What, no 3 hour long livestreamed press event? edit: oh, they had one planned in NY, cancelled due to the hurricane

It was cancelled due to the hurricane. The event was going to be in New York.

Odd they announced it anyway. Could you imagine Apple having to cancel an event then just throwing the specs up on their website?

> But what makes Nexus 10 unique is that it's the first truly shareable tablet. With Android 4.2, you can add multiple users and switch between them instantly right from the lockscreen. We believe that everyone should have quick and easy access to their own stuff -- email, apps, bookmarks, and more. That way, everyone can have their own home screens, their own music, and even their own high scores.

Someone forgot to tell their marketing team: http://www.google.com/nexus/ Edit: Basically the website still has old info about old devices.

Maybe they're evacuated--these devices were supposed to debut at an event in NYC that was cancelled because of Hurricane Sandy.
