The Santa-killing bug that removed December from the People’s app in Android 4.2 has been fixed with an update. Android 4.2.1 is now rolling out to the Nexus 4 and Nexus 10 and will return December just in time for, well… December. While it only appears to be rolling out to those two particular devices at this time, we’re sure the Nexus 7 and Galaxy Nexus are soon to follow.

Google is only hours away from stockpiling the Play store with Nexi galore. Sometime after midnight (PST) the Nexus 4, Nexus 10, and Nexus 7 32GB/3G are expected to go on sale here in the US. Rumors have already been flying around that the Australia Play Store quickly sold out, and judging by the giddy schoolgirl reactions I’m seeing on Google+, I’d say the same will happen here in the states.

Now that Google has unveiled its Trifecta of Nexus devices, I can’t help but feel underwhelmed. I can’t exactly pin-point why I feel this way, but alas, I do. Perhaps my perception of what a Nexus device should represent has become misguided. I’m not sure when I began to expect more than just a Vanilla experience, but the latest batch of Nexus devices has knocked me back to the reality that “Nexus” means nothing more than having an untainted Android OS with certain end-user freedoms and timely updates.

The Nexus 10 is next on our list of Nexus devices announced by Google today. Unlike the smaller Nexus 7 tablet, the Nexus 10 features 10-inches (10.55-inches to be exact) of WQXGA 2560 x 1600 display (300 ppi) goodness. This, of course, increases the price of the device, taking it well out of the sub-$300 tablet category that’s been spoiling us.

Today, Google announced two new Nexus tablets — the Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 — which will go head-to-head with more established competitors like the iPad, the iPad mini and the Kindle Fire HD. But how do they stack up?
