I've been buying five new Android apps a day recently.
Thanks to Google, that's been costing me $1.25. They're having a bit of a sale - to celebrate 25 billion downloads, they're offering a new selection of top apps each day at just 25¢ each.
Today's purchases included the well-regarded adventure game HORN. 25¢. 1.7GB download. My Nexus 7 only has 16GB of flash, total, and about 13GB available after the OS and reserved space. A 25¢ app just ate 13% of the space on my $250 device. (Actually, it's US$250, but A$300.)
I also bought The Dark Knight Rises Batman game. I wasn't going to at first, then I realised that at 25¢, the time I'd spent thinking about it had already cost me more than the game itself. That's another 1.8GB. After HORN, I don't think I have that much space left.
64GB model now, please. Or better, 128GB. I'd even consider buying a 256GB model if the price differential was competitive to SSDs - i.e. below $1/GB.
Also, microSD is not a luxury in these devices, it's essential.
