Sorry but this is garbage

Quote from MacFrugal : Will this thing drop in price anytime soon? $400 is still too much for me.

$400 for quality components, better than "resolutionary" screen, etc etc. You get more than the iPad, for less. It's as good as its gonna get.

Quote from Hawk600 : I got a nexus 10 32Gb from Staples B&M back in December that I will return soon. This is just my opinion but $350 for 16gb and $400 for the 32gb would be a fair price. It is a great Tab but is not perfect.It does have a light bleed and battery time is just ok.It is also very fast and smooth but not a huge difference if compared with galaxy Tab 10.1 or Nexus 7 even a TF300, I mean nothing that worth a couple hundred dollars more. The screen is sharp but colors are just ok. The lack of memory card slot doesn't bother me much but is really unacceptable on a top notch device priced @ $500. I will return it and wait for a better price or promotion.

Are they going to let you? I was told once its opened and you've logged in you own it...

Yes. I just bought an open box Nexus 10 from Staples (got a 5% discount for it). All they do is a factory restore and repackage it.

Quote from Brooklynite : As a long time android phone user and lover I have to admit android tablets suck compared to iPad. This particular one sucks because of no SD slot. Google trying to push you to put all your data on the cloud so they can monitor you better supposedly for advertising purposes my a$$. I however interested in seeing this higher than Retina display.

You make a statement like that and then go on to mention a feature that the iPad doesn't have either?? Looks like we already have a nominee for dumbest post of 2013. That didn't take long. Congrats!

Fail. I mean total FAIL.

This tablet sucks because SD slot, but iPads are better, even though they have no SD slot.

Yeah, that makes sense.

Quote from brikwilliams : Would anyone happen to know if these have the screen light leakage issues that were reported on the Nexus 7?

I have the nexus 7 and can report I have no light leakage.

I'm currently using a rooted Nook HD and I love it. I've waited and waited for a deal on the 7" Nexus but it never came. Got a pretty good deal on the HD so I'm content for now. Definitely recommended if people don't want to throw down this kind of cash.

You don't believe that a company that made 96% of its nearly $40 billion revenue in 2011 from advertising is interested in your cloud traffic for advertising purposes? I'd love to hear what you think they want the data for instead.

Quote from alexstern : How much more "mainstream" can it get? Android has half of the smartphone market already. If they're waiting for it to become mainstream, they've missed the boat.

What I mean by mainstream is not in device adoption, I mean by device recognition. Android has a huge base of users, but most don't know what Android even is. Apple IOS on the other hand has a huge marketing campaign and people *want* those devices. They think Android is the device for people who can't afford an iPhone/iPad, which might be the case in some circumstances, but it's certainly not an inferior product.

Also, iPad/iPhone owners, by their very nature, are happy to waste, er, spend money on overpriced things. So app developers feel that they are more likely to pay for apps versus android users.

Once Android gets more loyal users and they demand app support, the companies will wisen up.

Quote from dealsalways : That's strange. Is the targeting/coding to Kindle Fire any different from Android? It does look like writing native apps for Ipad/Android does involve different programming models and interfaces (and resolution handling), but I'd have thought Fire is a pure subset of Android? Or is it not, and is it more of a Kindle file format?

One issue with Android tablets, versus iPad and Kindle Fire, is the extremely large variety of form factors, hardware, display sizes, processors (cpu and gpu), OS versions, etc. This has always been an issue for app developers because of the need to make an app work on so many different platforms.

iStuff and Kindle Fire is easier to develop for because the differences in the respective platforms is minute. And they can work closely with Apple and Amazon to make any required changes, etc.

But with generic Android, there is so much openness that it impacts the ability for any one app to work on all platforms.

HOWEVER, many app developers just ignore porting to android because they are lazy. The Wired app, I mentioned before, works perfectly fine if I sideload it on my Nexus7. But Conde Nast refuses to put any effort into expanding the support hardware. They will however let me pay for each issue directly from Google, even if I have a subscription already.

Google realizes this is a major problem, and it's one of the things they covered in the last Google I/O Developers conference. The new android versions are designed to be more agnostic to hardware, from an app perspective, to make things easier to develop for. They also are implementing better protections for apps to, because many developers don't like how easy it is to pirate android apps.

I really like the design of the Nook HD. I used to be an owner of the Nook Color. Without the Root and CM no way I would of even considered anything nook or kindle.

I picked up my Nexus 7 2nd hand for $150 (kinda high but if I don't like it I can resell it for probably about as much).

It is amazing that you can buy any of these quality devices for near $200. Competition is great for the customers.

You are aware that iPads don't offer this either, right? And that it's pretty easy to to attach one to the USB port on the Nexus with the right app?

Waiting on the $249 chromebook to come back in stock.
