If for some reason you’ve got an aversion to ordering online, you’ll soon be able to pick up the Google Nexus 7 tablet — be sure to read our full Nexus 7 review — in another brick-and-mortar store. Staples today announced that it’ll carry both versions of the Nexus 7 (that’d be the 8- and 16-gigabyte versions) later this month, for the same price as Google Play — $199 and $249 respectively.
Google Play is still showing a 2- to 3-week shipping time for the Nexus 7, which had preview versions distributed to attendees of the Google I/O developer conference earlier this month in San Francisco. The Nexus 7 is one of the first devices — and is the first tablet — to run the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean version of the Android OS.
