Is a Nexus 10.1 coming soon?

**FreakyLocz14** · 07-27-2012, 10:52 AM

The Nexus 7 is almost everything I want in a tablet, but two things are holding me back:

1) I want a 10.1 inch tablet.

2) It lacks internet access.

I would also like a microSD card slot, but that's not a deal breaker.

EDIT: I mean cellular internet access.

Why would carriers be a problem if they're not with the Galaxy Nexus?

i dont care for the 10"
I want the SD card slot, HDMI out and Gorilla Glass backed with a Kevlar cover similar to the Razr Maxx.

I will buy a Nexus 10 in a heartbeat.

I just got the Asus TF700 which is supposedly comign soon with 3G or 4G. Could double for a Nexus 10" since Asus makes it. So far I love it.

It has internet access. That's kind of the point behind this device, its designed specifically for the internet.

I'm seriously considering getting an TF700. Though it seems a little pricey.

Just got one for $500 from Amazon. Not pricy at all. It's right in line with other top end 10" tabs. And the only other hi-def 10" Android is the Acer A700 which, I will tell you from experience, purely sucks. The Asus is great.

I'd love to buy a Nexus 10, but there doesn't seem to be any real signs that it's happening, so I probably won't wait for it.

I'm considering replacing my iPad 3 with the Transformer Infinity. But I'm waiting for ASUS to address the IO performance issue and release Jelly Bean for it. Hopefully both will come in the next month or two.

So I'm guessing Google has until about September to announce a Nexus 10.

PS. Oh, and I almost forgot about the Amazon tablets. Supposedly they might have a bigger model coming. And it kinda sounds more real than a Nexus 10 at the moment. So I'll want to wait to see what a larger Kindle Fire looks like. I buy a lot of my content from Amazon already. Though I don't know if I really want Kindle's OS, will probably have to hope for good custom ROMs for it too.

Ditto what's been said. If you mean cellular 3G/4G, you won't see a Nexus like that because that'll tie it to a carrier and then the stupid carriers will block Android OS upgrades. The point of a Nexus is that you get the latest operating system instead of being crippled by something 4 versions behind

Get a cellular hotspot. Tether your tablet to it. There's your internet on the go. At home, you should be hooking it to your wifi router so you don't get charged for cellular data.

Look at the Asus Transformer Infinity for a 10" tablet...that's what I'd get, but I don't want it to have built-in cellular modems...

The Nexus 7 *just* came out, I don't think Google will be making any new tablet devices for the next several months.

**1812dave** · 07-27-2012, 08:17 PM

10 inches is too big for something that many people want to HOLD for long periods. that's one of the reasons I never bought a Jesus...er iPad. It's fatiguing to hold it. simple as that. I'm 64 years old and have no problem seeing what's on the screen of my Nexus 7...or my 4.3" Bionic, for that matter. bigger equipment isn't always the best solution for everyone. (no snickering, kiddies!!) :

Um. That doesn't stop the HSPA+ unlocked Google Galaxy Nexus from existing.

10" tablet should also have an active stylus. 10-13" is perfect for drawing or taking notes.

**Live2ride883** · 07-27-2012, 10:48 PM

If they come out with a 10.1 Nexus, I will be first in line at the closest Sam's club....

Using my WiFi hot spot on my VZW GNex. Share everything saving me some $$$

If you look at the mess that is the Verizon Xoom, it's way better IMHO to get a WiFi tablet and tether it to your phone or a portable hotspot. As for a 10" tablet, it has its place as an instant on device at home or for some light on the go productivity, but again IMHO, nothing beats 7" for portable entertainment, especially on a bus or plane. I have an iPad and I'm shocked at how unwieldy it feels next to the N7.

**SAENZ_SCENE** · 07-28-2012, 01:31 AM

I don't know if I would. I like the smaller form factor.I use the new iPad at work everyday and I find myself not wanting to and go for a smaller tablet each time. Its just preference. Some people with like the size. For those that do, it would be an Excellent option if it became reality. For those of us who like a smaller device, the nexus 7 is for us.

WiFi Xoom is already on Jelly Bean and is a Google Experience device, so technically it already is the Nexus 10.

WiFi Xoom > VZW Xoom.

If a nexus 10 is coming out consider it mine. I'll get that a nexus 7, an infinity tab, and a windows 8 tab. Yes I love gadgets hahaha

When the 3g Xoom was released it seemed like Moto had no plans for the WiFi version. I panicked and I bout. Lol. Hindsight being 20/20

I'm also thinking of getting the Transformer Infinity. I like the keyboard attachments for the Transformer tablets.

The reason why I want a tablet with an unlocked cellular modem is that I'm stuck in a contract on my mobile broadband line for another year or so.

I guess I could invest in a mobile hotspot, but that would be an added expense on top of an already expensive tablet.

I currently have the T-Mobile Galaxy Tab 10.1, which is still running Honeycomb! -__-

PdaNet tablet from the playstore will let you tether to your phone giving you internet on the go without having to buy a hotspot or pay for the service to be activated on your phone. It won't convert a 7" tablet into a 10.1" tho. I never thought I would like a 7" until trying it and now I actually think I prefer it for most things.
