The Nexus 7 has USB On The Go support, so with an adapter you can connect external storage.<br><br>However, I have discussed the missing SD slot with colleagues and I believe the reason is that Google can guarantee a certain level of performance from local flash whereas loading apps and media from low quality external storage will cause delays that would compromise the user experience. 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>
