The shortage comes because Google was taken totally off guard by how popular the 16GB model would be. It had expected the $200 8GB model to be the big seller. That hasn't happened, though. Instead, the $250 16GB model has been a massive, surprising success.
This will probably be a minor setback at worst for Google and the Nexus 7. But hopefully it's also a wakeup call for Google and its competitors that the battle to catch the iPad isn't just a race to the bottom. More here.

Guess it's time to buy a tablet
Interesting post. I use the new iPad and have yet to check out any other types of tablets... Maybe I should get on that! It'd be awesome if you'd check out my new music blog. "Project Trill"
I honestly think that this is great news for Google, it's better that the oversell than they undersell if that makes sense. I get what you're saying at the same time though that they should have been better prepared because now they're losing out but at least the tablet's been a major success, competition is always good even when it's competing with Apple.
wow too much of a good thing I guess
