Yea its a bit pricey but just imagine a 96gb tablet or even a 128gb tablet.

It makes since. I mean if you look at it; laptops and desktops can hold more space then tablets right not, so the logical thing for them to do would be to make sd cards that can hold more.
Bigger on the inside...

This will not work with your xoom or most devices out right now for that matter. It requires a SDXC slot to read the card (xoom and most devices have SD slot) and the card is not backward compatible. So dont rush just yet.

Aww, you kinda rained on my party lol, but you did probably save me as well as many other people a bit of money

If you are _VERY_ lucky a firmware update could enable or does someone know it needs new hardware?

Good call! Thanks for sharing. It would've been pretty crappy to find this out the hard way.

The Xoom uses the SDHC standard and will never support SDXC. No, a firmware update will not change this fact.

Well, we always have the USB OTG cable option if we use up both the internal and external 32GB memory. The price of the card is just to high now anyway.

Ya know they could have put a bay in for hdd. That would solve the problem.

I can buy 4 32GB cards for that price.

Yes, these cards work in Android devices after formatting them from exFat to Fat32:

remember laptops/desktops have a lot more capacity as u say BUT (and a big but) check apps size of android vs PC/Laptops - i'd say 32GB are like 320GB on a PC - mind u i have 5 *2TB in my Gigabyte 3d Aurora tower ^___^

SD card support hinges on Google. Honeycomb doesn't support external storage yet. This is a Google issue, not a Motorola issue.
That is what I have heard...
And you don't think Google and Motorola have discussed this? Come on now, someone knows the answer. My concern is Honeycomb starts to support SD, then the Xoom does not (I do not care why), we are left with a lame duck holding our junk and crying about an 800$ loss.
I'm sure that Toshiba would also be pretty upset if Google decides not to support external storage. They're including an SD card slot in their tablet as well. I'm not sure about all of the others, but there are two manufacturers counting on SD card support.

Well, then don't be concerned: there's absolutely no reason why Honeycomb would support SD and the Xoom wouldn't. Zero. Zilch. Nada.
The Xoom is being treated as a google expeirance device which puts in the same league of updates as the G1, the Nexus 1, the OG Droid, and the Nexus S. It will get it so stop worrying. This is also the reason for the unlocked boot loader. Now as for when thats a whole other story but the more devices that ship with Honeycomb the better because that will put pressure on google to get the update out.
this might be odd, but what the heck makes it so hard to have SD support in the first place, you would think that this would be one the main functions of the software. I mean, its not like SD cards are new, and not like a million other devices that are running android (not 3.0 but older versions) have SD support. i mean, this confuses me in the first place.

I think the problem isn't that honeycomb doesn't support sdcards so much a it doesn't support two. The internal memory is being seen as an sdcard.

I'm not sure about the Captivate, but on the Xoom the /data and /sdcard mount points both point to the same logical partition on the internal storage. In most phones, /data has its own partition on the internal storage, and /sdcard is mounted from your sd card slot.
well.. not to argue the point, witch is completely valid, I still do not understand why that was not something that could have been added at the get go.
it just seems simple, as it would require a driver, an just a point in the script to mount it.
Flash, I can see why the issue, new hardware and stuff.
anyways, cant wait to get some SD action, would love to toss some movies on this thing!. (err.. more movies)
the comments on the sd card slot being activated with the 4g is all bs right? Cause I'm getting the wifi one and obviously I'm not sending it in for 4g.
It's a software (honeycomb) thing. It will be enabled with an update. which im sure will be OTA or at least available on XDA

Yeah, I'm almost 100% sure they pulled that out of their ass, and was confusing the LTE SIM card slot (which is usuaily ultimately attached to a serial port, no special hardware required) with the SD Card slot.
They were probably just hoping it would all get worked out around the same time as the 4G updates.
This is on the Wifi Model listing:
Memory expansion via microSD card slot with support for optional cards up to 32 GB (functionality requires future software upgrade)
Well, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 won't have SD card. Might be reason why

Do you really think Google created a brand new Android OS that should be around for years to come that will not support SD cards? And on top of that, do you think Motorola working with Google would put an SD slot in the xoom and never activate it?
Really, come on...
Source is available, if for some dumb reason Google doesn't want to support an SD card, motorola can do it themselves.

why my SD card can't work?

I recently bought a xoom, the system is already 3.1, but when I inserted the 16GB SD card to the Xoom, it does not recognize. I can not find SD card files on my Xoom, why?

I think you need to do some reading about your tablet here before you do anything beyond checking your email and playing some Angry Birds....but lets cut to the chase, shall we?
For the SD card to work you are going to need to UNLOCK, ROOT and install a custom KERNEL on your Xoom. The Sd card will not work right out of the box, not even in 3.1.
Now search in this forum for the three words in bold, you should find more than enough information to set you right.
Just remember that if you Unlock you loose everything on the xoom. I wipes the internal storage.
I think by the time MOTO gives us the needed update for the SD card to work, a 32GB card will cost $1.32 and we will all be in a nursing home!

