Need help finding tablet?

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7" tablet running ICS. Nice device but too small. I'd like a 10" one. However, If I'm going to spend the money, I want a nice speedy device. The dual-core Galaxy Tab and my Galaxy SII are both way too slow. They do not respond fast enough and also get hung up with their only 1 GB of RAM.

I was searching but can't find what I'm looking for. Is there a tablet out there with a 10" (or 10.1") screen, 2 GB RAM, at least 32 GB storage, at least ICS (preferably Jelly Bean) and more than 1280x800 resolution?
 
The reason your Tab and SII are getting hung up is the Samsung Touchwiz overlay. It bogs the system down tremendously. A similarly speced phone/tablet running 100% stock Android runs MUCH faster. I have a Galaxy Nexus and the Nexus 7 and both are very responsive.

As far as tablet recommendations for a 10", wait and see what Google has in the works. Supposedly working to bring a 10" Nexus to the market soon.

Maybe so. Right now, my tablet is stock, while the phone is rooted (after the ICS upgrade). I'll look into getting rid of TouchWiz.

I just saw that a few minutes ago. I'd heard rumors back in July/August but gave up, thinking Google would suffice with their Nexus 7". Going to wait and see. I almost bought a Galaxy Note 10" yesterday but really couldn't see me popping $550 for the device.

I owned the Tab 7 Plus for 6 months and hated it so much I stopped using it and decided to sell it. The day I sold it the Nexus 7 launched and I immediately bought it because I knew the experience on my Galaxy Nexus was pure awesomeness. Use my Nexus 7 daily now.

I don't hate the Galaxy Tab 2. In fact, it is fairly decent. It is just too small, which is why I want a 10" tablet.

I wrote a review of it back in April, which I still stand by.

I'll try to remove touchwiz from both devices. I googled this and would love the stock android UI, but not sure how to get that launcher going.
