While technically accurate, I have to say that the statement above is misleading at best.
The N10 is priced at $399 for 16GB and $499 for 32GB.
Apple offers two models with 16GB, one at $399, the other at $499. Their 32GB model is $599.
While one of Apple's three models does offer the same storage capacity for the same price, that is the older iPad 2 model, with less than half the resolution of the Nexus 10.
The retina iPad, which is the closest comparable to the Nexus 10 is $100 more for a given amount of storage. That additional $100 for the same amount of storage represents a premium price.
So the choice is to either go back two generations for an iPad at the same price as the latest and greatest Android tablet with the same storage capacity or pay more for the latest iPad.
