For real? That blows. I was actually looking at the Nexus as a possible cheap photo management and blog posting device while bike touring. I don't have a Nexus but according to the .pdf manual you can transfer files too and from the Nexus via the micro USB port that is also used for charging. Here's what the manual says:

Transfer files through USB: You can use a USB cable to transfer music, pictures, and other files from your tablet to a computer and vice versa. This connection uses the MTP protocol, which is supported by most recent versions of Windows but not by Mac OS X. For file transfer to Mac OS X, you use the free Android File Transfer application.


Windows transfer

1. Connect your tablet to the USB port on your computer. Its USB storage is mounted as a drive and appears on your computer screen.

2. Copy files back and forth as you would using any other external device.

3. When you finish, eject the tablet from within Windows before unplugging the USB cable.
But perhaps this doesn't work when one uses the micro-USB port to connect directly to a camera?
