So, a friend is coming to India from USA in the second week of December. Now, I would of course want to buy the Nexus 4 but it looks impossible to score a unit in the next 10 days or so. The next best option is Nexus 7 or Nexus 10. Or even a Chromebook. Nexus 10 is around 400 dollars which makes it an expensive purchase for me (considering I am in a financial mess). So, the best possible option is getting one of the variants of Nexus 7. Variants: 16GB, 32GB, 32GB+3G. I am tempted to go for the cheapest version. Though price different is not that big of an issue. 100 dollars more I get double storage and 3G support (might help in resale value? :P ). Based on my experience, Android devices have crappy resale value so it make little sense to go for an expensive variant even though the price difference is hardly 5000 rupees. I do not expect to watch movies on the tablet though I might. 12GB would be good enough for a bunch of movies if I am out traveling. Want to discuss if there is a good reason to go for the 32GB version or the 3G edition. Also, what else can I get him to bring me? :D I usually would have thought about a media player device but I do not own a TV and do not intend to buy one. Damn confusion. If only Nexus 4 was readily available. :D I would not pay premium for the T-Mobile version.Should add here that I already have a 3G plan on my phone (with its own range of issues!). So, I can always tether in times of need. I would not like to pay for another 3G sim.Tempted to order a SSD... Though it would be a pain to switch my current install to the new SSD. :\
 
to use otg cable you need to root nexus 7?

To access external storage with otg you have two options. Either root or buy an app in play store that costs 2.99.
 
ooh. so that app works without requiring root? good enough for me i guess. i don't see any use for otg anyways. i am sure there are apps that can stream media content from my desktop to the tablet :P

My friend is coming tomorrow from US and he is carrying a Nexus 7 for me. i was buying 16GB version from play store which would've costed me 200+tax+shipping = ~$235.
changed the mind and bought 32GB version from Newegg @ $249 and no tax on it and free shipping.

ooh cool. should check it out :D

i assume nexus 4 is not on sale through other stores (apart from t-mobile) :P
 
hmm. so they do not have the 3G version available. hmm. i do not see the point of going for the 32GB model without 3G. :\
 
also nexus 4 is not available online except play store and tmobile officialy. there are listings on ebay though but they are charging almost double the price.@admin, are you messing up with two threads :D
