See why I like to access external storage like a sd card reader with a cable though the micro usb  is for pictures. It's so much easy to use photo programs to resize and adjust your pictures before emailing or uploading to a cloud photo website on a 7 or 10 inch  tablet its not funny. So for me the ability to import photos from a external sd memory card in a reader is import feature and the major reason why I did not get a kindle fire . So I'd like to know if file transfers are possible? The quad core processor would make basic photo editing go much faster. Plus the compact size nexus 7 would make a great compact travel companion help me leave bulker netbook pc at home for leisure travel.
