Hey folks,
So just by chance, while searching from my phone for stock of the 16GB Nexus 7 in my local Canadian FutureShop and BestBuy stores (which in Toronto area all have none BTW...) I came across a listing of a 32GB Nexus 7, priced at "$259" (note no typical ".99" at the end) on BestBuy's mobile site. Clicking the link brings up a photo gallery but no written details etc, so far. The 16GB model on the Mobile site is also listed as being on "final clearance" and hasn't generally been in stock anywhere locally for several weeks.
Looking for these on the full desktop version of the site does not produce the same results, so it's possible it's just a glitch with their Mobile site -- but as we've all been hearing rumours of an impending 32GB model release, and with Staples in the USA having had a similar "leak", it seems likely that we will indeed be getting a 32GB version sooner rather than later.
I currently have a Transformer Prime (TF201) 32GB, and though I mostly love the device, have been rather infatuated with the Nexus 7 since its release and especially since recently buying one for my girlfriend. The smaller & lighter form factor seems much more comfortable to hold for extended periods, and easier to type on with regards to the on-screen keyboard. I do have the TF201 keyboard dock, but I rarely use it as I mostly prefer using the tablet on its own. Despite sacrificing the MicroSD/SD/USB connectivity and physical keyboard, have many of you switched from the Transformer pads to the Nexus 7, and if so, do you regret doing so in any way? I'm debating between just keeping the Prime, selling it for the Nexus 7, or actually keeping *both* as they would both serve purposes for me. I suspect the Nexus would benefit my needs at work, for example, while the Prime is simply too large to carry around with me there.
