Best Buy, Future Shop begin Nexus 7 pre-orders
updated 02:00 pm EDT, Sun July 8, 2012
Now available at four retailers
Best Buy and its Canadian subsidiary Future Shop are now accepting pre-orders for Google's Nexus 7 tablet. The product pages for both retailers show the Nexus 7 arriving at their warehouses on August 10. Both retailers price the 16GB model of the Nexus 7 for $260, $10 more than its listing on Google's Play Store.
The addition of Best Buy and Future Shop brings the total number of retailers offering the tablet to four. Shortly after the Nexus 7 was revealed, GameStop announced that it would be taking pre-orders for the device.
Staples is the fourth retailer that will be carrying the Nexus 7. Last week, a Staples product page leaked the shipping date for customers who preordered the tablet before July 10. The Nexus 7 is also available on Google's Play Store, where it is sold with a $25 credit preloaded.

Google, Amazon, and Apple are all rumored to be releasing new 7" tablets soon. I'd love to see a comparison review when they come out.
