Nexus 7 sells out at several retailers on first day of availability

The Google Nexus 7 has sold out at several retailers on its first day of availability.




According to Reuters, GameStop has confirmed that it is completely sold out of its Nexus 7 inventory and doesn’t expect to have the device back in stock until August. The company says that it went through both of its two allotments of the device although the retailer declined to share just how many devices it had sold.




Two other Nexus 7 retailers, Sam’s Club and Staples, both show that the Nexus 7 is out of stock on their websites. Another retailer, Office Depot, still has stock remaining although that stock will likely become extinct in the not-so-distant future.




Google’s website still lists the device as being up for pre-order and still lists it as shipping out in 1-2 weeks.The news comes shortly after Google started shipping the device out to those who pre-ordered the 7-inch tablet. The device has been available for pre-order since the company announced the Nexus 7 at its Google I/O developers conference at the end of June.




Those who pre-ordered through Google between Google I/O and today will see their devices shipped out within the next three days.
