Nexus 7 sells out across the USA

It’s an amazing feat to behold when a company makes a device so popular that it sells out in one store, much less the entirety of the USA – but that’s what Google is doing with the Nexus 7. This ASUS-manufactured tablet appears very much to be capturing the imaginations – and pocketbooks – of users across the United States as well as the UK as retailers both offline and online are showing sold out signs galore. From what we understand it appears that 3rd party retailers are “frantically” attempting to get more units in stock as ASUS and Google make moves to make it all happen smoothly.

Have used an Asus notebook for several years. No issue but am migrating all my personal IM/IT inventory to Apple over the next year.

I have no dig in this hunt, because I have a lovely 10” HP TouchPad I got for $99 last Sept. But as nice as these purchases are, is Google actually making much money on them? Because Apple is making a KILLING on iPads.

While the Nexus 7 tablet is an interesting device, it’s still nowhere as flexible as an Apple iPad—especially with the gigantic iOS ecosystem bechind it.

I still use a NET10 Wireless Jihad Phone and do quite well, thank you. I have high speed Internet at home and at work - I’m not sure what more I need.

I’ve developed droid apps. I’ve developed apps that sell in the apple store.

My best advice to anyone would be to buy all the Apple stock you can afford.
