That is why the DEVELOPER preview is being released now - to give us chance to write some apps for it
Are there any decent keyboard docks for the N10? I've not been particularly interested in the N10 until this Ubuntu announcement - but now am tempted to get one to have a poke.
32Gb now in stock.
Just bagged one myself.
Me too

Well exactly, if nobody develops apps for it then it's dead in the water
To those Nexus 10 users who have rooted, I recommend a few apps that will allow you to browse fullscreen and use more of that lovely screen... Was a pretty big niggle of mine that on the highest res tablet display images were scaled too big and you can see no more of a webpage than on a phone...
Take a look...
Normal browsing:
Browsing with a few choice apps:
As you can see, probably more than twice the viewable area. I know there are other "fullscreen" browsers but imo AOSP is the smoothest, quickest and the fullscreen controls are awesome.
The first thing you will need is one of many statusbar hiding apps, I use GMD gesture control, this is a paid app but makes it the easiest imo to bring the bars back when you need them. full!screen is another good one.
The second thing you will need is my modified browser this is the normal AOSP browser with one important tweak, once you have followed the steps in the post webpages will render at a much more natural, sharp resolution allowing you to view much more actual webpage. Activate "quick controls" in the browser options and now every last pixel of your screen is dedicated to webpages
That's it, I personally use LMT for that pie on the right to use most of the functions that would be hidden with the statusbar.

Mine is out for delivery! Reading some of the comments, what should I look for before signing? Open the box it's in to make sure it is all new and undamaged? And if it isn't just refuse the delivery? Or should I accept it if it looks second hand and then deal directly with google to get the replacement sent out?
I'm leaning towards refusing if damaged, and dealing with google if it is already opened, since that way I would get sent a proper box and tracing number to return it with, while if I simply refuse the delivery, who knows where it will end up and I can foresee arguments with google about getting a replacement. Thanks!

Mine arrived yesterday lunchtime ( <24 hours after ordering ). Exterior packaging wasn't great - just a jiffy bag - however the box itself is pretty sturdy and TNT appeared to have done a decent job and not bashed it around at all.
Once inside the jiffy bag, the security seals on the Nexus 10 box were intact, and as far as I can tell it is brand spanking new.
I've got a little backlight bleed in the bottom right hand corner of mine but not enough to bother me.
Really, really happy with my purchase. Definitely glad I waited for the 32GB model, I'd be out of space if I'd gone for the 16GB one.
Now, what apps to get to maximise the experience?

Root and the browser post above!
Honestly though, rooting and at least hiding the statusbar is great... There's something that just looks better about using the whole screen for games and browsing.
Also to note, since the 4.2.2 I have not crashed once
EDIT: Think I might give ubuntu a try this weekend.

Mine arrived, packaging seemed fine so signed for it. Only just got around to opening the bag and the seals were both broken. Tablet seems OK, all the plastic bits are on it, battery was charged to 60% not sure what I will do. It seems new, but who knows. I might wait until I get home to test the backlight bleed issue, and if there is lots get it swapped since it was send opened.
My replacement N10 had seals broken but that has no relevance to me, the tablet seemed new and works fine.
There is backlight bleed on my replacement but an acceptable level to me. Don't get me wrong, there shouldn't be any bleed but with the bleed it's still better than any other tablet out there.

OcUK, rate my bleed!

Both pictures taken with the terrible camera on my wildfire S in the pitch dark and brightness at 100%. I know little of these things, and haven't been using the tablet for long enough to know if something like that would be an issue. I know that I will generally be using it in the light, mostly on the commute to work and as a means of entertainment over lunchtimes. But equally, I don't mind waiting a short while to get a replacement tablet if this seems like an extreme amount of bleed.

No crashes since the Google update. No backlight bleed on mine. A few months after purchase and I still love it. Only thing I miss from a laptop perspective if managing my iPod and the slow charge time, so I may invest in a pogo charger
Agreed, that's as good as you can hope for really.
Has anyone managed to get USB sticks formatted as NTFS working with ther USB OTG adapter? One of my smaller USB sticks formatted as FAT32 works OK using Stickmount (the N10 is rooted), however my 16GB one formatted as NTFS doesn't 
I have gone for the 32GB Nexus 10 so I'm not exactly short of space, however it would be nice to be able to play larger (>4GB) files directly from a USB stick as well.
Any suggestions...?
