Waiting patiently for the Nexus 10 to be available here. Anyone else looking at getting one of these?

I am for the screen as well. But like others; I really need a keyboard dock. Why don't all big tablet makers learn from the Transformer? Or is it only geeks who like that thing? But for the resolution the Nexus 10 is too good to not buy.

Given the number of pogo pins, they must be for both power & USB, so a keyboard dock is quite possible. (If it is just power, the dock could use bluetooth.

If the Nexus 10 is successful, somebody will make a keyboard dock for it. I'm almost confident enough of that to buy a Nexus 10 today and use my bluetooth keyboard for the time being.

While I'm confident somebody will make a keyboard dock, I'm not as confident that it will be a GOOD dock. So I'm going to wait for a bit.

Well yeah, that's my reasoning as well. I really like the transformer dock but it can be better. When I dock I want to go for some serious work so it doesn't have to be THAT portable (like the transformer). I hope it's successful or that a transformer-like comes with the same resolution.

I am.. Hopefully, get the 32GB, if I can purchase it during the window. I wish, however, if they offered an unlocked 3G model too(I can live without LTE). I will have to use freedompop for now.

Nexus 10 appears to be available in the UK, but the page for the 3G version just gets you a "We're sorry, there was an error. Please try again later."

Not very impressive!

I want it for the screen. I really want a keyboard dock with it (like the Asus Transformer) and am going to look into designing one or having one designed and having it printed at something like shapeways if they don't bring one to retail.

The thought of putting Ubuntu on that, with that screen, is much too much to pass up.

I agree. If I could get a keyboard dock for the Nexus 10 I'd buy it in an instant. Ever since I got my transformer I have decided the KB dock is a prereq for my buying a tablet.
