Testing new Nexus 7 eReader…

I bought a new Nexus 7 eReader for posting pictures from my Nikon 5100 DSLR. I needed something I could use a SD/HC card reader on, using a USB To Go cable.  I couldn’t get this to work with my phone, and the reader has a much larger screen. 

I thought of the Nexus 10, but that was twice the cost…

I thought of the 7″ Galaxy Tab 2, but figured why spend the extra $10/month for the data connection when I can use the RAZR Maxx HD as a mobile hot spot when I don’t have a WiFi connection. Plus the Galaxy Tab 2’s are a generation behind in Android software. 🙂

So, here is a photo from the SD card reader posted to the blog to see if it works as advertised 🙂

Testing photo posting with a new hardware & software combo for the RAZR Maxx HD. This should also work on any new tablet I am thinking of buying…

This will allow me to post pictures from the DSLR SD card without taking the laptop!!
