Google took the world by storm by releasing the Nexus 7, which has been incredibly popular but the larger screen size end of the market doesn't really have anything in the same league without talking about the iPad.

Well, the Nexus 10 is set to change that with a 10-inch 2560x1600-pixel display, a dual-core 1.7GHz Samsung Exynos 5250, Mali-T604 GPU, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage (no word on expandable storage via microSD), a 5-megapixel rear-facing snapper, NFC, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0.

We're talking "Retina"-like screen res here, at 298.9 pixels per inch, baby. The tablet will be used to usher in Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, meaning that this is just a slight jump in the OS and not a leap like some were hoping. Android 4.1 is still the best Android OS out to date, so Android 4.2 will be a nice evolution of that.

Expect the Nexus 10 to be announced on October 29 at Google's NYC-based event, and we'll be covering it as much as we can, as usual.
