32GB Nexus 7 tablets appear at retail with $249 price tag

Ahead of Google's Android event on the 29th there's additional confirmation of a storage upgrade for the Nexus 7, as 32GB units have now been spotted on shelves at US retailers. Seemingly dead-set on matching the LG E960 "Mako" Nexus G for the title of worst-kept secret, we've received this photo of a tag for the new unit at a Sam's Club (with a placeholder price), while reports on Android Central and The Verge mention hardware spotted at Staples locations with one person actually succeeding in buying one. All of that follows a listing on the Staples website and one Japanese buyer apparently receiving one early by accident. According to the tags and receipts the new units are scheduled to go on sale the same day as the Android event, and at the same $249 price of the current 16GB model.

I was thinking about getting a Nexus 7 (The pricing of the RT is really dissuading me from that) and this is making my decision easier and easier, hopefully this means the current models will drop in price as well.

Has Android got a good range of apps designed for the tablet devices yet? I know in the past it's been a low amount.

Well, because android devices already come in a wide variety of screen resolutions, in a way most apps are designed for tablets.

I really couldn't say though since I don't have an Android Tablet myself.

Every app I've downloaded works fine except flight sim

The only App I know that isn't really made for Tablets is the Million Pound Drop Live app which doesn't fit the screen. Other than that, most are fully optimised.
