Would like a Shield Tablet, but going from 10.1 Inch to 8 Inch is too much of a difference.

C'mon Samsung, why can't you work this fast? Oh right because you make a million different smart devices

Really hope this feature comes to all android devices. It's the one thing that you would have thought would work like you think, but, doesn't. Mobile phones would benefit greatly from this if the additional card allows full installation of apps onto it without much messing about unlocking.

+1

If it was available in 10 inch i would have already bought one.

I got the original Nexus 7 on launch it was a good device but with limited uses, now i use an HP SlateBook 10 X2 and it gives me more posibilities due to it's bigger size.

IMHO 7 or 8 inches is too near in size to (too?) big phones/phablets, it could be enough as ebook reader or to take notes on the run but for something else like a versatile tablet to play games, browse or watch movies 10 is the perfect size.

Sweet, can't wait for the update. As an owner I agree that 8" is a tad small but it's a good piece of kit nevertheless.
