And someone finally implements the killer-feature for the "Family Tablet": Multi-Account Support: > 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 ca…

Flagship Android device, unlocked, without contract, for $299. Impressive. From the marketing video it looks like Android 4.2 gained Swype-like keyboard.

The 16 GB version is $399.
Now I have to decide between the Nexus 4 and the Droid Razr Maxx HD :-/

[edit]Correction - magazines now available in Canada (Woohoo!) they just didn't say so. Now, can we please have google music?
