ASUS Nexus 7 32GB tablet now available in Australia

I read the press release from ASUS which I found interesting for two reasons.

"ASUS today advises that a 32GB Nexus 7 tablet is now available in Australian retail stores, offering even more storage options for the popular 7inch, quad-core tablet featuring Google’s Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.
Nexus 7 is designed to go wherever you go – and now with up to 32GB of storage, the Nexus 7 can take users even further. The new 32GB model will be available for purchase for a recommended price of AUD$319; the 16GB model will continue to be sold in Australia for AUD$269."

The first is it would be good if ASUS would also publish this information on their site and for their site to contain the latest information. The site only mentions the 8GB/16GB models so has not been updated to reflect the latest information. For me this reflects poorly on ASUS.

The second is the pricing. The Google Play store lists the 16GB/32GB models for $249 and $299 respectively. This is certainly going to put retailers with stores at a disadvantage and potentially hurt their reputation. In the end stores will probably price match so perhaps not a big deal.

I did notice one online site selling the Nexus 7 for $229/$269 for the 16GB/32GB units respectively, so it does pay to shop around on the Internet.
