Hurricane Sandy cancelled the October 29th debut in New York City for the 10-inch version of the best selling Android tablet since July. Still Google issued a low-key press release to introduce the Nexus 10. Co-developed by Samsung and Google, the Nexus 10 features a high-quality display of 300 pixels per inch on account of its 10.1-inch screen with 2,560 x 1,600 pixel resolution, a powerful dual-core 1.7GHz Samsung Exynos 5250 processor with 2GB of RAM, and the latest Android 4.2 Jelly Bean operating system. The 16 GB version has a $399 price tag, while the version with 32GB of storage costs $100 more. Both models will be available November 13th.
