Nexus 10 16GB WiFi AVAILABLE in Google Store - $399

Quote from Kryspie : Sorry, not ready to spend $400 on a toy....oops I mean tablet right now. Call me when its $200 and has SD card....

You might want to take a look at the blackberry playbook, its almost sub $100. Because you know... we're trolling right?

The reason the Nexus 10 hangs is because of the super high resolution screen. You have to marry the screen resolution with a proper GPU.

This reviewer below says Temple Run runs the best on an iPad mini, compared to the Nexus 10, iPad 3 and iPad 4. Even through the CPU and GPU lag behind, it's more fluid due to the lower resolution.

I was planning on buying the Nexus 10, but after seeing how few apps are optimized for the large screen, went with the Nexus 7. I also picked up an iPad 3 for the family (Meijer deal at $330 - still too much IMO, but the family is addicted to iOS). Apps look great on the iPad 3, and run well. I prefer the size and ergonomics of the Nexus 7 myself. iPad is just too big for surfing or playing apps if you are holding it. It's better on a table or on the floor. Tablets IMO are meant to be held. YMMV.

My biggest gripe with the Nexus 7 is the limited number of Tegra Zone games which are optimized for the GPU. The problem with this tablet is that most apps are designed to run off slower tablets and phones. It's just too advanced for what's out there right now. The iPad 3/4 doesn't have that issue, as many of their apps are optimized for both their tablet and phone/touch. In any event, I pick up the Nexus 7 more than the iPad. Size does matter.

Quote from runIrish24 : The Note does have lesser screen resolution but it's on JB, and not ICS. It also has amazing multitasking, expandable storage, S-pen (which is awesome for Splashtop), IR blaster, wireless screen mirroring, better processor. So yeah go with the Nexus unless you care about those small things...

Very well said

yeah, i gotta agree with you here. i prefer all of the above advantages over the higher resolution that may or may not be too high for the processor/battery to fully handle. If I was currently in the market for a 10.1" screen, I'd go for the Note. but I'd wait til it got a bit cheaper, since tablets are still more of a toy in my opionion, can't spend more than $250!

I'm thinking by the time I'm back in the market, this Note will be just what I'm looking for in that price range.

I have a handful of tablets in the 7, 9.7 and 10.1 sizes. I find the 10.1 just a bit too big and prefer the 9.7 for 90% of the time. I keep the 7" in my vehicle for portability, and it makes a decent ereader when my Nook ST isn't available.

But seriously interested in the upcoming 8" tablets. that 8-9" might just be the sweet spot for me.

BB Playbook is unacceptable because...well its BB. Im looking closer to one of the Asus Transformers or Toshiba Excite/Drive tablets.

And it's not trolling, it's market analysis.

Gotta agree with you on the price thing though. Too many, tablets are nothing but a luxury item that provide little benefit (For school the S-pen is essential for me). However if the Note 8 comes out around the $250 range they will sell like crazy

That's wishful thinking (including myself lol) but realistically it'll prob be around $350-400

Placed an order last night.

I just got a Nexus 7, it has 5 stuck pixels, so I am RMA'ing...decided to replace with the N10 because there wasn't enough difference to use the N7 when I have a GS3 with a screen only slightly over 2" smaller...

And you can replace Playbook with Z10 after 8 months.

Ordered mine Sunday night got it today (Thursday). Wasn't expecting that, since it says ships in 1-2 weeks.

why the fark is this not available somewhere for tax free?
