Yea chrome crashed a lot. It's many versions behind the desktop. I still don't understand why Google decided to make it the default when it's not ready. I'd suggest using other browsers like Dolphin imo. Otoh, AOSP Android browser is rock solid...
Depends on how important battery life is to you I guess. For my usage, a tablet can't ever replace a full power 13" laptop. With Win8 pro. it's basically a slower laptop with about the same battery life. The only advantage is touch screen, very slight smaller physical dimensions and weight.
But is chrome crashing and the tablet crashing the same thing? The tablet restarts itself when it crashes.
They can be related, mine sure crashed less when I wasn't using chrome at all. But don't expect your tablet not crashing at all. Like I said, mine wasn't totally stable until I went to AOSP rom. Now I see my tablet crash like once in the last two weeks.
Got a Fintie case finally. It's 10 bucks on ebay and about 15 on Amazon. I'd prefer tri folding cover but every other cover I found has some flaw. This one works well enough for a cheap case -- you have a few color options, doesn't cover up speakers, has auto wake/sleep function.

YAY! There's now a plugin/app for Firefox that lets it Save Links to download files on my Nexus 10.
For some reason stock Firefox didn't have the Save Link option when I would hold down on a link for a podcast or other files.

This thing is beautiful. Any cases that snap into the back opening?
I picked up one of these for now.

Also, any docks or magnetic chargers?

Been thinking of buying a tablet for the last few days, and I'm mostly settled on the Nexus 10 so far.
However, I mostly want this for use on the bus (on which I spend ~1.5 hours a day), so is there a 3G/cellular version planned?

seems like it is at Google store? US anyway...
I'm in the UK, seems permanently out of stock on the UK Play store.
The 16GB was in stock for a week at the beginning of January.
I ordered this and it should be here tomorrow. I've been loving the tablet. It's been fast, stable, and really useful for me. I just wish that GSL had an Android app. It's crazy that they don't.
There are tons of apps to do it, but is there a website where you can sign up to get email stock alerts when they're in stock? I don't really want to have an app running in the background on my phone all the time (battery life sucks enough as it is) so email alerts would be great.
Seems to be exclusive to Google over here in the UK.
Well it seems back in store in EuropeTime to start looking for a nice cover!
Not really

Well, at least UK & Spain...
Really enjoying the tablet, Pretty much have found the same apps or suitable replacements for my apps and games from the iPad2. Chrome is jacked up, first day I had several crashes.Once I disabled it and installed the beta everything was peachy.
I remember someone mentioning a emulator coming to android that covers several systems and its free. Anyone remember?

24 hours after getting the tablet and I am already thinking of returning it.
It turns out that 40MHz support for 802.11N (in 2.4GHz band) is fucked up. The tablet doesn't work, or just gets random disconnects with any network with the 40MHz option enabled.
And most, if not all, new WiFi routers come with that option enabled...
Edit: Well, it seems it only happens when WPA or WPA2 are using AES. As AES is a requirement in most routers to get some of the high speed modes of 802.11N.

Retroarch.
It seems to work great. I've tried Genesis, SNES, Doom 2 and Cave Story and they all run fine. Using it with my sixaxis controller.
Thanks. I will try it this weekend. But I'm not really optimistic, Nexus WiFi drivers are binaries, so they will be the same.

r3:
* Merge new ROW IO scheduler patches
* Merge new Wi-Fi driver from Google
* Merge a few fixes from Google (video memory allocator, cgroups subsystem)
* Some adjustments to the Interactive tunables to make the system more responsive and possibly improve video playback smoothness & gaming

Ugh, so while on vacation my Nexus 10 got into a boot-loop where it would ask for the encryption password, start to boot, then reset and ask for the password again. I had to do a factory reset from recovery mode. Apparently from some forum posts I found the Nexus 10 is prone to having this happen when using device encryption.
Thankfully having it synced with my Google account it re-downloaded my installed apps and I just had to add my work account and set up my widgets again. I had to manually install the Amazon App Store and Humble Bundle app and games as well. Not as painful as it could have been, all things considered.

Not really. You could download app to use USB OTG or use custom rom. I use it when I'm traveling and need to access a lot of media that even a 32G won't be able to hold...

I have a 16GB and never any issues with storage. But then again, I don't keep anything on there except a few apps and some movies I download from Giant Bomb.
Thanks then
I will check it today as soon as I get home.
----- Update -----
I can say the new drivers fix (for me) some of the problems when connecting to 40MHz Access Points (one of them is working better, the other still does not connect).
But still, it's difficult to watch Youtube videos without the video stopping a couple of times. it doesnt happen with my phone, laptop or desktop pc.
I already called google to ask for a replacement. Hope the next one works well. I would hate to go for an Ipad
Just replaced my 7" tablet with a Nexus 10, no more scrolling or zooming in, so good. Also dat screen, I regret nothing.
