Just got my nexus today.
This thing is fast
But I discovered that it lacks a micro SD slot.
I have tons of things on msd cards now.
So the debate is whether to switch to a tf700 which has decent resolution but at least the stock rom is ridiculously slow and laggy
Does anyone have any experience with both of these platforms?

Had both, kept the nexus 10. The tf 700 isn't even in the same league as it.
I uploaded all my music to Google play, if your concerned about the micro SD buy a $2 OTG cable from eBay and a $5 micro SD card reader from amazon (or one that does both) and install a ROM that supports OTG (most do).
I'm currently using my micro SD from my S3 this way.

Thanks I was wondering. If there was a way to use a card reader with this
Google probably wants people to use the "cloud"
But unless they want to roll out nationwide wifi that even works in the middle of nowhere and make da clowd unhackable, they really do most consumers a disservice by leaving off the sd card reader
Well regardless of my brief rant thanks again for mentioning the whole OTG thing

I have the 8GB Nexus 7 so the storage obviously suffers when storing games like real racing 2 at 1.5GB and I had an idea to use a USB OTG device coupled with a card reader for added storage however I'm not sure if this would work how I hope. I've heard that card readers work with the Nexus 7 so that's fine but I was wondering if it were possible to store app data, eg the 1.5GB data for real racing 2, on that SD card (with the app on the N7) and it still work, and if it does work, how do I go about it?

Anyone?

Search feature, use it (try USB-OTG).
Root and stickmount required for USB storage capability.
And someone's probably answered the app thing too.

Saw this and was curious if anyone had tried it? Doesn't give a very good description as to whether or not its a reader for the PC or straight to a phone lol anyway here's the link

It's sold on ebay for $8 including shipping. Search for 330779088560.
I was tempted to order one, until I saw that the maximum capacity is limited to 16GB.
Yeah but is it a reader directly to the phone? And even 16 gigs is better than nothing at the moment at least till they get the internal mount figured out lol

There are several same memory sticks of high capacity that would fit nicely jsut under the nexus and provide much needed extra memory. wonder if such a thing is available or indeed possible?
You can use an OTG USB Adapter, device must mehr rooted, and use the tool"stick mount:
If device is unrooted You can use the "nexus Media importer" from market.

Yes thanks I understand that but a memory stick with an micro interface wouldn't need the cable. know they don't exist but wondered if any technical issue that would rule them out.
I think, there might be a problem to harm your connector port if the USB stick isn t quite small, a flexible cable is the better choice in my opinion...
But your idea is interresting..

I thought this was interesting too. Until I realised you'd need an adaptor to plug it into a computer. So no real benefit ...LOL

I bought a 64GB Kingston usb drive and use 'Nexus Media Importer", works great with HD films and music etc. It's a shame it can't be used as an SD card enabling installation of apps etc to it. Oh well, maybe in the future or I finally root my Nexus 7.
Since the nexus 4 does not have an sd card, is there an adapter that connects to the phone and allows to read an sd card?
OTG cable

Does it really work? Where can i buy it?
Here is one. You would just need to plug in micro sd to usb adapter into it.
I bought the equivalent for my samsung galaxy 7 plus, and i was unable to read my card.
Do i need to install an app to make it work?

Here's a video of it working for your device, maybe you're missing something.
Thanks. It works with some sd card readers but not all.

If I'm not mistaken he already has an 8GB N4 and is looking to buy a second much smaller device with a high capacity to listen to music on. If that is the case OP, just buy one of the numerous low end galaxy phones because most (if not all) of them come with an SD slot and with Samsung you're likely to be updated to a reasonable extent.

I don't get why you would need a second Android device, why not save yourself some money and get yourself a sansa clip zip or plus 4gb($35 on Amazon)...it has an expandable sd slot, install rockbox and you've got a great mp3 player with great sound out the box at an unbeatable price. It's what I use, read up on it....I know it's not what you asked but it's another option.
