supposedly this infringes on Nokia patents and may also be infringing on Microsoft patents (licensing agreements aren't clear if the nexus 7 is included) and of course Apple
so get them while you can i guess? http://www.fosspatents.com/2012/06/g...pparently.html | |

^Which is the same thing for every android device out there. I'm not too worried. Then again I'm not really in the market for one.

Storage is seriously lacking on this thing. i have a Transformer Prime with 48GB total and it's always full. 720p videos are huge.
Cloud storage is not a solution when I'm out tethering using 3G and pulling horrendous down speeds in Vancouver. I have an agonizing time just trying to browse simple websites. 3G data doesn't even work at all in Metrotown. oh FYI: after system files, the 8GB Nexus 7 will only have 5.92GB of free space. | |

But for 200 cant really complain. For me, the 5.9GB left over is more than enough. Wont be using it for video. I have everything I need on my galaxy nexus, and rarely use more than 2GB.

It has USB ports you cant say storage is out of the question... thumb drives are cheap...

you guys will be surprised how much 16GB actually is if you actually delete shit when you're done with them. Yes, it'd be nice if it had more storage, but at a entry level price point, you can't have it all.
Unless you're going weeks without access to a computer (i.e. vacation where there aren't computers), then 16GB should be enough for most situations. If you have access to a computer, bring a USB HDD with you so you can load new content onto it after you're done.
I agree, it's not as convenient as having virtually unlimited storage, but IMO, not a deal breaker. There are ways around it, if you're willing to put in a little extra effort.
But yes...8GB will be tough to manage if you plan to watch movies on it. If you want to watch movies, then you'll have to step up to the 16GB.

I think 16GB is more than enough.. heck, even the 8GB is plenty IMO if done correctly.
Google is going after cloud. You don't load anything heavy like your movies, pics and music. They are all streamed to your device through Google storages.
And from the look of it, I'm not surprised if future apps only contain the absolute framework that need to be stored locally (maybe a few hundred KB) while all the rest of data is streamed to you as well.
Definitely a less-is-more approach.

Definitely a less-is-more approach. | This would be fine. Provided data was cheap, stable, and fast. Not to mention if you tether you'd also be draining your phone. 16gb is definitely manageable as I'm fine with it on my Nexus. Another reason is Google basically wants you to use/pay for their services ie movies. I'm ok with that since they do need to make some $$ back for this device.

Where would I be able to order an 8gb online right now other than the play store? In the states preferably.
