The Nexus tablet climbed on the top of charts since its debut in July. The only deficiency in the tablet is low storage options. It lacks memory card slot and comes in 8 GB and 16 GB versions only. However, Google is believed to bump up the memory offering to 32 GB.

Reportedly, Google has accidentally shipped the un-announced 32 GB version of Nexus 7 to a lucky customer in Japan. The customer, who goes online @oppose, ordered 16 GB Nexus 7 ; and when he opened the box, he found that the tablet has instead 27.58 GB of available storage.

Both ASUS and Google are silent on matter, but reports are rife that the 32 GB Nexus 7 is in works and will arrive before the holidays season.
