32GB Google Nexus 7 appears on Staples' website; price matches 16GB version

If there were ever a poorly kept secret, it would be that there will be a 32GB version of the Google Nexus 7. This version of the Asus built 7 inch Android tablet has been spotted in Spain at a price of 279 EUR ($360 USD) while a buyer in Japan accidentally received the 32GB version of the tablet after buying a different variant of the tablet online. The first time the device was spotted was on the inventory system belonging to U.K. retailer Carphone Warehouse and it has been seen enough times since then for there to be some truth about its existence.

The latest sighting of the 32GB Google Nexus 7 was on the website of business retailer Staples. More precisely, it was on the business storefront for the retailer, called Staples Advantage. At $248.37, it is priced below the 16GB model's tag of $251.49. This would seem to indicate that the 16GB model is going to be scratched, something that would probably be announced at the same time the 32GB model is announced. The delivery date is listed as October 18th which would be Thursday and that part of the listing might be a tad hard to swallow. Let's assume everything but the delivery date is legitimate.
