Thanks in advance “ Q2: “Can somebody clarify whether nexus 7 can play .avi video files? I read that it can only play mpeg4 and not avi files. I uploaded an avi to my dropbox cloud and then accessed it via the Nexus 7 and the avi file played. Couldnt fast forward or rewind but could pause. I copied it accross to the Nexus and then attempted to play it but it said file format unsupported. AFAIK Dropbox does not have a media player, so I wasn’t streaming it. So the Nexus was managing to play this file from the cloud. Yet when I transferred it to the Nexus in built HDD it failed to play. Any ideas why this is happening?” Accutally, Google Nexus 7 is an amazing device to play games and watch movies when travelling, camping or being at home.
