That’s a plus.

DroidLife has a video on this and the boot-loader is unlockable

I’m all for using the cloud to stream my music etc, but at the same time, I may use this tablet to listen to my music a lot and I may not be in a wifi area every time, having all of my music copied onto the device would take about 9GB alone, I really wish they would have included a 32GB model though, or at least have MicroSD, but oh well, it’s Google’s baby, so I know I’ll be plenty satisfied.

I personally don’t come close to that on my TFP or my Bionic, just curious what you all would use more than 8gb that has to be available immediately, not via cloud.

But the “space” for a rear cam begs for a little hackery

It seems there is a 32 GB module in the same line, it would have been nice if they had put that in.
