Nexus 10 32g Available @Walmart for $499 YMMV!!

what came first the tablet optimized apps or the tablet? I dont understand why some are complaining about the ecosystem and how it is not developed. If there isnt a worthy tablet and tablet maker out there supporting and encouraging tablet optimized apps how do you expect the ecosystem to develop? If you are not buying one, thats great, but dont blame the ecosystem for the reason the tablet is bad.

does anyone have the SKU number for this so I could just call my walmart and not ask for a "Nexus 10," as some people might know it's not for sale yet

Quote from seoulian : While I was browsing Walmart yesterday, I found an interesting item. It was Nexus 10 32g!!! It was kinda late night so there was no one to ask it's for sale or not but it seems it's available now at Walmart.

and where is your Walmart if you don't mind sharing?

Thanks. BTW I just called about the Nexus 10, at that store. It's not in stock and he couldn't find the SKU. Looks like somebody picked it up....

those first couple of pages of comments are brutal. yikes.

Quote from fyu : are you bashing the nexus or ipad? i can't tell.

Awesome comment. Repped for giving me a good laugh.

Just picked up Nexus 7 at walmart yesterday. Glad I sold my ipad 3.

This nexus rocks! The software is much more mature than the Samsung tablet I looked at in February. I like the ability to customize the software, much better than the tight control of Apple.

Cost was about 50% of the similar Ipad mini.

The 10 apps I used on my ipad were all available for the nexus. I predict that by this time next year Apple tablet marketshare will fall from the current 50% to 30% (or lower).

iPad mini is a flop IMO. They really needed to release it with a retina display. Heck, every product has it except this mini. And they are charging a gold mine for it.

Product of the season IMO is the iPad 3, as far as large tablets go. Google's pricing on the Nexus 10 really set itself a bit high at $400, especially when the iPad 3 has been selling for $379 - not to mention being able to get it at Meijer this weekend with a new store for $309 plus tax.

This review says it all comparing the two tablets. I think as more and more people buy the tablet, they'll agree - the apps are just not optimized for 10" tablets yet. When they finally optimize them, the current tablets will be on a flash sale on Cowboom, and the latest and greatest will be taking their place. Google is playing catch up in a market that doesn't allow for lagging behind - at least as far as 10" tablets go. For Android smart phones and 7" tablets, that's the sweet spot. Nexus 7 16gb is a home run this season.

Apple has no incentive to produce good products. They could have taken some $70 Chinese Crap Tablet and stuck an Apple logo on it, sold it for $899, and had lines out the door. Their primary customer base doesn't care about specs, performance, etc. They just went The Next Big Apple Thing.

I too was a little shocked with the Nexus 10 pricing. I thought they would have sold them more in the $299 range.

I'd bet nexus 10 will have a price drop after the holiday.

They are already selling it at cost? how far do you want it to drop, i'd be happy they had a version with micro SD but may be that is too much to ask
