16GB Nexus 7 Sold Out On Google Play Store 262
hypnosec writes "Just days after it was officially made available on Google Play, Google's Nexus 7 16GB version has been sold out and is not available for order. Google's probable answer to Amazon's Kindle has been selling like hot cakes from day one, and was available with two different amounts on-board storage: 8GB and 16GB. Considering that people now-a-days want more space on their portable computing device, the 16GB version was selling more than its 8GB sibling. Another reason for the 16GB to outsell the 8GB variant is that the price difference between the two is just $50."

Tablets are different. Your average American isn't comparing the Google price to a substadized price, instead they are seeing you can buy a $200 tablet from Google, a $200 tablet from Amazon, a $400 high end Android tablet or a $500 low-end tablet from Apple.

If you drop a movie or two on it, you have no room left for your music, pictures, and other apps / data.
PROTIP: don't copy entire DVDs/BluRays to your device, encode to MKV at 720p to reduce a movie down to about 1GB. Also has the added benefit of stripping out all the pointless unskippable rubbish before the movie starts.
