I can see Amazon lowering the price of the Fire or putting up on what of its deal of the day things a few times

The lack of expandable storage is gonna hurt it. Sure there's the cloud but having to tether to get at it will suck.

Lack of camera doesn't bother me, it's silly when you see people using ipads/tablets. | You don't think it seems silly that a tablet would need to rely on another device to get it's media?

Lack of camera doesn't bother me, it's silly when you see people using ipads/tablets. | That's exactly what I want to do when I get one. I tried to use Google Music's site on a PlayBook. The songs played fine but the site was laggy and unresponsive. A cheap 7" tablet that will have a decent amount of ROMs is exactly what I want. Want to combo this with an S3 because of the smaller size if I'm carrying two devices, but I'm still loving my Note.

To the people who complain about expandable storage, when was the last time you expanded your storage? I went from 4gb to 8gb once, and that's more than enough for me. Not even half full (but 4gb wasn't enough) and even if it was, some minor file management is all I'd need to do...
I'm just curious what other people's situations are like. I know I run into storage problems on my 16gb iPad all the time, so maybe tablets are different

I store a lot more things on my tablet such as movies and tv episodes. Coupled with an offline gps app, some thd games and other things 8/16gb tends to get eaten up quickly. My phone on the other hand I have no problem with 16gb. Tethering to the cloud just isn't viable/data costs and stability. You now also have to run down the battery of both devices during tethering. Of course this assumes you're using the tablet away from a wifi source.
I'd gladly pay an additional amount to get expandable storage or more onboard storage. $50 more for additional 8gb is a joke.

If your going to be storing files and stuff, you should be looking for USB support for external drives, not some SD card... if transfering files, you have wireless or cloud storage.
