+2 votesI was seriously expecting these prices to be $US, but when I clicked on the link these are $AU, so we can expect further discounting :-D. Sadly, it is $50 more expensive than US pricing
The only question is how long can I wait?
I don't really need a 10" tablet to go with my 7", but the resolution of 2560 x 1600 (320ppi) is so very tempting.
Depending on what US state and online retailer you're buying from, you likely will not have to pay sales tax in the US anyway. It's a big sore point for a lot of states with Amazon, so Amazon have agreed and/or been compelled by courts to collect sales tax for some states now. Not sure that other online US retailers have such burdens, but most don't.
So generally, you can compare US listed prices to AU listed prices (which in AU you legally have to include GST in the list price), and get miffed when AU is $50 higher.

I don't think your statement above is necessarily correct.
Almost without exception, no US price listings include tax, either on the web or at the storefront. You can buy a burger that's $2.99 on the sign and be charged $3.20 for it as they attract a 7% tax in that particular state. Cross the border to another state and that same $2.99 burger from the same company showing the same sign will be $3.11 as that state may only have a 4% tax on fast foods.
So the pricing on Amazon (or anywhere) still won't include the tax, that could only be calculated at checkout as it will be different depending on which US state you live in.
I just purchased one. Damn annoying that they were out of stock of the bumpers.
Does anyone know where I can get either a bumper or rubber case + some screen protectors?
EDIT: DealExteme has cases for $2.50 so i bought one there. Any idea on where to get some well sized screen protectors?
+44 voteswell it all depends on the character she is.
A lot of woman loves apple because the products they ell looks simple and has the kind of smooth shiny shape, and white color finish. Alot of woman loves this kind of noble and especially in electronic devices.
Well anyway it shouldn't be hard for you to decide, just think carefully from pass…eg…things that she like, cloths that she wear everyday…etc.
one thing to be sure to check is, ask your self this question: She like useful things? Or fabulous things?
She like simple? Or more in control?
good luck to u mate.

+6 votesYou're kidding right? HN will just send it off to Google anyway. Better to cut out the middle men and send it yourself. I refuse to ever buy any more electricals or devices from them since they had my bluray player and laptop longer than I did during the twelve month warranty period. They told me a bunch of crap about it being in transit, being fixed etc. After 7 or 8 weeks I went in and asked someone new there and it turned out he wasn't in on the story and told me the truth, neither had ever been sent off. They were both still out back…

+4 votesIn this case, $1 makes difference to the warranty claim:
When you buy from other retailer - warranty will be processed by ASUS
When you buy from google - warranty will be processed by Google, with no question asked, it will be replaced with the same if not better replacement.quoted from link below:

+25 votesDoes this really qualify as a 'bargain'? No discount, no significant price drop, just a new model release & minor change in official price point for the existing 16Gb model that we all knew was coming anyway.
Sure it's news a lot of people have been waiting on, but it's just that, news!
From what I've seen (you should go and confirm though) you might as well go and get one at a retailer now if you can find a good price, as there aren't any other changes with these new Nexus'. There is a 3G model coming out soon you might want to consider, but besides that the non-3G ones I'm pretty sure haven't changed.
- alwayseric on 30/10/2012 - 12:03 ¶
if nothing is changed, why do they release a New nexus7? (a genuine question)

