Nexus 7

I just faffed about with it to see what it did - opens same web page I had on my HTC One X in the Nexus 7 browser if you tap the backs together etc. Fun but of little practical use at the moment!

If only I'd waited another month...

Me too but then again I have no complaints over the 16Gb version and I doubt I'll run out of space anytime soon

I still don't get (and I know I'm far from alone) why Google doesn't like SD cards in any of the Nexus devices since the Nexus One. I'd have a Nexus 4 on order by now if not for their bizarre notion that people who use smart phones and tablets as part of their daily lives would consider an SD card to be too confusing.

Not that I've got close to filling the 16gb Nexus and cloud storage has its place, but I'd be much happier with the option to store data on an SD card rather than having to bodge a link to an external drive.

Here's the answer from the head of Google. As someone who grew up writing games on a 16K Spectrum I kind of agree with him. I've got a 32Gb phone and a 16Gb Nexus 7, not to mention the xxxxGb of online storage I have has my usage of information really changed that much since I was 20?

It's a scary world to me and one in which it's all too easy to write a sloppy program. Anyone else remember Poke and Peek in assembly language for handling 8 bit words? In 16K? You had to be efficient.

Sorry Norm, just a mini rant....

Well, Mathias Duarte, head of Android Experience or something like that, said that he thought users found them too confusing, according to an article on the Cult of Android blog a few days ago.

I'm not sure if this will work but...

Poke and Peek were Basic language commands.

I had to write basic code to semi compile hex code with easily adjustable branching.
It just happened that available assemblers were quite useless.

You're right, it's been a while. POP and PUSH were the commands I was thinking of.
