Android phones, apps and tablets

Anyone else preorderd a nexus 7?

At that price they seem like a no brainier to me.

Not yet, going to wait for the 16GB one. Apparently PCWorld will be selling them next week. So I wanted to test a few things out before buying.

think that 7" Nexus tablet could become the one tablet to rule all - particularly if they wise up and stick SD storage on the next revision

Yeah that is one of the annoyances is the missing SD slot. The Nexus 7 supports USB host mode, meaning you can plug in joypads, keyboards and mice etc. I have a 3G stick which has a microSD card on it. Apparently it should work with Android. Having a dongle hanging off a tab might look a little shit, but it will at least. Give me those 2 missing features, hopefully. If it doesn't then Dropbox and Phone tethering it is then.

Speaking of phones I upgraded my Ray to ICS a few weeks back. The little improvements are obvious in the UI. Seems a little whizzier. Using Chrome as my browser, which I really like. The new notification screen is ace.
