with "insufficient storage available". I can however update some apps.

Using A2SD, AD2SDX or OxygenA2SD makes no difference.

Here's a log from aLogcat of the issue with a few irrelevant lines removed:

I might have tried data to sd-ext, but I can't find it anywhere. Someone said that the problem last time with AD2SDX was that the cache (not dalvik cache) was too small on the nand memory. Mount2SD is the only script I can find that moves the cache (not dalvik cache).

Open up a terminal or adb shell and type df, it should list used/available/free space for each partition on your device.
