We first heard that Google was working on a tablet

called the Nexus 10 this past summer and now it looks

like it?s close to becoming a reality. The Italian Android

HD Blog found a picture on Picasa that purportedly

provides more details on the device and shows that it

will have a 10-inch display with a resolution of

2560 ? 1920 pixels, or around 299 pixels-per-inch.

No word yet on who?s manufacturing this new Nexus

tablet, but previous rumors suggest that it will be

Samsung.

Edit: The above picture is a mock-up I took from the web.

Android Hardware >> Windows hardware. Why why why?!?!

Because android considerably more popular than any mobile device with windows on it.

Why? Because manufacturers don't have to pay for the Android software.

They don't pay for the OS, but they pay to use Google apps, like Gmail and search and also for market access.

Because Android is more open, and OEMs can do whatever they want with it.

With WP7 they have to follow specific guidelines.

On the other hand, this model also has disadvantages. With OEMs forcing Android on extremely low level hardware, leading to horrible user experience.

They do. To Microsoft.

Microsoft charges OEMs around $15 per Android device. That's about the same as the license cost for WP7. So, there's no difference whether they produce Android phones or Window phones.

The difference lies in the openess of Android. They don't follow any hardware guidelines. As soon as some newer technology comes, they implement it, and modify the software themselves. (This is what fragmentation is partly about. )

Yes they do. Android itself is free but if you want any Google services (maps, marketplace, etc) you must pay per device.

do you have a source for that? google service apps has to be licensed from google but OEM pay nothing.

google need these services in Android to make profit.

Asrokhel, the OP says an Italian blog found a picture, but that the linked picture was not the same one.

Funny thing is, I didn't see the image attached to the OP, because the image link is broken, I was talking about the image you see on the BGR article!

If you're referring to this picture:

That's a Nexus 7.

Regarding the original post on Android HD, you were right. It would appear that there were two 'leaks' concerning the Nexus 10/X. The one on Android HD was a picture taken with what they claim to be a Nexus 10 based on the EXIF data.

DAAAWWWM!! Isn't that a kick in the PPI pants to Microsoft. Now with Tablets MS has shown that instead of competing in real-time with Android and iOS they are going to lag with last year's technology. Surface v1.0 bad price for an already out-dated product. Surface v2.0 next year, might be worth getting...

You just contradicted yourself there. I don't have a source at hand but that's how Google makes money from Android (and obviously with Playstore).

No, i didn't contradict. you just didn't understand. Licensing not always mean getting paid for providing a service.

There are free licensing. you have to get permission to use it but dont have to pay for it.

    • Google reportedly limited Meta's Gemini access over limited AI compute

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Google reportedly limited Meta's Gemini access over limited AI compute by Karthik Mudaliar Google is reportedly limiting Meta's use of its Gemini AI models after Meta tried buying more computing capacity than even Google could supply. According to the Financial Times, Google told Meta in March that it could not provide the full Gemini capacity that Meta had requested. This shortfall even disrupted and delayed some of Meta's internal projects. Due to this, Meta even told its employees internally to use AI tokens more efficiently. Meta wasn't the only one to get hit by this sudden refusal by Google; even other customers were affected. But Meta was hit harder because of its unusually high demand for Google's models. The move from Google makes it evident that companies all over are in limited supply of both infrastructure and compute. Alphabet said in April that Google Cloud revenue grew 63% year-over-year to $20 billion in the first quarter, helped by enterprise AI infrastructure and AI solutions. In pursuit of more compute, Meta had earlier signed a multi-billion-dollar AWS agreement as well as a large AMD GPU deal for AI data centers. But the crunch would be short-lived as both Meta and Google have also ramped up infrastructure investments heavily. Meta said in November that it was committing more than $600 billion in the U.S. by 2028 for AI technology, infrastructure, and workforce expansion. In the first quarter of this year, Meta also raised its expected capital expenditure for 2026 to a range of $125 billion to $145 billion, citing higher component pricing and additional data center costs for future capacity. However, this doesn't make the company immune to the current dependence on outside suppliers. Meta has also spent many years promoting Llama as an open-weight alternative to closed models from Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic. But if the reported reliance on Google's Gemini models is severe enough for internal work to get impacted, then it looks like even frontier labs and Big Tech aren't fully self-sufficient.

    • Samsung, Amazon extend 990 PRO 2TB NVMe SSD deal beyond Prime Day 2026

      By seeprime · Posted

      I like to reminisce about the good old days, way back in autumn 2025 when building a gaming machine was fun and the drives were about $150 when you caught a deal. Yes duh, back in the day we had it gone. Then baby Skynet came along, hiding in AI datacenters demanding more processing power until it reached singularity. End of a not totally fictional story.
    • Bypassed Windows 11 shows surprising stability on ancient, completely unsupported hardware

      By +Spark99 · Posted

      My experience in the past with older Windows 11 builds was not great on unsupported machines but I recently used Rufus to put the latest build on a older 5th Gen Core Thinkpad T that we upgraded with a SATA SSD and 8GB of RAM four years ago when hardware was reasonable and it seemed pretty fast and solid. Customer is very happy with the performance and will probably get four more years out of that venerable laptop that he loves so much. Another customer just retired his Dell Studio laptop from 2009 running Windows 10. It got an SSD over 10 years ago and did everything he needed it to for 17 years but he also retired last year and is happy doing everything on his iPad now.
    • Apple's newest AirTag 2 gets first big discount

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Apple's newest AirTag 2 gets first big discount by Taras Buria In late January 2026, Apple introduced its second-generation AirTag trackers, bringing a refresh to the old model that has been on the market for half a decade. Now, you can get these new trackers at an all-time low price, thanks to the first big discount that brought the price down by 17% on Amazon. While the second-generation AirTag looks identical to its predecessor, it packs meaningful upgrades inside. The second-gen ultrawideband chip works 50% farther than the original AirTag, allowing you to detect lost items in a wider range. In addition, the second-generation AirTag features an upgraded Bluetooth chip for extended range and a significantly louder speaker (up to 50%) so that you can hear it better when locating a lost item. Note that the second-gen AirTag only works with iPhones and iPads that run iOS/iPadOS 26 and newer, so you need a compatible device to use the tracker. Like the original AirTag, the AirTag 2 is available in two packs: one and four pieces. Both are now available at a notable discount on Amazon, and you can purchase them using the links below. Apple AirTag 2 tracker - $24 | 17% off on Amazon Apple AirTag 2 tracker (four-pack) - $89 | 10% off on Amazon Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S.- specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Tidal won't monetize AI slop music, company says

      By monterxz · Posted

      I've been on Deezer for over a decade, but glad that Tidal joined them in fighting AI slop. Can't stand such takes as Spotify's: "Spotify's CEO recently pushed back against listeners who call AI music "slop," urging people to stop using the term and instead embrace the creative potential of AI music."
