[clue] Google Nexus tablet

[Christopher Cross]

ROMs are not normally vary large. I think the one I use on my phone is
about 140 MB at most and you can use adb to push/pull files from an android
device while in recovery mode. My phone also does not have an SD slot but
the file system is partitioned so that there is a system section and a data
section. The data section on my phone is actually mounted under
/mnt/sdcard. I have not had any problems flashing anything to my phone.
