news Nexus 10 has 2560x1920 display

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?!?!

[Macsen]

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

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.

Hmmm... android hardware is hardware that runs android. Good try though.

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

Moar cores. Moar screen. Moar power Moar speed... oh wait ;)

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

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.

[FMH]

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

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. )

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.

That render make it look ugly but i could go for a N10 and get rid of my ipad no problem.

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.

I hope it at least is 500 for the 32Gb version. I have a 16Gb tablet and have reached its limits. While traveling overseas I need more space for music and movies and comics.

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...

[moloko]

I do think the next generation of tablets will be focusing on bigger screen resolution (but not as much as the ipad3).

[BajiRav]

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.

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).

[Corvini]

**** just got real guys :woot:

Dawg, you're looking at it wrong :shiftyninja:

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.

Has anyone realized that "2560x1920" is the size of the picture taken with the Nexus 10, not the screen resolution?

Hmmm... That is a big fail on behalf of BGR. And I just shared it.

This screen resolution does sound a bit unbelievable.
