Though the official launch of the Google Nexus 7 tablet is delayed by Hurricane Sandy, pricing news is available because retailers already are advertising them.
The 32GB Nexus 7 is priced at $249 and the 16GB version is priced at $199 at Office Depot, Droid Life reports.
The prices are not terribly surprising, given trends in the broader market, especially pricing of Amazon devices in similar form factors.
Tablet computers will see an explosion in sales over the next four years, selling 60 percent as many units as PCs by 2015, Gartner predicts.
Most analysts predict that PCs will outsell tablets for quite some time. Forrester Research has estimated that in 2015, PCs, including notebooks and desktop units, still will outsell tablets in the U.S. market by a better than two-to-one margin.