+4 votesNexus 10 has Exynos 5 Dual Core CPU. Basically, a CPU that's 1 gen ahead of Apple A6 (the one in iPhone 5). It is probably the CPU that Samsung will put in Galaxy S4 (though there is still plenty of time for Samsung to put an even faster one in S4).
Early benchmark figures:
SunSpider: 36% faster than Apple A6
V8: 152% faster than Apple A6
Octane: 107% faster than Apple A6Mali T604 is the GPU… so it will be fast (the memory bandwidth is more way impressive than A5X, not sure about A6X.. I think the GPU in A6X is just faster clocked one than A5X). Basically, Exynos 5 dual core is FASTER than Atom Z2460. Now you know why Apple put out iPad 4 with A6X in a rush. Nexus 10 has sufficient raw power to give iPad 4 some interesting competition.
In short, N4, N7, N10 all have hardware at least matching Apple's offerings. With N10 being better than iPad 4. For those thinking about iPad 4, I suggest you wait and re-think. Wait for the full benchmark for N10, you could be in for a big surprise.
Exynos 5 Dual can support USB 3.0 and SATA III, though not sure whether those will be in N10 though (doubtful).
that is true, and is commonly the case historically going back more than a decade. however, the sad reality is, iOS is better optimized for Apple's generally inferior hardware and the fact that it doesn't fully multi-task like android makes it more responsive in normal usage. this fact is borne out in some application benchmark tests. the iPad/iPhone devices feel quicker even though the specs fall short of the competition — so the fruit worshipers put up with a crummy, dated interface, while we robots have a slick new UI with laggy, unreliable performance. having overpowered hardware certainly makes up for that but can't compensate entirely for Google's slapped together coding (not only in Android). I haven't used WP8 extensively, but I expect it will ultimately eclipse the shortcomings of both iOS and Android.
I'm seeing a more mixed picture of the A6's performance in the iPhone 5 in Anandtech's N4/N10 preliminary CPU test: http://www.anandtech.com/show/6425/google-nexus-4-and-nexus-...
And in their GPU test, the iPhone 5 and iPad 3 (not even the 4) fare very well in most of the benchmarks: http://www.anandtech.com/show/6425/google-nexus-4-and-nexus-...

+5 votesI just read up on the Google Nexus 10. It looks outstanding. 4.1m pixels is beyond belief tbh. I would have been over the moon to see 1920 x 1200p. As a happy ipad 3 user, I will be getting a Nexus 10 asap. $469/16gb and $569/32gb is a great price for all those features IMO.

as a current new ipad (not the NEW new ipad) owner, which one should i choose. i lean to nexus 7 for its convenice, but i am not sure if the screen is good enough for my retina spoiled eyes. how is the the screen of nexus 10/7 compared to retina? (i am not talking about the unattractive ipad mini)
- warwick108 on 30/10/2012 - 14:46 ¶
i have the tf300t and the screen sucks compared to the ipad 3 my old man has,
i was planning to change due to this, but now have the nexus 10 to look foward too =)
+1 voteGood luck trying to get a quick turnaround from Kogan when you need claim warranty.
I purchased a IP web camera from them. Within 3hrs of usage it stopped working. I had to email them because they did not list their helpdesk phone # on their website. It took them 3 days to reply to my emails (that was after I sent a followup email asking wtf). Then it took them another 5 days to send me the warranty return process email. Then it took them another 3 days to send me a postage return label… In the email, they offered a replacement, I told them where to stick it and asked for a refund because I didn't want to wait that long if they camera plays up again.
I'm still waiting for the refund….

You're in the minority I think. If you really want FM radio, I would suggest just buying a $5 pocket FM tuner.

Because 4G is only available to a small group of people - it's expensive for the consumer, it's an extra expense in the construction (that few will use), and it's an extra drain on the battery.

- +2 votessuperforever on 30/10/2012 - 09:54 ¶
The same spec as S3, who will pay $600 for it.
Only no 4G.
you do realise branding make the price different right? Just like how LG phones was never more expensive than Samsung, HTC never more expensive than Samsung.
S2,S3 are OEM products. Nexus is google product with made by a manufacturer. Just like the Apple products. Apple will not reduce their iPhones price until new gen comes out.
So S3 will stable at a price range, until S4 comes out it will drop again.

There are a number of technical reasons why the SD card isn't a good idea. Slow, fragments the storage, apps on it don't behave the same as apps in internal storage, etc.
Most users put in a card then forget about it. Users who do swap cards a lot are often using it to copy data from their computers, or from other SD capable devices (cameras etc); there are other ways to do both of these tasks: cables, via the net/cloud, or using a USB OTG adapter.
If you want the extra storage, you're normally better of just buying the phone with more storage to start with.
