I've been excited about this tablet since before it was a Nexus device, but being locked down to just 5-10GB of user accessible storage probably is a dealbreaker. Movies and games aside, you can't even fit all that many graphic novels in that space, and definitely not with any selection of music and/or audiobooks. Even PDFs stack up quickly. 32GB is about the minimum manageable storage for me.

Regardless, I have no particular itch to upgrade from my Nook Color. The Nexus 7's biggest draw is the sharper screen, and I'm not likely to have much of a toy fund until the next generation of tablets, anyway.
