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.

    • Apple raises MacBook and iPad prices as memory costs surge

      By +Warwagon · Posted

      Now 8GB of ram looks even worse in the Neo. I'm so happy I purchased 128GB of DDR 4 when I did.... paid $174. Upgraded my parents laptop to 32GB around the same time for $48. Luckily I have a TON of spare laptops. So i'm good on laptops for a while. I also have a lot of desktops too that I could use if i had to. Lets just hope nothing happens to my main 4 monitor couch workstation.

      I will keep my current devices for several years... no planning in upgrading until these devices stop working. Too pricey.
    • Apple raises MacBook and iPad prices as memory costs surge

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Apple raises MacBook and iPad prices as memory costs surge by Karthik Mudaliar Apple has raised the U.S. prices of several MacBook and iPad models, including the MacBook Neo, which it launched for $599 less than four months ago. The company’s cheapest laptop now starts at $699, while some MacBook Pro configurations have increased by $300. The changes affect the MacBook Neo, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iPad Air, and iPad Pro. Apple has not changed the hardware or storage included with these models, so customers are simply paying more for the same configurations. Here is how the new US pricing compares with the previous starting prices: Product Previous price New price Increase MacBook Neo $599 $699 $100 13-inch MacBook Air, 512GB $1,099 $1,299 $200 14-inch MacBook Pro, 1TB $1,699 $1,999 $300 16-inch MacBook Pro $2,699 $2,999 $300 11-inch iPad Air, 128GB $599 $749 $150 13-inch iPad Air, 128GB $799 $949 $150 11-inch iPad Pro, 256GB $999 $1,199 $200 13-inch iPad Pro, 256GB $1,299 $1,499 $200 The updated prices are already appearing on Apple’s U.S. online store. The MacBook Neo increase will probably attract the most attention. Apple introduced the laptop in March for $599, pitching it as a more affordable Mac for students and buyers considering Windows laptops or Chromebooks. It uses an A18 Pro processor and originally undercut Dell’s new $699 XPS 13 by $100. Following the increase, the two laptops now have the same starting price. The M5 MacBook Air has also lost the price Apple promoted when it launched in March. The 13-inch model arrived with 512GB of storage for $1,099, while Apple’s store now lists the MacBook Air range as starting at $1,299. The 14-inch MacBook Pro with an M5 chip and 1TB of storage has gone from $1,699 to $1,999. Apple has made similar changes to its iPads. The recently released M4 iPad Air, which launched at the same $599 starting price as its predecessor, now starts at $749 for the 11-inch version. The 13-inch version has risen from $799 to $949. The iPad Pro increases are larger in dollar terms. Apple’s 11-inch M5 iPad Pro now starts at $1,199, up from $999, while the 13-inch version has moved from $1,299 to $1,499. Both base models still include 256GB of storage. Apple blamed the increases on the rapidly rising cost of DRAM and NAND flash, which provide system memory and device storage. The company told Reuters that it had tried to shield customers from the increases but could no longer absorb them. “We have never seen a component price increase this much, this quickly,” Apple said. Tim Cook had already warned that price increases were coming. Cook said Apple’s existing component inventory had softened the immediate impact, but that higher memory costs would increasingly affect the company after the June quarter. Much of the pressure comes from the construction of AI data centers. Memory manufacturers are directing more production toward high-margin server products, leaving PC, tablet, and smartphone makers competing for the remaining supply. Apple has not said whether the new prices are temporary or whether further increases are planned. For now, the changes show that even Apple’s purchasing power has not been enough to keep the AI-driven memory shortage away from consumer devices.

    • This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of

      By Mateus · Posted

      This is a none story - these low volume Chinese models will always get new experimental features first because Apple and Samsung can't produce them in huge volume to meet demand.
