Speaking of tablets, I've rooted my Kindle Fire and am currently running Jelly Bean. So much better than Amazon's crap custom android interface. Fast as hell.

PS: I think I have to disagree that 10" is the sweet spot for tablets. A lot of my reading is done sitting around with a cup of coffee in one hand and the Kindle Fire in the other. You can't do that with a 10 incher. You also can't easily thumb type like you can with a 7", and 10" tablets are just not as comfortable to hold for extended periods of time. I think both sizes need to be available to suit different uses.

True, I do find the screen size of the Nexus to be more than adequate. The iPad 3 has an absolutely beautiful screen, but I would imagine in the near future Tablets will start to mimic Apple's resolution and the line between the devices will be blurred.

I think just giving its current tablet (nxs 7) an increase in screen size would be a good move for them even if its the same spec.

They could, but after seeing Apples Retina Display, 1280 x 800 is simply too dated of a resolution to put on a 10" device. The difference between the iPad 2 and 3's display is staggering.