Don't know what you are complaining about. This is a unique feature that only the Motorola XOOM has. It's an SD card holder, built directly into your XOOM, that allows you to carry one extra SD card along with you for use in your ACER Iconia tablet.

Samsung Doubles Speed of MicroSD Card for Smartphones

Im interesting in seeing the real world results of these new microSD cards, might just be out in time for me to buy one for my Epic.
Here's the link to the article.
That's actually pretty interesting. I might have to pick one up after they become commercially available. My 16gb class 10 is great, but a 32gb class 10 sounds WAY sexier haha

Our phones can go up to 32gb.
I really don't see what's new here. Class 10 microSDs (even 32GB ones) have been out for a while. I bought a 16GB one for my Epic near the end of last year.
Does anyone know what the hardware limitations of our phone's MicroSD slot is? Will we even get appreciable benefits from this?
Edit: I just ran a test on the stock 16GB card that comes with the phone and for 21.4MB/s read and 10.6MB/s write speed. Anyone tested different classes?
I was under the impression (probably wrongly but can find nothing on it) that the only reason 32GB is the largest supported size is simply because nothing exists larger than that right now. Is it probable that Android can support an unlimited size micro-card?
Not only has class 10 been out for awhile, but their "doubling of speed" claim is based on the minimum specs for class 4. Most good quality class 4 cards already exceeded this.
I was hoping they'd changed the code on the in-phone reader to allow for better throughput as its clearly worse than my dedicated SD reader.

Nope, 32GB is the largest that the SDHC addressing structure can handle. That's why they came out with SDXC.
SDXC cards can theoretically go to 2048GB.

[UPDATE: ROOTED] Hopefully spread some Thrive love

How many evo owners [myself not included] own a Thrive Tablet? It plays nicely with my Evo, and hopefuly if there is enough support, hopefully we can get a subforum for it here on XDA along with getting it rooted. Now I know it just came out, so I wasn't expecting anything, but here's hoping this being the path to get soething.

Really? Havent heard that one yet but i really think i might settle for the 16gb xoom.
I REALLY LIKE THE THRIVE> chose it over the galaxy tab 10.1 cuz of the orts. It has the following FULL standard sized ports: HDMI, sd card [use adapter if using micro sd], and a USB port. standard 3mm headphone jack. Not going to lie, I have only had the sleep bug once, and had to hard reset it [hold power button]. But I love it. Its not that heavy [only @.3lbs heavier than galaxy tab], though a bit thicker [due tot he full ports] I really like the toshiba file manager, where you can see the internal, sd card, and usb memory all at once, the just tap between them to copy/move files. Also the removeable baery and cover also make it worth while.

Good look. Also, I'm on my thrive right now. I personally got the 32gb version. Only cuz I want the max storage availble. The hardware is the same across all version, so its not like the 32 has something over the 16, and it over the 8. So you could get the 8gb, get a 32gb sd card, then have 40gb of space...or use an external hard drve either way...its win-win-win.

[Q] Actual space on the Nexus 7?

I was wonder, the OS takes up space, but how much space? I pre ordered the 8 gig but if the OS takes more than a gig or so, I think I'm going to upgrade to the 16 gigs.
What do you guys think or if one of you have it, how much actual space doe sit have?
I searched for it and could not find anything.
Thank You In Advanced.
I think they said in some article that with the 8gb one, with the preloaded magazines and some apps, they had about 5.6gb left over. Hope this helps.

But if you think about it, everyone who got one at I/O has an 8gb version. Nobody actually owns a 16gb version yet. I know it probably isn't possible, but it would be cool if they added a little more hardware to the 16gb version to help justify the $50 price jump. Either way, it's the one I'm buying.

Monkeyluis,
How long is the battery life on your Wi-Drive? How many unique devices can it serve simultaneously?
The Wi-Drive came out (I think) after I bought a Seagate Satellite, or I might have bought the Wi-Drive instead. The pros of the Satellite is that it holds 500gb and can serve unique content simultaneously to about 5 users before it bogs down (with hacked firmware). The cons are that it's a lot bigger than the Wi-Drive appears to be and it's battery is only good for about 5 hours or so. With the lower price of the Wi-Drive, it looks really good -- particularly if it has something approaching 10 hours of battery life.

If you're streaming movies yes I think it could last 8-10 hrs. I have not used it for that long at once though. You can have up to 3 unique devices at once. The wi-drive is pretty small, light & thin. Easy to slip into a pocket or extra pocket in a bag.

The reason why they did not add a SD card slot, at least to my belief, because it would make the tablet slower. It takes more processing power to go through the SD and what not then the local HD. That's why I think iPhones and what not are less laggy because it maximizes it's processors for its dedicated hard drive and it does not have to sift through the others which makes it a bit faster.

Within wifi range yes.

But wouldn't it be better if they just put a micro sd slot on the bloody thing? 8gb is a joke, but an extra £40 / £50 for another 8gb is an insult!
I was interested / excited but I think I'll give this one a miss.

Of course. I'm just providing a solution for those that want the extra space.
