I don't believe so. You have to buy one that supports it.

Here's a hardware compatibility list on XDA: External Storage Device Compatibility Review - xda-developers

There's a guy selling them on CL for $15 lol what a rip but I might have no choice. Going to see if his is compatible.

Ya, sorry... I meant the weather widget. I've been using The Weather Network on my SGS, but it sucks on a tablet. :lol

terkan 07-16-2012 10:04 PM

weather network is so ugly imo

I pre ordered a 8gig on the 29th, shipped today. The ups tracking number says delivery on tuesday the 22nd.. Google play said 2 day shipping when you pay.

BrRsn 07-17-2012 08:10 PM

holy eff ... Probably won't see it for another 2 weeks then :okay:

ForbiddenX 07-17-2012 08:18 PM

I preordered right after they announced it at I/O and even though I have one now I'm kind of dissapointed at how Google handled their pre orders.

Just got this email:

I think the 2 day shipping probably applies only to US residents...even though I got it from the Canadian site. Now I'm wondering if I'll have to pay duties when it arrives next week.

I had a look on the Staples site this morning and it said the 16gb is ready for next day delivery.

Yeah let me know how much you end up paying in total for the 8GB. I tempted to get one.

Ended up paying 254 canadian. After tax and shipping. Hopefully wont end up paying duty, as it is shipping from the US. Almost better to buy 16 gig localy if you can find one.

I just sold my preorder. It was needsd

R5x 07-18-2012 04:44 PM

If people are still looking around for them locally, I bought my 16gig one at the Futureshop on Broadway and Burrard on Monday. On Sunday I dropped by and the moron there never even heard of a Nexus tablet. On Monday, 9 of them came in and I grabbed one (4 were sold while I was there at 4pm). By 7pm, my friend got the last one there.

In their system, the Coquitlam location had 9 as well and my friend said they would not sell to him on Monday because they're not allowed to yet. Not sure when/if they started selling them but they seemed to have lots a few days ago.

raysquared 07-18-2012 09:22 PM

Picked mine up at London Drugs in Lougheed Mall. Guy said he orders 2 a day so just call ahead and put one on hold!

domco 07-18-2012 09:24 PM

Getting mine tomorrow! Preordered from FS on the the 13th and got my tracking # today.

For the 8 gig? that's not too long of a wait :fullofwin:

Did you guys get charged once they shipped it or once they confirmed your preorder?

Its a 16gb. All retailers only carry the 16gb.

Anybody try the app Tablet Talk with their phone + Nexus 7?
I find it works extremely well for forwarding texts from your phone to tablet.

trying out tablet mode again
certain things are incompatible, so might go back to standard 213 dpi

Lomac 07-22-2012 10:27 PM

Not liking the fact that there's nothing out there than can run MKV files with DTS audio. :(

PornMaster 07-22-2012 11:55 PM

They can play mkv files you just have to rename the extension to like .abc

and rename on the tablet

play with mxplayer DONE
