The Google Nexus 10 tablet is here running 4.2 Jelly Bean OS,

2560x1600 HD display (I think it's AMOLED),

So you "think" its AMOLED when the article you linked to said....

"There's no confirmation of rumors that the display uses AMOLED rather than IPS technology,"

Besides that, Android has never been known to have great graphics performance. I can't imagine how bad the GPU performance will be on this thing.

$499. The price points smoke Apple for this quality of a display.

Without actually seeing the display, or knowing anything about the graphics performance?

Who would be nuts enough to buy a RetinaLESS $329 iPad mini/iPod Touch

XL when for only $70 more, they can have a 10" HD display greater than

Apple's latest iPad?

Yeah, so who ever buy a media player that you can fit in your pocket (i.e. the iPod Touch) instead of a 10" tablet..... I don't think they make armbands large enough for a tablet....

But, but, but, can you run Office or Excel in the iPod touch? Can you even run them on the big iPods? Errr - iPads?

Yes.
