Earlier this year with some reluctance I bought a Motorola XOOM (wifi only) directly from Motorola. The price had come down to $399 and they threw in a speaker docking station and gel pad. But it was still over priced in my opinion since it was a year old now.</div><div><br></div><div>I bought this particular XOOM because it's the one mentioned on Google's developer page. I wanted to test a little Android I app I wrote. The app tested out OK. But I wish I had sent the XOOM back to Motorola for a refund :)</div><div><br></div><div>What size is this new Nexus 7 tablet? I wish I had waited to get one of these. My XOOM runs ICS (Android 4.0.4). My Galaxy Nexus phone got the 4.1.1 update a few days ago. I have no idea if my XOOM
will get updated to Jelly Bean when that comes out.</div><div><br></div><div>I guess I should google Google for the Google Nexus 7 :) I would like to know if they put any I/O ports like micro usb or memory card slots - dang a card reader even. I think that is something that's missing from these tablets. Not everything has wireless connectivity. Take my camera for example. I would love to be able to look at my photos right on the spot when I am out shooting pictures. My camera has a tiny little screen but the bigger screen on the tablet would give a lot better idea if I got a good shot.</div><div><br></div><div>Anyway, I don't have much use for my XOOM now. Before the Nexus 7 was in the works I got a great deal on an iPad 2 which I just had to have to run "Stuck on Earth" - I'm a Trey Ratcliff fan. The iPad 2 is an all around superior device compared to the XOOM. I wonder how it compares to the Nexus 7.</div><div><br></div><div>All in all I have my
doubts about tablets since they definitely are not a substitute for a laptop.</div><div><br></div><div>Vincent Randal</div><div><br></div> <div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 12pt; "> <div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 12pt; "> <div dir="ltr"> <font size="2" face="Arial"> <hr size="1"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">From:</span></b> "dennisjperkins@comcast.net" <dennisjperkins@comcast.net><br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> CLUE's mailing list <clue@cluedenver.org> <br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Friday, July 20, 2012 9:27 AM<br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Subject:</span></b> Re: [clue] Google Nexus tablet<br> </font> </div> <br>
