Google Finally Makes the 32GB And 3G Nexus 7 Variants Official

Posted by in News, Nexus 7

We've known it was coming for a while, but Google finally made the 32GB version of the Nexus 7 available. Like we expected, the company has done away with the 8GB variant and dropped the price point of the 16GB version accordingly, so the 16 is now $199 and the 32 will set you back $250. Not bad at all.

For those on the go, however, El Goog also intro'd a version with on-board 3G. It's using HSPA+ and is compatible with over 200 carriers worldwide, including AT&T here in the U.S. The 3G-equipped N7 comes only with 32GB of storage and will cost $299.

Tons Of Stores Now List 16GB Nexus 7 At $199, A Few Selling 32GB For $249, Confirming Rumors

Posted by in News, Nexus 7

Following yesterday's price drop at GameStop, it looks like the Nexus 7 is slashing prices everywhere. Staples, Sam's Club, Office Depot, Wal-Mart, and a few other places all list the tablet at $199 (or a rough foreign equivalent). What's a little more rare is the 32GB Nexus 7 going up for sale in a few locations, though it's unclear how approved that is. Sam's Club has it up for order here, and PC Advisor is reporting that at least one user was able to buy the slate from PC World by asking for it, though it wasn't on display.

[Update: In Stock] New Pink And Light Blue Nexus 7 Cases Show Up In The Play Store, Listed As 'Coming Soon'

Posted by in News, Nexus 7

Way back in July, we saw a leak revealing several new Nexus 7 accessories, including a Pogo Dock, "premium cover," and multiple colors of travel cover, like the grey one that has been available since launch. Two new colors -- pink and light blue -- of that case have now showed up in the Play Store, with availability listed as "coming soon."

As you can see, the two cases are priced equal to their grey counterpart, coming in at $20. We're still waiting to see the rest of colors, along with the other accessories (c'mon, pogo dock!), so maybe these new arrivals are a good sign.

Nexus 7 16GB Now Out Of Stock In Google Play Store

Posted by in News, Nexus 7

Adding more fuel to the Nexus 7 rumor fire, Google has just pulled the 7" slate's 16GB variant off its virtual shelves, listing the device as "coming soon."

This comes after some fast and furious price drops were spotted at both GameStop and Office Depot, taking the 16GB N7 down to the rumor-approved $199 price point, perhaps in preparation for the arrival of a 32GB (and, dare we say, potentially 3G-enabled) variant of the device.

You may remember that the 8GB Nexus 7 met a similar fate just under one week ago after speculation that it may be getting canned for good, though we fully expect the 16GB version to make a return.

Nexus 7 16GB Drops To $199 At GameStop Online

Posted by in News, Nexus 7

We've been following the 32GB Nexus 7 meticulously over the past few weeks, and we're pretty sure it's going to be announced soon, possibly alongside a 3G variant of Google's hit 7" tablet. Of course, one of the most significant aspects of the 32GB N7's story is that it's expected to ring in at a $249 price-point, with the 16GB variant dropping down to $199.

We saw some proof of that earlier today at certain Office Depot locations, but now we have one more drop in the bucket – the 16GB Nexus 7 has gotten a price slash on GameStop's website, down to – you guessed it – $199.

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 Registration Page Appears On Carphone Warehouse's Spain Storefront

Posted by in ASUS, Google, News, Nexus 7

If you're among the many, many potential Nexus 7 users who think that 8GB (or even 16GB) is a little on the wimpy side for a modern tablet, you may have cause to celebrate soon enough. The Spanish storefront of Phone House (the international arm of UK-based Carphone Warehouse) has a promotional page up for the Google-branded tablet in a 32GB flavor, listing for 279€. My Spanish is a little rusty, but it looks like the typical "sign up for more information" pre-sale page. No date is mentioned.

The price is thirty Euros higher than the 16GB model, which has been available in Spain since late August.

Getting To Know Android 4.1.2 - A Location Settings Revamp, On-Demand 'Bug Reports,' Smoother Button Glows, And More

Posted by in Getting To Know Android, Jelly Bean 4.1

Hello and Welcome! Android 4.1.2 hit yesterday, and, in record time, we are pumping out a new version of everyone's favorite series. If you want to know about everything new in 4.1.2, you've come to the right place. To be perfectly honest, there isn't much to cover. 4.1.2 is just as minor as its 0.0.1 version bump would suggest. I've gone over all 164 system APKs (old and new) with a fine tooth comb, and this is all I could come up with.

First up, by now you've probably heard of the new, one finger notification expansion trick, and that the launcher has finally learned how to rotate.
