Here it is folks. What we appear to have in front of us is a pretty official looking image of the Google Nexus 7 tablet, running Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. This apparently is the banner that will adorn the Google Play Store once the device has been announced in the forthcoming Google I/O keynote. Right now, we'll overlook the phone interface until we've seen it in the flesh. We're only...

There's a new pressure sensitive and finger friendly drawing app in the Google Play store called Markers, and since it's written by Android software engineer Daniel Sandler (wonderfully written I might add), it's getting its fair share of attention. The app itself is free in Google Play, will run on any Android device with Eclair or higher, and it's open source. It's already given me...
Normally we couldn't care less about stories born from lurking on photo-sharing sites, spying new devices from EXIF data embedded in images. But in this case we'll make an exception. An ASUS "Nexus 7" has popped up on Picasa, lending credence to the generally accepted rumor that we'll be seeing a 7-inch tablet from ASUS in just a couple short weeks at Google's annual developer...
We've been hearing rumors of an ASUS-manufactured Google "Nexus" tablet for the past few months, mostly from unconfirmed or dubious sources. Today, though, The Verge is reporting that such a device is in the works, and is slated for a July launch at the earliest. Apparently the 7-inch ICS tablet is being redesigned in an effort to reduce its cost (and price tag), resulting in the...
There's a lot of speculation about a Google branded tablet in the news recently, and we're all paying close attention to the rumors. A 7-inch tablet with decent internals, running ICS at the right price strikes home for some of us. But there's another thing to think about -- it's still a plain vanilla 7-inch tablet. We've seen ASUS and ACER can push out updates to their tablets, so...
An analyst with DisplaySearch (not exactly a household name) apparently has told CNET that Google will put its own tablet into production in April. And that's all he knows. No more. Quit asking. However, Shim said it is not clear how Google will market the device. "I don't know how they plan on marketing it. If it's going to be a premium device, or if it's going to be a Kindle Fire...
So apparently Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt said something about a tablet to an Italian newspaper. Next thing you know, we have a Nexus tablet coming in six months or something. And you know what? That could totally happen. And you know what else? It already has. Here's what Schmidt actually said (more or less, thanks to Google Translate): "We in the next six months plan to...
We're gonna go out on a limb here and say this isn't as good of a surprise as the news about Android 2.3.4 was but hey, a lot of folks get excited over contests and the chance to win a Samsung Nexus S is nothing to shake a stick at. You'll have to an early riser to get in on this action though since the first puzzle began today. You'll need to be following the @Googlenexus account on...
