Google Announces Nexus 10 With Stunning 2560x1600 Res
Google's Nexus 10 and new Nexus 7 are official and launching in a couple of weeks' time.
Hurricane Sandy might have meant a canceled press launch for Google but, instead of rescheduling, the company decided to go ahead and launch its new Nexus line anyway. Right before Microsoft kicked off its Windows Phone 8 announcement in San Francisco, Google unveiled the new Nexus 4 smartphone as well as an updated Nexus 7 slate and a brand new 10-inch tablet dubbed the Nexus 10.
The new Nexus 7 comes in 16GB and 32GB variations. It seems the 8GB version previously being sold at $199 has been nixed in favor of these new capacities. Google has also added HSPA+ mobile data to the device. Pricing for the 16GB will start at the same $199 price point we saw with the original 8GB model, while the 32GB model will cost $50 more at $249. It will be available in the U.S., UK, Australia, France, Germany, Spain, Canada and Japan via Google Play and through brick and mortar retails including Gamestop, Office Depot, Office Max, Staples and Walmart.
Other than a bump in capacity, HSPA+ and an upgrade to Android 4.2, the Nexus 7 hasn't changed much. However, Google also introduced us to a brand new tablet, the Nexus 10. Based on a 1.7 GHz Samsung Exynos 5250 CPU, the tablet packs a 10-inch with a mind-blowing 2560x1600 (300ppi) resolution. Other than that, there's the usual NFC, WiFi, Bluetooth (4.0), as well as 2GB of RAM, Android 4.2, a 5-megapixel on the back and a 1.2-megapixel camera on the front. Google says the 16GB will be priced at $399. while doubling the capacity to 32GB will set you back $499. This tablet will also be available November 13 via the Google Play Store. Google has already confirmed availability for the U.S., UK, Australia, France, Germany, Spain, Canada and Japan.

Seems like a missed opportunity for some extra sales.

Not even sure why I get downvoted for Tom's reporting on worthless Apple news about Yacht's and Tim Cooks lost pocket watch over "Tech news" but whatever. TH is the Authority on Tech so they must know right?
Quick APPLE Execs are leaving the company, halt all relevant gadget and tech news and post that with haste Tom's!
Probably because you are just hateful/whining with no legitimate reason.
come on, these rinky dink toys have better resolution than most pc monitors now.
i hate sony #@$%@#$^%1080p dvd format restriction grrrrrr!
What the name is Hate Machine and thanks for the comment.
The Exynos 5250 is underpowered compared to what?
You need to chill out buddy. The point of these comments is to provide a constructive discussion of the topic at hand, not bash on people and call them "fool", "dumbass", or other crap. It's really disappointing to see this kind of behavior on Tom's. If you don't agree with something someone says call it out and reply to them in a constructive and logical manner and point out their mistakes.
Facing competition from both Apple and Microsoft, Google has responded appropriately. This plus the smartphone running Android and those unknown quantity of China "whitebox" sold, there are a huge number of devices currently running Google OS. Much more than Apple as announced in recent statistics. While Apple would be happy with a niche market with high price premium, Microsoft better rethink their strategy quickly or they will be a distant 3rd in market share for a long time.
