I was looking for tablet below rm1k and ainol was under that category. Not really good but affordable

Just to be clear, for people who don't know. You can still tether you computer and transfer files or sync via USB. You just can't mount USB thumbrives or ext-HDDs. Not much different from the Moto Xoom in that respect.


Sadly, this is true. I live in Singapore where I get a 100mbps up 50mbps down connection for $SG50 (approx RM120). The 4mbps Streamyx connection in my mom's house in Johor is already more expensive than that. Even cheapest Unifi is more expensive and only gives 5mbps. Plus they have a 60GB limit (though I think it's not implemented yet). Sad state of affairs indeed

For mobile use, I plan to tether the Nex7 to my mobile phone (wifi-hotspot mode). For now I'm stuck with 3.5G, but might upgrade to LTE in a few months (we just got LTE in Singapore, I think Malaysia getting end of this year, but probably KL only first), so speeds should improve. There's still a download limit for all mobile plans, unfortunately.

then why would the manufacture warn you to backup when doing update

coz they cant guaranted wether your data will be corrupted anot.

They warn you like all other dev, just to make sure rather than you blame them if you are stupid enough not following steps.
I have no problem with my Nexus from the day I acquired it. If you know what you are doing, then it is safe to say your data is safe.

i wont risk my important data on the onboard storage...especially sensitive data....its easy gone if you got a firmware corruption or you sent to rma

i worked in some industry.....i know how risky to store in onboard storage.

some might not agree with me......until your information leaked then dont blame lolz...

just like edison case

That depends on personal preferences, as you have your own perspective from the beginning, there is no point discussing more about this issue.

The point Google don't want to add extra SD slot is to minimize problem and I'll fully support this as I've own a phone with SD card and also Nexus which don't. In the end I prefer Nexus which gives less hassle dealing with the card.

But you'll risk storing sensitive data on an SD card? This doesn't make sense. Flash memory has been known to be unreliable, whether on board of external. You're risking data either way. I've seen phones lose all info onboard just as often as I've seen phones wipe their SD card.

About info "leaks". You're using a Google service!! Your info is already out in the open, my friend. They already know almost everything about you, so they can obviously apply high level math and behavioural prediction to determine that you've got that list of porn stored in your "secure" SD card anyway.

adding a micro sd support will hav alot of problem?

as u said...add a micro sd slot will hav more problem to deal with?

Yes, go read out why Google opt out the sd slot somewhere.

lets take it simple.

in your case....im pretty sure its user problem

haha if secret data is so damm precious,,,might s well just transfer them from nexus tablet 2 your pc n then transfer them 2 portable hard disk...problem solved

hmmm..i wonder what kind of extremely sensitive data that people will store in tab, if u are really know IT... unless u use it to take some private photo or store company / personal important details that cost your life or millions dollar...

My music alone already 6GB++ Now on Galaxy Nexus, after installed some apps and gps etc, left 3.7GB. I think is ok. Got some HD MV.

Erm... Maxis FTTH gives you mobility? I don't think so. With Malaysia 3G connection quality, it's really not that viable. Not to mention the quotas implemented. And not to mention if you're using DiGi. Even full bar signal still lag

The point here is... At home, do I still need those cloud storage when I can access my laptop and even play through dedicated sound system? Or stream on Nexus/Any android devices from laptop. I would not resort to cloud storage for storing media files. It's seriously not a better alternative to me. I am using them for documents, of course not those top secret documents. Just some university projects/assignments backup
Anyway, 16GB is enough for me without storing movies. At least that's the case now on my GNex. Maybe use OTG if wanted to watch movie

pity you, who asking use mobile at home? set rules auto backup phone to cloud when charging & wifi. lazy to wired.
using wifi other than home, problem?

Wifi other than home normally lag like shit This is Malaysia

strongly agreed on certain public free wifi

Conclusion is...
Cloud storage is not viable in Malaysia

partially correct you cannot conclude 100% not at all but the most possible is say majority to be exact.
anyway, if looking for playing media mobilely, pendrive is your friend if the tablet/smaphone is lack of sd card support & support OTG funciton. alternatively, I still happy with cloud right now & I'm in Malaysia

add another condition: only if you have unifi or anything of similar/better speed

Based on my usage on GNex, I still got pretty healthy 3.7GB. Didn't really play those crazy games that require 1GB+- external data. Max also like 300~500MB. That means I still can install 5~7Games like that. And there's no rear camera. Means no need huge storage if I need to record Full HD video(I got Gnex to do that anyway). If want watch movie then OTG-> Pendrive should be the best. Else 3.7GB still can let install bunch of Angry Birds-alike game (in terms of size). Oh... I'm referring to 16GB version

Wait 6~8months only will buy. Hope at that time 8GB is non-existent and 16GB price drop like Gnex now. Seriously, 8GB is way too small considering that user accessible is only 5.7GB IINM. 16GB gives user 13.3GB which is pretty enough.
