Asus, Google Nexus 7 purchase
So, I know we've talked about various tablets on here before and debated whether one was overall better than others. I'm pretty convinced that the Nexus 7 will fulfill all of my needs. Basically I want the thing to do a little surfing of the net, playing P*, playing some music, etc. Don't plan on loading the thing up with a ton of movies/videos.
Just curious as to whether or not people feel that 16Gb on a tablet is enough, or is 32Gb a smarter decision? Again, not planning on playing a mountain of games/movies, etc.
My understanding is that these things don't have a port for a flash memory card, but do come with a micro USB port, so if necessary you could connect a USB stick which would be clunky but in a pinch would suffice.
Reason for asking is that the 16 is on sale today at FS for $200 down from $240. I'm having a hard time convincing wife that we need one of these and this could be a deal breaker.
Never mind... This whole freaking plan just got horribly, masterfully torpedoed broadside today by a $500 brake job on my work van. Coupled with a lovely alternator dying feeling in my wife's car while I was on the way to the bank to get the money for the brake job. FML.

However, I've never come close to filling either of them... to be fair, I stream most things through the playbook, and often use it more as a wireless flash drive.

Thanks Blondefish. You're also a smart cookie. I actually logged on to the forum at this point as I was about to order this thing and was looking for other opinions. I'm a tech toy addict and wanted a new toy. Very bad habit that I can't afford.
You just created an intervention. Thanks.
Looking at that post this morning, it's almost as if Blondefish was staring into my soul! On top of that, I'm almost concerned that what Blondefish said sounds terrifyingly similar to what my wife's been telling me for years now.
Either way, thanks again. I needed a kick in the head.
