The Nexus 7, Google’s entry to the tablet market, has landed on US shores and is off to a hot start. Major retailers are already running out of the 7-incher on just the first day of the tablet’s availability. No surprise here given the immense demand for the Nexus 7 since its announcement.
Retailers like GameStop already ripped through their first two allotments of the tablet while New York-based Adorama said that the Nexus 7 has sold out. Pre-orders offered by the two retailers have a tentative ship date of mid-August and this seems to be inline with other retail chains as well.
