Nexus 10 (2013) Leaks and Info

[paintdrinkingpete]

Not me. There is a solution that is simple I wish sites would use: Nexus 10.1 Nexus 10.2 or Nexus 10-1 Nexus 10-2. I am not going to put a stupid YEAR on the model.

That works fine when either (a) Google uses that nomenclature themselves or (b) everyone knows what you're talking about. In this case, the latter probably will be true...but that's really doesn't make it any better than appending the year of the device's release to it either in my opinion.

I mean, it's worked for cars all these years...I'm certainly not going to put an add in Craigslist trying to sell my Honda Civic.33. (EDIT: I guess a 2005 Civic would actually be the Civic 8.5, since it was the fifth year of the 8th generation).

Obviously my previous post was a bit "tongue-in-cheek", but honestly I actually prefer the more simple naming convention that doesn't need to require a number or other demarcation after it.

I mean, it can work fine for a while, but then it can start to get pretty messy...for example:

iPad --> iPad 2 --> the new iPad w/ Retina display (what?) --> 4th generation iPad --> iPad Air

And don't even get me started on Widows...

Windows 3.1 --> Windows 95 --> Windows98 --> Windows ME (anyone remember this???) --> Windows XP --> Windows Vista --> Windows 7 (which is actually Windows version 6.1) --> Windows 8 (actually 6.2) --> Windows 8.1 (actually 6.3).

WTF do these numbers even mean? I mean, the year version were one thing, then they went with the code-names, then they decided to go with version numbers, even though the names don't actually reflect the internal version recorded by Microsoft?!?

Anyway, I kinda like the way it's done with cars. The model is Nexus 10, which stays permanent, and then the year can denote which generation it is.

Very disappointed the 10.2 wasn't announced alongside the N5 today.

I'm not shocked...but a bit disappointed myself.

Not terrible shocked considering how the N5 was "announced". I am still hoping there is an actually event in the next week or so here where they will of course talk more about the N5 and release the N10. For me as long as its out by xmas I am not worried. Not in a rush for it as it will be my first full size tablet anyways.

Possible Nexus 8 inch option?

The Nexus 7 is too small for what I'm looking for in a tablet. But 8 inches starts to become appealing. Mostly because the only improvement I need on the current Nexus 10 is weight reduction.

Having just picked up the LG G Pad yesterday I would welcome this, I am returning the G Pad today but only because I bought it out of frustration with my N7, the g pad is nice, great screen, good speakers, really light and thin, be nice if Google gave us a 32gb version, my main reasons against the g pad are, it gets really hot, no accessories, no notification led, and no apps2sd which is dumb considering it has a micro sd slot and only comes with 16gb of storage

Google doubles down on lack of secrecy, leaks possible 8-inch Nexus tablet | 9to5Google

Interesting...I had seen rumors about this in the past month or so but kinda wrote it off for incorrect information simply because it didnt make sense considering they recently released the 2013 N7. I figured they would wait until nexts years N7 refresh cycle and the new model would be the Nexus 8.

If they do in fact release a N8 and N10 together I will have quite the choice to make on which to get.

Regarding the 8 inch tablet: Over on Reddit they have some proof that this is a photoshopped image. So it isn't a real device.

So moving on. Waiting for more news on new N10.

I can't say that surprises me. Seems totally illogical to release a new 8" device after releasing a 7" and soon a 10". Now, if they had 6", 8", and 10" that might make some sense, but another whole model just for an inch bigger doesn't (at least not to me).

Well I got my Nexus 5 today. Now I just need the new Nexus 10 to be released. Come on Google!!!

Yep same feeling all round, would be different if the last N7 was release November 2012 of course.

Still hoping we see something soon on the N10...really would not make sense for them to not have it out in the next week or so. Logically you would think they want it out by black friday

I've been following this whole thing about when the N10 2 will appear and what it will have and I am convinced nobody knows anything. Let me clarify that - if you're reading something some writer or blogger wrote or rumor or "knowledgeable source" then you're, ipso facto, getting nothing but smoke. To quote a wiseman, "Those who talk about it don't know, those who know aren't talking about it". I've read so many predictions as to what day and time it will be announced that have come and gone to be convinced that nobody knows what they're talking about. Let's look at this logically. Originally Google would have loved to beat Apple to the punch of announcing a tablet. If they could have they would have. How many people are buying the "Air" only because they don't know even when the N10 2 will be announced. LG as brought their tablets to market, as has Samsung and Amazon and whoever else. I can't believe there is any strategic marketing involved in being the last to come to market. Why would Mr. Google not at least announce their offering. The only logical answer is that there is something wrong with the product or manufacturing that absolutely precludes it from even being announced. When, if ever, will it be available? If you are writing about it then you don't know. My advice: if you are waiting for the N10 2 I wouldn't. Go get something else. Even if they can make it real it will be so backorderd that you'll probably die before you get it. That's my 3 cents.

If it hits the leaked specs @ $450 or less that'd be really nice and would undercut the Note 10.1 buy at least $100.

Note 8.0

Im losing patience to be honest, im really wanting to buy a new tablet and ive been holding out waiting for this, but i may just splash out

The Nexus 5 is technically available earlier than the date from last year. It may be that Google is merely spreading the release dates. Hopefully the Nexus 10 is made available at the same time as last year, mid november.

It is only just now coming up on a year! I bet it won't be long now. They will want it out for the Xmas shopping season for sure.

In short: responsible Journalists [Like AndroidCentral] may well have inside information that they are not at liberty to share.

Honestly I believe very few people who would buy a NEXUS could \be swayed to buy an iOS device. Nexus is a very specific type of Android. As such it attracts those who not just want any tablet or any android but want the device that is designed to work on the latest version of android

Why would Mr. Google not at least announce their offering.

Could be they are taking a new approach to things. A "less Fanfare" is more approach. COuld be the transparancey issues Kitkat haas with the current N10 will be present in the new N10 and they haven't decided how to proceeed. we could sit here all day and come up wtih Logical possibilities.

The only logical answer? Hardly. Possible? Sure, but certainly not the "only logical answer". Maybe Google was so busy working on N5 and KitKat that they just haven't had time to also launch the N10 yet.

This we already know is true, Jerry has said more than once he has information on it he cannot share...

Agreed... the only exception would be those getting into a tablet for the first time and have done all the homework looking for "the best".
