wow, it's way more expensive than the nexus 7. $330 vs $200 for the bottom.

Nexus 7 is again way more expensive than $99 China made android tablets. Depends on build quality and brand. A too low price-point would cannibalize iPads.

$200 Nexus 7 has 8Gb storage, iPad mini base model has 16Gb. I still think $330 is a little high though.

wait a week.

the 16GB Nexus 7 will drop to $200, with the 32GB release.

Have you heard anything about what they plan to do with the 8gb when this happens? I've heard they'll stop making them, but it'd be nice to buy one of the leftover stock at a reduced price. I have an 8GB and it's fine for my needs (still 4.7gb free) since I mostly use it for online content.

appears to already be sold out now

It's a shame that the Nexus doesn't have a micro-SD slot; they've given up a huge selling point for the platform. They could've bragged about a 64+ GB Nexus 7 that is still cheaper than a 16 GB iPad mini.
