So, I find myself running out of room for apps...blah blah blah. Can we buy the exact same hard drive used in the nexus 7 but a bigger capacity? then install it...then reinstall the entire OS? seems possible right? or not?
I have no idea I just figured I would ask
To start, the Nexus 7 does not have a hard drive. Just a surface mount SD chip, which is not replaceable.
actually it is technically replaceable but you would have to replace a good 80% of the device with it, so there is almost no point. you might as well buy a 16 Gb if you have an 8 Gb now, and sell the old one
Good question / good answer.
Workaround I use is case that can hold my tiny USB. My device is basically a 32 gig unit now.

Thanks for the answers guys...after doing a little digging, I realized that this isn't really a realistic procedure to do...I just figured I'll update you on what I found out.
The 8GB Nexus 7 uses the Kingston KE44B-26BN/8GB memory chip, while the 16GB Nexus 7 uses the Kingston KE4BT4B6A memory chip. Kingston make chips of the same 32nm types that come in 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB capacities. The dimensions of the 4GB-16GB chips are 12 x 16 x 1.2. While the 32GB chips are 14 x 18 x 1.4. So it appears that the 32GB chips would be much too big to fit anyway.
However, the 16GB chips only cost around $27...but no place has them in stock. I posted this on ifixit and will report back if they say anything.

This little card reader is amazing. Its so tiny it gets lost on my key chain. I have used it many times and it works flawlessly up or down loading data from any PC that has a USB port to my HTC 8925. Very handy to have.
I rarely rave about products but for around $7.00 this little gem is a no brainier.

The sandisk 8GB card I bought last year came with a card reader and it is smaller than that one. Can be bought seperately for around the same price.

I bought a set with a microSD and the same reader as the OP a couple of months ago. Love it, and it's the fastest one I've seen so far.

I'd say maybe mine is slightly longer if anything but different shape so hard to tell. They are BOTH small!
Keys.....
No words but see this.....

Take care when using the reader as a holder for transporting/backing up. Have lost (then found) a card.
OK I've copied the key. Now, where's the lock? : )

Dun dun duh!
Now you just need to work out which one is my front door key or copy them all and also find my home address and then I'll be worried. Oh and get past my rather large stranger hating dog.
Anyway there is a technique which is widely available and allows you to defeat most yale type locks anyway so why do you even need a key?
If anyone is interested, you can get an 8GB card AND the card reader from Newegg for $18.99:

Hello,
the german company Neofonie is selling the first Android Tablet Computer very soon.
It's called WePad and kinda reminds me of the iPad.
But wait, the WePad is much better!

Not sure where to post this. Move if needed
According to Heise (http://www.heise.de/mobil/meldung/Tablet-Computer-mit-Infrastruktur-fuer-Verlage-961008.html - german!) it's not an Android tablet, but can run android apps via a wrapper.
I'd rather wait for ICD's Nvidia Tegra2 based Vega tablet...
http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/icds-tegra-tablet-officially-dubbed-the-vega-headed-to-t-mobil/
I'll have a look at it, thanks for the link
it's so Beautiful!~
There is also this, Enso Zenpad, Its a 5" resistive touch, android 1.6, samsung 667mhz, 256mb ram, 1gb inbuilt, up to 32gb microSD (8gb Included)..
Looks like a nice little device, and its only $150! (£102)

Uhh, but we're talking about Tablet PC's. </sarcasm>
Notion Ink Adam, all the way. Noone will be able to beat this one when it comes to the display...
looks small (next to the pics of WePad and T-Mobile Vega / Tegra)
http://www.technoholik.com/news/exclusive-a-sneak-peek-at-the-notion-ink-adam-tablet-specs-pics/
And the display really rocks... I have an OLPC, which has a similiar display. I wish I could get that screen for my thinkpad.
HI does anyone have a 4G Galaxy Tab 10.1 (slim) YET?
If yes can you confirm that there IS an microSD card slot?
If noone has one yet can anyone confirm whether they KNOW for certain if there is or isn't going to be microSD?
Everything i read has conflicting reports on whether there will be a microSD card slot - in my mind if there isn't then it's a XOOM for me instead.
Thanks in advance!
i saw this in one of the other threads HERE

