    Compact flash card reader recommendation needed

    I have a Canon 350D camera that uses compact flash cards. I tried connecting it to my N7 with a USB OTG cable to download photos from the camera to the N7.

    Questions and problems and rooting

    When we see questions about how to do something they are frequently from new folks who are running stock configurations. I have noticed that when we see threads from folks who are having problems they are frequently from folks who have rooted their device. That leads me to believe that...

    My N7 has all but replaced my PC

    My PC is the Asus 1215N netbook - not very large but still over 3 pounds with slipcover, AC adapter, and wireless mouse. My N7 weighs just 1 pound with its DeviceWear case and AC adapter, and it is much smaller. Every morning pour a cup of coffee and check my email and the weather forecast. I...

    Review of Sygic nav system for Android - long

    For the past few years I have used a nav system that runs on my Android phone. Recently I purchased a new Google Nexus 7 second generation tablet and looked for a nav system that would run on it. Because my tablet requires a WiFi connection to access the Internet, the system would have to...

    First impressions of Nexus 7 and Devicewear Ridge

    My Nexus 7 and DeviceWear Ridge case arrived today and here are my initial impressions. The case is the easy part, so let me get that out of the way first. The N7 is still easy to hold while in the case with the cover folded back, and the case holds the N7 securely. The ridge and slots appear...

    Thank you forum members

    I just wanted to say thank you to the members of this forum. I resisted tablets for quite a while and then seriously considered the new Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 as a complete replacement for my netbook. I concluded that was not going to work and looked for a tablet that could supplement my...

    Updating apps from Android Market (Google Play)

    I don't know if anyone else has posted this, but downloading apps from the Market burns data. I wasn't sure so I ran a test. I checked my data usage (I'm on a T-Mobile 200MB plan), updated the Opera browser, then checked data usage again. Sure enough, data usage was up by the size of the...
