[Rumor] Next Nexus 10 Tablet will be Asus-Made and Not Samsung; Coming Holidays 2013

[dgstorm]

This particular bit of info flies in the face of our previous report, but is just plausible enough to be worth sharing. According to new sources, the next Nexus 10 Android tablet will not be made by Samsung, but will instead be an Asus-made product. Additionally, this same source confirmed that the tablet will be coming out later on this year, just in time for the holidays, and will come to both the Google Play Store and Best Buy.

It's difficult to really buy this intel because the previous report seemingly came straight from Google's own Sundar Pichai, straight to Amir Efrati of the Wall Street Journal. Of course, it is possible that Mr. Pichai said a Nexus 10 was coming and that Mr. Efrati simply assumed it was coming from Samsung again. Of course, we can't/shouldn't assume that, so for now this will file squarely in the "highly unlikely yet still possible" section of the filing cabinet.

What do you guys think? Would you be more apt to buy a Nexus 10 made by Asus over Samsung, or does it really matter much to you who makes it?

Google’s Nexus program is always a swirling abyss of different rumors before the devices actually come out. Now with the Nexus 10 coming due for a refresh, we’re back to that same game. Geek.com is now also reporting that this year’s Nexus 10 will be manufactured by ASUS. While ASUS would probably be up to the challenge of creating the Nexus 10, this rumor might not be true. It seems that Samsung has already grabbed that spot. We’ll have to see how it all pans out. Whoever makes it, I’d say focus on reducing the price to improve sales. Get that sucker down to $299 for the 16 GB and $349 for the 32GB and I think you’ll have a smash hit.
