Google Nexus 10 Tablet Rumors


What do you guys think about the Google Nexus 10 Tablet?  What will it be priced at?  Who is going to make it?  Voice your thoughts in the comments section.


I personally think...


Manufacturer:

Sony- Sony has a past of making beautiful tablets and phones.  Google wants a quality tablet both inside and out.


Price:

To get big sales, Google needs to keep the price low.  However, I think the plan with the Nexus 7 was to price it so cheap, people felt they had to buy it.  Now that more people have already invested into the Android ecosystem, they can start making a profit off of their devices.

Google Nexus 10 16GBs- $350

Google Nexus 10 32GBs- $400


Extras:

Like the Nexus 7, I don't think the Nexus 10 will have HMDI output or an SD card, which will be a major disappointment.

Five Reasons Why You Shouldn't Buy The Official Nexus 7 Case




Five Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Purchase The Official Nexus 7 Case

1.     Price-

*****update****

You can actually get it for cheaper at Sams Club:

Dark Grey- Nexus 7 Dark Grey Travel Cover 



The official N7 case is a mind boggling $20 not including shipping and tax.  You can buy a                   halfway decent case on Amazon for $7 shipped.  I feel like Google wanted to try to make some extra cash on the case, instead of the actual tablet.


2.     Product Quality & Overal Feel-

This case feels like it costed less than $5 to produce.  The rubbery cheapy feel doesn’t help me think any better of it.  The front flap is very flimsy and “flappy”, if you were to walk around with it, it would be all over the place.  That isn’t what you expect from Google and Asus. 


3.     Smart Cover-

My main concern is that this doesn’t have a “Smart Cover” feature implemented into it.  Most Amazon cases that cost more than $10 have a smart cover feature implemented into it.  A Smart Cover feature would have most definitely have helped with the flappy front cover.


4.     Protection-

The Official Nexus 7 Case provides little to not at all protection of the Nexus 7.  If you dropped a “naked” Nexus 7 from five feet and a Nexus 7 armed with the official case, I don’t think there would be much of a difference.  I would still be worried walking around Times Square with the Nexus 7 in my hand.


5.     Lack of Selection-

The only colors availible at this point for the Nexus 7 case are “dark grey”.  No one wants to put their Nexus 7 into a dark grey case.  Luckily, Asus is coming out with colored cases, but why wait so long to release them?  In my mind, the lack of selection and choices is a huge issue regarding this case.

Three Reasons Why You Should Buy The Official Nexus 7 Case



Get the case for $19 shipped here!




Three Reasons Why You Should Purchase The Official Nexus 7 Case

1.     Slim Profile-

The N7 is one of the thinnest lightest tablets on the market.  You don’t want to purchase a big bulky folio that makes the N7 as big as a dictionary.  The official case is as slim as a hundred-page book.


2.     The Google Factor-

Google and Asus had a vision about a case that would broadcast a message, “GOOGLE and ASUS”.  A lot of people like to have brand name accessories from the same company they purchased the device from. 


3.     Made For The Nexus 7-

A lot of cases out right now aren’t made for the Nexus 7.  Many are just Kindle Fire or Galaxy Tab cases, which means some buttons aren’t easily accessible.  With the official Nexus 7 case you know all button ports are accessible and you don’t have the hassle of dealing with a company
