Nexus 10 will be mine. Rather than a 10" tablet priced to move, this will be a premium tablet, likely $499 for 32GB. My only reservation is that it will probably lack a slot for microSD expansion. Not real thrilled about that.

Do you really think there is that big a market for a premium android tablet? I'm not so sure, but am willing to see first before making judgement.

The market will all depend on how well the device performs. The screen resolution makes it a premium product, but we'll see if the rest of the package is worthy. I am reading that the base model will be 16gb, so it looks like they're going to slot themselves head to head versus the ipad.

The event is being postponed because of a little rain:

Google went forward with the announcement sans the "event" portion:

Steve Jobs must be rolling over in his grave since Apple couldn't put LTE in the Nexus 4..... Oh wait, nope it's Google that couldn't do that.....
