Binary value = Nexus 10

There were two kinds of Google Nexus 10 purchasers as a result of the 11/13 launch. The ones who ordered early got theirs today, everybody else, next Monday :-)

I got my big tools out to open the package but it turned out I didn’t need them. I was going to read the instructions but I found the power button and the tablet woke up and presented my wireless network to me. I entered my WEP key, my Google account info, and I’m ready to rock and roll! First impressions? Stunning!

SlideShow (The Tablet)

I bought the new Nexus 10 tablet from Google yesterday. When it arrives I will carefully unpack it and post the photos here. This is a big deal for me as I have resisted all of the tablets and smartphones that have come before.

I’ve been a computer pioneer for many decades, a computer science degree in 1971 and I bought the very first IBM personal computer in 1981, before many of you were born. I’ve been on the cutting edge of technology since, yet over the last few years I’ve let the smartphone and tablet markets evolve without jumping in.

Now I’m in… We’ll see how your Apple hardware compares to an Android device in the hands of an old guru. The next step is to hook it up with a cellular network and a smart phone. Stay tuned, I’m sure many upcoming posts will evolve from this technology :-)
