Walmart shoppers, watch out for the beast! Days before the tablet is supposed to launch on November 13th, a Walmart store had the Samsung built 32 GB Google Nexus 10 on sale for $499. The slate has a 10 inch screen with a whopping resolution of 2560 x 1600 which produces a pixel density of 300ppi, enough to overtake the 2048 x 1536 resolution on the third and fourth-generation Apple iPad.
The Google Nexus 10 was spotted at a Walmart
Unlike the Google Nexus 7, which was produced to challenge the low-priced 7 inch Amazon Kindle Fire HD, the Google Nexus 10 is the first Android tablet that was designed to take on the full-sized Apple iPad. The person who spotted the tablet is obviously up on his mobile device news, enough to know that seeing a Google Nexus 10 on the shelves at Walmart before next week, was worth snapping a picture of it.
There is no telling whether or not Walmart would have sold the tablet a few days before the official launch, but it was on display with a price which points toward the store making the sale had it been tested. You might want to scan your local Walmart to see if you can find the Google Nexus 10 on the shelf. If you don't see it, no tears. The launch date is set for Tuesday, after all.
今天正式在歐美等地開售的 Nexus 4 及 Nexus 10，有網友發現已同步登陸澳洲的 Google Play Store，除此之外，Nexus 4 專用的手機防撞邊殼亦同樣在 Google Play 有售，售價為 $20 美金，預計手機在亞洲地區推出的時候，這款官方的保護殼亦會同步推出，不過到底什麼時候才會在亞洲地區推出呢？仍然有待公佈。
One of the new features of Android 4.2 that hasn't gotten much mention recently is the new "Daydream" mode. It hasn't gotten much play because unlike the other major updates like the gesture keyboard, Daydream mode is a flashy extra, but it is quite a nice one. If you've gotten the Android 4.2 update, you'll find Daydream kind of hidden in Settings>Display>Daydream.
It is essentially a screensaver, although it will only turn on under certain conditions. You can set your Android device to start Daydreaming either when the device is docked, when it is charging, or both. As the Daydream mode, users can choose between having the device display the clock, shifting colors, Google Currents headlines, or photos.
The clock and colors are fairly basic (although the clock has a nice feature to set the display to a "very dim mode", which is great for a bedside table), but this may be the first interesting use of Google Currents that we've seen. Currents has always been somewhat overshadowed by other apps that do the same sort of thing like Flipboard, Pulse News, or Feedly. Unfortunately, we say it is an interesting use of Currents because it isn't exactly useful. While it is nice to see the headline scroll of Currents in Daydream, it isn't interactive at all, so you can't tap an interesting headline to jump into the story. So, the whole thing ends up feeling a bit pointless.
Photos can be displayed in two different modes, either a slideshow, or as a "photo table" (basically a collage). For either option, users can choose to show photos that are on the device, or select any or all of your Google+/Picasa photo albums to cycle through. That is a great option for anyone who uses Google+/Picasa, or keeps all of their photos on their Android device at all times. But, if you use Flickr, Facebook, or Instagram, and don't keep copies on your device, this feature won't really do much for you.
Overall, Daydream mode is a nice new feature, and we can see some pretty interesting potential there for offering more options, but it definitely feels like a first attempt, and there is a reason why the feature is a bit buried. We'd love to see more services be able to hook into it, and we'd love to see the displays be more interactive, especially with headlines.
16GB Google Nexus 10 back in stock at U.S. Google Play Store
On Friday night, we told you that the 16GB Google Nexus 10was sold out at the Google Play Store. We don't know whether another box of the tablet was found in the corner collecting dust, but a visit to the Google Play Store on Sunday morning revealed that the device is back in stock. Actually, that might be in the U.S. only as the U.K. store still has the "Sold Out" sign displayed.
You don't get too many second chances in life, so if you were planning on buying the 16GB Google Nexus 10, with the mouth-watering 2560 x 1600 resolution and the 300ppi pixel density, you might want to grab it now before it gets sold out again. At $399 for an Android tablet with a display that surpasses the 264ppi of the third and fourth-generation Apple iPad, you know that this model will be sold out again before too long.
Just wanted to confirm that Nexus 4 is currently our only Nexus device that works with Miracast wireless display on Android 4.2. There was a reference to wireless display on our Help site for Nexus 10, but we’ve since removed that reference. Our apologies for any confusion that may have caused.
