Part of the problem is, availability.

I have a Nexus S 4G, which has 16 gigs, and no SD card. I have heavily used the cloud with it, and my data usage shows. This past week alone I've used 2 gigs of data from 3g or 4G. Wifi, not so much, because right now, I only have wifi access at my house (but I do use wifi exclusively at home), so I've clocked in 338mb.

Being that the Nexus 7 is wifi only, the cloud would be largely useless to me. I can't be the only one in a situation where they won't always have reliable wifi connections when they want to use the device. Even if it had 3G/4G, with the cell data networks being so spotty (why I use wifi exclusively at home, I lose all data connectivity there), and how much they're limiting data, the cloud isn't as enticing.
