The only part I want o JB is Beam and I want that now.

Don't give me the whole we do not have NFC thing, I counter that with "the Rez is not a world phone....oh wait..."

WHAR BEAM WHAR?!?!?

JB just dropped for the Nexus and there's already Roms. Today might be a good day after all.

[piizzadude]

when there is one for the One X or the new INC, then I will get excited. The ROM I run seems to be based off either of those two....

Maybe because UHF was a hilariously funny movie (like 20 years ago). I'd watch it again myself but I don't want to ruin the mental image I have of the movie.

Oh man. I grew up watching UHF and I watched it again recently with my brothers. It was funnier than ever.

When I first read this I saw JB and Beam and thought Jim Beam. Yeah it's been that kind of day.

Honestly that's what I thought he was talking about. Android Beam is part of ICS with NFC.

I think this all started with UHF. Next we're talking about JB and Beam, Jim Beam vs Android Beam. Then on to ICS with NFC which VZW is holding back from all but Moto and the GNex. Assuming you have the correct HW to run the SW which is needed to beam the Beam. If you don't, you're stuck with GB, or HC on your Tab.

My brain couldn't handle all of those abbreviations at once. My mind feels like it's on Eclair

Note the ASUS logo so we know where the hardware actually comes from. No SD storage option is a pisser for me, but the price at $249 for 16GB is better/competitive with Playbook or Kindle or ?

No removable battery either.

Screw Jelly Bean... Why don't i have Candy Cane on my phone already!!!!

What do/would you store on a tablet? I mean I have 4 Android tablets in my house right now and I guarantee you that none of them have more than maybe 2GB used.

Music: NAS / Google Music / Pandora
Video: NAS / Netflix

With my setup, we don't need local storage, and I'm guessing that's the trend that manufacturers are trying to get behind.

I have 100GB of ripped videos and downloaded music. That streaming thing just doesn't work that much for me except if there is a movie/video that I don't have that I just have to see. Rare for me.

I'd use up 16GB pretty quick with media files let alone apps and data.

You would store all that on a tablet? I mean honestly our phones don't have that much space. I have over 300GB of ripped music/video and I stream it all from my NAS. Then add in Netflix etc and I have media at my fingertips at all times. With all the cloud storage available(even personal via a NAS) I just think it's a better way to go rather than copying here there and everywhere.

Shouldn't that be Kandy Kane?

[twolastnames]

Oh man. I grew up watching UHF and I watched it again recently with my brothers. It was funnier than ever.

I think when Android gets to the letter T, the name is Twinkie Wiener Sandwich

[humpagardengnome]

Yes, it darn well should be but I don't know that Google will allow a retired porn actress hanging out on their front yard.

How do I steer this into a porn related discussion without receiving an infraction or having the thread closed? Could it be considered a "fine art" discussion?

True, phones don't have 300GB or even 100GB. But I have 64GB on my phone, why can I only have 16GB on my tablet?

4-6 32GB micro SD cards can carry a lot. And with the new VZ pricing plans for data, streaming will become less prevalent, at least on the carrier network. You're going to find that 4GB data is way too little if you do that much streaming of music/vids. And on a shared plan where 2-3-4 people are doing the same? VZ just sayin' "cha-ching!" I do much travel by car and plane and streaming is only an option by carrier network much of the time (although access to wifi is there when I stop at McD's or Starbucks, lol)

Nope, the ability to add memory is one of the cheapest upgrades that can be made. The decision to not include it is a business model. They want more memory, OK, here's the new model 32GB (or 64GB or 128GB etc.)

Is external memory a security issue? Absotivly, Posilutely. The enterprise space hates it, and perhaps that's the driving factor. The Playbook was designed for the enterprise, look where that went. But consumers are different.

Why have 64GB iPods when they can access wifi and stream music and vids? Apple knows streaming isn't enough, and often wifi isn't free anyway. Not many hotels offer free wifi to their business travelers. Added to the bill at the end of the trip.

No, the no ability to add external memory is planned obsolesense plain and simple.

[NoYankees44]

Joking aside, jellybean looks freaking sweet. I have seen Vids on YouTube and holly crap it is crazy how smooth it is. I want to make it have my UI babies. Too bad the rezound will never officially see it(i know it's not confirmed, but let's get real here). I guess I will have to get my fix with my tf300 when it updates . Asus updates for the win

Very well spoken argument. My retort being this; This is exactly why I'm leaving Verizon when my contract is up. I don't feel the need to beef up internal storage when I've made my life available from anything with a data connection. I surely won't suffer the tyranny of Verizon's data policy, so I will leave for another unlimited carrier and keep my digital life moving forward...not backward.

I hear ya but they all seem to be on course to the same destination, just taking different routes. I just wonder what point will need to be reached before the masses understand what is happening in the bigger picture, if they ever do realize their being backed into an increasingly smaller corners.
