The iPad Mini was announced today, and frankly, it missed the mark. The iPad Mini will simply have no effect on non-Apple users. Apple needed to go $299 or less to make the iPad Mini seep into consumers heads and play devil’s advocate. At $329, that simply isn’t going to happen.
What do you guys think? Can we safely say a 32GB Nexus 7 will be arriving soon? This bad boy has popped up on so many inventory lists that I’m almost going to guarantee it… nay, I am going to guarantee it! The most recent sighting comes from a reader over at Android Police who sent in a screenshot of a Staple Advantage listing showing the 32GB Nexus 7 with an estimated arrival date as early as October 18!
Jean-Baptiste Queru announced Android 4.1.2 to AOSP today, something he calls a “minor update.” While it may be “minor,” reports of the update hitting the Nexus 7 have confirmed one improvement that I’ve been wishing for since I bought my Nexus 7 — landscape support for the home screen.
Yesterday we caught wind of a rumor suggesting a 32GB Nexus 7 was on the way. Today, more evidence suggesting so has popped up, along with a possible release date. According to Droid-Life, a reader of theirs came across the 32GB model on one of their purchasing systems, prompting him to call his reseller for more details. Once he contacted his reseller, he was informed that they would be receiving them around October 24, and that it was a “special” model.”
Before you go getting too excited, none of this has been confirmed, however, these names did pop up in the inventory system of British retailer Carphone Warehouse. While we have no idea what a Nexus 2 would or could be, the 32GB Nexus 7 sounds right up my alley.
