So I saw the specs on the Nexus 10... Im considering purchasing one but I was comparing it to the Nexus 7 and the Nexus 10 is dual core, while the 7 is quad core... Odd?? Does it matter?

I think that it would be slower than the N7, but I could be wrong...

Does anyone know where to buy a Nexus 7 besides online? I am getting multiple giftcards for Christmas and there is no way to make purchases online with more than one card. Thanks.

Ding ding ding..... there should be a Chrome/Android/Google Store with a Genius Bar....
Will it ever happen???

I'm just googling here I'm not sure of chip specs anymore.. I stopped following years ago. .
Sandy,
Has the microsoft store done well ? If it has then MAYbe in certain cities I could see a google store and would love ONE! but they need more products first..

Dunno about the Microsoft stores. I think the Apple Store was one of Steve Jobs' most genius ideas ever. In reading his biography, I found that he chose every little detail about the first stores, including what kind of glass they used, what type of flooring materials.

The problem with Microsoft and Google stores is the same thing that makes Apple so infuriating. Who makes the hardware? How much control can you have over a product named Samsung or Motorola?

I have the highest of hopes for Google products. But I still like the security of being able to walk into a genius bar if I have a problem. For my phone, it's not as big of a deal, because the life span is only a year or two. But I hope to keep a computer five years, so I appreciate the Apple Store and the customer service number for AppleCare's convenience.

I need a new laptop.. and want a macmini..
I love my macbookpro 08 more importantly osX but the price point just isn't Kosher...
My mbp "fell off a truck or a plane" and it cost $500... How to reproduce that score for a brand new kixk arss computer I haven't figured out.

hardware these days is pretty much interchangeable, if you want a macbook, you could technically go over to newegg and nab a cheap laptop with no OS, and buy a copy of OSX separate....as most of the money you pay for a true macbook is in the glowing fruit on the back of the thing.

No matter what I get at this point it needs hdmi.. My main use for a laptop these days are movies or television shows.
My phone or tablet handles everything else which is why I wouldn't actually buy a mbp.

This is one of the reasons I am still with Sprint. Unlimited still means unlimited with them. Dad and I both have a smartphone, and yeah they're charging that additional 10 bux a month for it, but that's tolerable considering the overall plan prices. I'm still waiting to see what happens with the recent purchase of Sprint tho.

If Sprint or Nextel only had a signal other than along I-75 and major routes, I'd consider them. In the South, AT&T and Verizon are the only games in town and Verizon is two bars ahead of AT&T on most rural roads.

Lived in Valdosta for several years, my parents are still there and I visit regularly. All 3 of us are on Sprint. I never have any signal problems when I am in town visiting them. They never have signal problems anywhere in town. Briefly there were issues getting a signal out at Moody, but even that's been resolved now.
