Right, turns out connecting a controller to this thing is easy. At least if your in the states anyway as I seem to have no end of trouble.
The adaptor I purchased dosnt work. (I didnt realise when you plugged a wired mouse into this N7 you get a mouse pointer.. thats cool) For £2, you really do get what you pay for I guess. God knows what purpose this adaptor serves though.
Anyways, I have gone for this OTG? cable
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...ls_o00_s00_i00
Regardless of one of the reviews stating "Just an FYI for anyone looking for a standard OTG cable to use USB host on their phone or tablet, this will NOT work unless you have a Xoom (I believe). I bought this as I believed it was a standard OTG cable just branded by Motorola and it doesn't work with any of my HTC or Samsung devices. Motorola have obviously changed something to do with this cable which is pretty poor."
From what I have read HTC's Sense and Samsungs Touch Wiz has had problems with these sort of cables, hence me ordering this thing of the back of the an American forum. Lots of members are sayng this cable works as the N7's OS is pure Android minus the bloatware. Seen a few videos using this cable as well, so will keep you posted

Just got the 16gb nexus, not versed on tab droid so I have a couple of questions. Flash, what do we use now n task manager, where's it gone?

Took the nexus 7 back today, after 2 days it started to suffer from screen lift. Came out with a Galaxy tab 2, 10.1 not as fast but just as capable.

I just wish I knew what is taking so long for the official case to get released

re: Google Nexus 4 phone, and Nexus 7 & 10 tablets [Android]
Picked up another N7 yesterday, this time a C80 & not a C70 & straight out of the box it has screen lift.
I'll hang on to this one for a bit, if it doesn't get worse then it'll be OK but if it does get worse it will go back again!
Anyone managed to side load flash & get it working?

I put flash on to get iPlayer working but that is all that seemed to work with the flash apk.

Different shipment dates. All depends if the quality controll is actualy different. no body knows how long components sit in a warehouse before assembly...

C60, C70, C80. The general consensus seems to be that these denote batches if not revisions.
There are some differences between the 3 which are all internal & the C70 to C80 seems to be efforts to stop the screen lift which is happening to a hell of a lot devices.

Does the Nexus have a file manager I can browse my photos, mp3s and movies? I would also like to browse my NAS contents.