That looks like it means yes it does have a microSD card slot - however it looks like its the wifi version it's talking about....(edit) oops didn't see the HSPA+ - so yes it is the 4G model sweeeeeeeeeeeet
I am annoyed that they have put a proprietary PDMI to USB interface - but if it also lacked a microSD slot then it would be a deal breaker.
According to the specs on the Verizon version of the 4G 10.1 it doesn't list microSD - so it's really freaking confusing - do I wait for this and it doesn't have microSD or go buy the Xoom which has that plus hdmi out, but is bigger and heavier.
http://shop.verizonwireless.com/?id=Samsung Galaxy Tab 10
Tab above is 3G not 4G
I also noticed the Verizon page doesn't mention it, and I wasn't expecting that.
This is becoming SOOO frustrating, because we know they do have the capability to put it there, they just mix and match specs for different markets.
It will be a big let down if the Verizon one doesn't Micro SD!
4G

You are correct there - so we have a 3G version with microSD being sold in Poland.... odd
Sigh I guess I will just have to wait a while until it officially comes out at the end of the month or next month so people who have bought the device can confirm whether it comes with microSD or not...
So more and more rumours are popping up, saying that HTC is working on a device to challenge the Note. How could they not actually, the Note is a big succes and at the moment there is pretty much no real competition for it out there.
According to the rumours, first starting with a popup in benchmark results, the device is called the 6435LVW.
It is said to be running a Snapdragon S4 dualcore, but recently the rumours about quadcores are appearing. Seeing as pretty much all top devices are now moving towards quadcores, I'm inclined to believe the quadcore rumour.
According to the benchmark scores it's hooked up to 1.5 gb of memory and it should have 16 gigs of internal storage. It seems that this is not expandable with an SD card.
And then for the most interesting part for most: The screen, according to benchmarks, is a 5 inch 1080p screen. Putting the PPI significantly above that of the iPhone.
Anyways, this is known, and as a user of the OG Note, which is the best phone I've ever had, I'm quite curous to see HTC's take on a phablet. Especially since I don't get particularly warm for the Note 2.
What do you think, is it a good idea for HTC to enter this market? Is it something you would be interested in?
Lets not forget the blurrycams:

I'm not sure I could step down in size, that's too close to an S3 for me. More importantly to me, no sd card slot? Total fail if that's the case, I well not buy anything which doesn't have expansion.
What has this got to do with N7000 development?
wrong section ah.
:victory:
unless you can compare the specs with our Note. Otherwise, we are all here because of our N7000 gadgets. Not just the rumors.
:fingers-crossed:
really hope this gets a UK release, will buy one for sure
I get why HTC are making devices with Non Removable SD cards and batteries ( Like my One S), Its so they can be 'different' and make devices slimmer.
What I dont get is why they remove the expandable memory but only leave the user with 16gb Internal memory (of which 5-6gb is consumed by ROM + Apps etc) which turns out to be around 10gb.
If you're gonna remove battery and expandable memory, Give us a whopping powerful battery (so we dont need to buy extended ones) and some mega internal memory ! (something like 64gb, with USB OTG support). Retards at Apple have been creating 64gb iPhones for quite some time, So its not rocket science!
I dont think any one is going to make something as popular as the Note series, Samsung smashed it with this device and has created a massive fan base, I for one cant imagine ever switching to something else now.
I was wondering, is it possible to swap some parts from a 16GB to an 8GB, to increase memory.
Reason:
Was Considering selling my 32GB and getting a 16GB with broken screen, and a refurbished 8GB, and swapping screens over, as it's just as cheap to buy the 8GB as it is to buy the glass/LCD/digitizer. Then I was thinking, why not make the 16GB the refurbished one, by swapping over the memories only?
TL;DR, is it possible to swap the memories over, from 8GB to 16GB?

Seems like an awful lot of hassle if you already have a 32GB model?
Not sure about swapping the memory, but Im guessing it would be extremely difficult if not impossible. The below image is of the 8GB model, the nand (storage memory) is highlighted in red.

Long story, saving money.
Don't want to be judged, just want serious answers, is it possible?

Fair enough, not here to judge anyone and I am serious when I say its difficult. It may be possible to swap the the motherboards out rather than chips themselves. It may be worth pm'ing somone in the motherboard swap thread below to see if they were successful.

Yeah, thanks. That's more the answer I was looking for. I'll look into it more now I specifically what I need to do.
I'll post results and steps if I'm successful.
just swap out the motherboard
