If your parents got a new tablet for Christmas, what apps are you installing for them? I realized many of my favorite apps wouldn't be useful for them, but I have installed the following:
IMDB
Flixter (for watching trailors)
Skype
TED (in hopes they watch some education videos)

Nothing but laud for this tablet in the score summary, yet the app ecosystem knocks 18 points to make the N10 barely above average, despite class leading specs and the most complete version of Android to date.

Rather than just complain about the numbers I decided to actually read the first 5 reviews of the Apple iPad Gen 4, Gen 3, iPad Mini, Samsung Nexus 10, Asus Nexus 7, and Kindle Paperwhite.

Looks like bad weather isn't stopping Google http://media.gdgt.com/img/products/473/a5nt/a5nt-460.jpg Nexus 4: 8GB for $299; 16GB for $349; available unlocked and without a contract on 11/13 on the Google Play store in U.S., U.K., Australia, France, Germany, Spain and Canada. The 16GB version will also be available through T-Mobile for $199, with a 2-year contract (check here for more details).
