It has been tested to work with 16gb cards. . . that’s a link to custom system images you can download and install on your hard drive.

Oh, WOW... I can just see the average consumers going through all of that... not. You just don't get it. This is NOT what people want to do. They are NOT GEEKS. They don't want to work ON their tablets, they want to work WITH their tablets... this piece of junk requires hours of work just to get it to work. The iPad works out of the box. No tweaking, no opening the case and installation of a purchased extra card, no nothing. That's excellent user experience. People pay for that.

I do get it though.

Some want one thing, others want another.

You’re making your case for the product or product category that you like, I’m making the case for a different product category where good is defined differently. Apple thinks excellent user experience means not glitching out, or being difficult. The Android does glitch and is more difficult but it does have the flash, and the more versatile connectors, and the ability to change out any number of full hard drives is definitely an asset.

But for those who want easy, ipad is easier. The ipad seems to have the advantage on 1) screen 2) solid, not glitchy, easy to use, all of which fall under user experience. The android has the advantage on 1) flash 2) connectors 3) price.

I’m not the first person to point out that philosophically, that’s the main difference between android and apple.
