Internal Staples Document Suggests 8GB Nexus 7 Is Being Discontinued - 16GB Price Drop Imminent?

Posted by in Leaks, News, Nexus 7

We just posted some internal photos from Staples showing that the 32GB Nexus 7 is, indeed, making its way into retail stockrooms. And that's exciting. What we didn't show you, though, was one more photo from our intrepid office supply tipster, which contains some rather juicy information regarding the fate of the 8GB version of the Nexus 7. Take a look.

This is exactly what it appears to be: aisle end cap instructions for the upcoming holiday season. Thrilling. But look down to the "Notes" section at the bottom - there's some very intriguing stuff going on.

"Effective 10/30 SKU 949286 (Nexus 7" 8GB) will be clearance." If you're not aware, Staples has been one of the few brick and mortar locations selling the 8GB version of Google's tablet in the US.

The 32GB Nexus 7 Is Already At Staples Stores - Priced At $250? [Pictures]

Posted by in Leaks, News, Nexus 7

We already know the 32GB Nexus 7 exists. Some guy actually got one by mistake - in Japan. We've seen it at online stores in the US, online stores in Europe, and even Canada. It is bar-none Google's worst-kept secret ever.

What we have not seen, though, is a 32GB Nexus 7 actually physically in these United States. As of today, we know they're here - at Staples.

So yes, the Nexus 7 32GB is 100% imminent. We're fully expecting it to be announced at Google's October 29th event in New York, along with the Nexus 4, and Android 4.2.

32GB Nexus 7 Shows Up At A Few More Retailers In Europe And In Canada

Posted by in Leaks, News, Nexus 7

There's no secret anymore. Hasn't been for a while now. But, just in case you need a little more convincing that the 32GB Nexus 7 is a real thing, it has now made an appearance on two more retailers' websites: Dixons Retail for €199.99 (screenshot below) and Argos for £199.99. It also made a brief cameo at Best Buy Canada for $269, but the page has since been pulled. Good thing we have Google Cache to prove it was there.

These are all on top of the sightings we've already seen at Staples Advantage, Carphone Warehouse, and a few others.

32GB Nexus 7 Shows Up On Staples Advantage For $250

Posted by in Leaks, News, Nexus 7

Add another chapter to the Nexus 7 32GB saga. We've seen it once, twice, three times - and now it has showed up on Staples Advantage (their site for business users) with an estimated availability date of October 18th. That's probably just some sort of placeholder, though - it's highly unlikely that we'll see it show up in just two days' time.

The price shows as a few dollars less than the 16GB version, which lines up with previous rumors that the 32 may actually replace the 16 - a questionable move on Google's part, no doubt. Why get rid of the 16 instead of the 8?

32GB Nexus 7 Shows Up In Leaked Carphone Warehouse Screenshot

Posted by in News, Nexus 7

You know what I hate about the Nexus 7? Nothing. But I dislike the limited amount of storage - 16GB just isn't enough, especially considering the size of games like Horn and The Bard's Tale. What I'd really like to see is a 32GB version of the device, and according to a leaked Carphone Warehouse screenshot that showed up over at Droid Life, that dream may actually come to fruition.

OK, there are actually a couple of things to talk about first, so let's start with the obvious: ZOMG a Nexus 2! That's actually how CW lists the Nexus S, so it's nothing of concern to, well, anyone.
