It complicates the circuit board and introduces another hole in the case.</p>

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;">I suppose I could ask how much memory is needed to store a movie and how many people store several movies on their tablets.</p>

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;">I don't regard the lack of SD a killer. I might buy this tablet.</p>

I am sure Apple does the same thing for similar reasons. <br /><br />As for the reviews, it looks pretty good. The Verge has a great review and is very informed. The conclusion states that at the price point the Nexus 7 is the best tablet purchase. It buries the Kindle Fire and the Nook Tablet. The screen is great with wide viewing angles. The biggest complaint is the lack of breadth of entertainment available in the Google Play store.<br /><br />Dan<br /><br /></p>
