but wait....you get wonderful screen, with an underpowered processor, lol

What, more gadget news? I think you guys are doing it wrong. You should be reporting on Apple's earnings, how fast their products sell out and their long dead CEO's Yacht sighting first.... oh wait.

No 3G/4G/LTE versions of the Nexus 10???
Seems like a missed opportunity for some extra sales.

Why the hell does 16gb of storage bumps up a tablets price by 100$...
The difference between a 16gb sd card and a 32gb sd card is like what, 10$ nowdays?

The nexus 10 looks really nice. Its got a better screen and CPU than the new "new iPad", and twice the ram. And icing on the cake, despite being a superior product to the ipad, its cheaper! This looks like the "iPad killer" some of us have been waiting for, assuming it comes with data connection plan.

I wish tablet makers would learn to give us an 8 gig tablet with an sd card slot. It would be a huge success, and as far as I know, only the Asus does this in a quality tablet.

 

[IndignantSkeptic]

It's great that technology is moving on but what is the purpose of such a high resolution screen on a tablet now?

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.

Looks awesome and good to see Google nix the 8GB version. Apple and Co better do the same since it is an out dated storage # these days. 16GB new standard!

The Exynos 5250 is underpowered compared to what?

 

[Novulux]

Well my 1440p monitor seems pitiful . But hey, I got it for $220 due to seller mistake...

 

[aznjoka]

Exynos 5250 with the Mali T604 GPU is no joke. The Quadcore A-15's does 35,000 MIPS @ 2.5Ghz, Compared to a Phenom II x4 940 @ 3Ghz at 42,820 MIPS. Along with the Mali T604 pushing out 12.8GBs of Bandwidth. The hardware in the Mobile platform these days are hardly underpowered.

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.

Google cannot sell this with MicroSD card or every other Android tablets out there will die an instant death. The purposefully leave that out. Anyway many people rooted their Nexus 7 and use a USB drive via micro USB port.

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.

Seriously 1600p on a 10 inch tablet... GOD dammit my 20 inch monitor is barely 1680 x 1050....

Faster processor? If you're talking about an A5X it is, but GL Benchmarks show it's going to get beat easily by the A6X (unless Apple is lying about the 2X performance increase over the A5X).

And where are the Apps to take advantage of this screen?

Twice the RAM? When your OS is less efficient then you could use the extra RAM.

Seriously, is there anyone left on Tom's who actually understands hardware anymore? How could a site filled with people discussing CPU & GPU architectures have devolved into a bunch of haters who judge products purely based on the name instead if the underlying tech?

this news further delays my cravings. I keep holding my next tab purchases to the next big thing.
