Honestly I don't see why anyone would be excited about this if they already have a Android tablet? The only thing that really looks good is the screen. If you watched the video there is lag when the pages are turned in the magazine app. I could understand if this was done on older hardware but when brand new just released has lag then there is a problem. I think the nexus 7 is a better device.
This is just my opinion though. I have a 4g xoom that I use every day for work and play that does excellent. The only device that looks good enough to replace it is the galaxy note 10.1 if it ever comes to Verizon.

The true successor will come from Motorola and no one else, I don't blame google for not having SD card, No nexus have any why give ammo to Microsoft to sue for fat 32, Next year when Google release their Motorola brand tablet and phone we will see a first. 5.0, lte, SD card with f2fs the new format from samsung , both hardware and software will be Google true first product..

hahaha

no....they tried that with the Xoom 2 and failed horribly.

The Xoom was the G1 of tablets; a google experience device, a pre-Nexus device. The Nexus 10 is to the Xoom as the Nexus One was to the G1.

Branding is irrelevant.

And between the G1 and the Nexus One, you had the original T-Mobile MyTouch 3G and the original Motorola Droid which were the lead "Google Experience" devices for Android 1.6 and 2.0 respectively. :)

Why not? Even LG did a Nexus device, I still believe Google will make a new Motorola Nexus, because they bought the whole Motorola Mobility, they can easily control how the device will be done. And Xoom 2 was built before Motorola acquisition.

Why not what?

The point I was making was that the Xoom's successor did not need to be a Motorola device. The Nexus 10 is the first 10" GED/Nexus device since the Xoom and that's why it is, IMO, the first successor to the Xoom. The Xoom 2 may have shared the name but that's about it. Again, the point I'm making is that we finally have a new 10" Google device. OEM is irrelevant. What matters is that it is a Google/Nexus device.

I remain under the belief that "Google Experience Device" and "Nexus" are NOT the same. The Xoom is a GED - vanilla Android and a Honeycomb demonstration piece, but Motorola included 2 silly pieces of non-removable bloat ware in the form of games. Nexus products do not allow this. This further explains why the JB updates to the Xoom have been watered down, to make obvious that this is not a Nexus device. The absence of the "X" boot animation makes a clear statement to this fact.

Except that the VZW Galaxy Nexus includes the My Verizon and Backup Assistant apps. ;)

I thought we already determined from the toro discussions that those were necessary inclusions.:D

They are, but they still fall outside "Google Experience". I guess I was just playing devil's advocate. I have a tendency to do that when I haven't had my morning coffee yet. ;)
