Most Versions Of The 2013 Nexus 7 Are Out Of Stock In The US Play Store
ZOMG! Volantis? Is it time for Volantis? You know you were thinking that, but we just don't know what's going on. All we can say for certain is that Google's Play Store in the US has no stock of the WiFi N7 or the LTE versions with AT&T or T-Mobile SIMs. The only version you can get is the "GSM Networks" LTE tablet.
Android "L" Preview Source Code Going Live In AOSP, Includes Support For Nexus 4, 5, 7 (2012+2013), And 10 [Update: It's Only Partial Source]
It looks like Google is serious about getting the "L" preview out to developers in all of its forms, even as code. That's right, some of the source code is already live on AOSP!
It looks like all of the recent Nexus devices are covered - everything from the 2012 Nexus 7 up through to the Nexus 5. Of course, just because branches have been published for these devices, it is not absolute confirmation that this entire list of devices will receive an official L release. Nothing is certain until Google releases OTAs and/or factory images.
- Nexus 4 - https://android.googlesource.com/device/lge/mako/+/l-preview
- Nexus 5 - https://android.googlesource.com/device/lge/hammerhead/+/l-preview
- Nexus 7 (2012 Wi-Fi) - https://android.googlesource.com/device/asus/grouper/+/l-preview
- Nexus 7 (2012 GSM) - https://android.googlesource.com/device/asus/tilapia/+/l-preview
- Nexus 7 (2013 Wi-Fi) - https://android.googlesource.com/device/asus/flo/+/l-preview
- Nexus 7 (2013 LTE) - https://android.googlesource.com/device/asus/deb/+/l-preview
- Nexus 10 - https://android.googlesource.com/device/samsung/manta/+/l-preview
Note: there still aren't any binary packages or kernel sources for the Nexus devices, but these are probably coming fairly soon.

[Deal Alert] New 16GB 2013 Nexus 7 Selling For $169.99 ($60 Off) Via Adorama On eBay Daily Deals
The 2013 Nexus 7 is approaching a year old now, but that time has done little to slow this 7-inch slate down. New models are still zippy and more than capable of handling most of what the Play Store has to offer. So when the tablet is available at a discounted price, it's worth pondering whether you or someone you know is in need of such a solid piece of tech. The tablet is currently available from Adorama on eBay Daily Deals for $169.99, $60 off its usual Play Store price.
The lowest price we've seen a new Nexus 7 go for on eBay before now was $179, making this even more of a bargain.

Android 4.4.3 (KTU84L) OTA Rolling Out To The 2013 Wi-Fi Nexus 7, Here's The Zip Link To Install It Now
Yesterday was a relatively big day for Android, at least compared to our regularly scheduled programming - Google sent us a gift in the form of the 4.4.3 update, available immediately via factory images and in AOSP. The problem with factory images, however, is that they require an unlocked bootloader to flash, so many of you opt in to wait for the respective OTAs.
The first such OTA has just arrived - it's for the 2013 Nexus 7 Wi-Fi (not for LTE yet), also known as Razor.
Note: You have to be on Android 4.4.2 (KOT49H) for this OTA to succeed.

It's not everyday that people can pick up a new 2013 Nexus 7 at less than the regular price. The tablet may be approaching a year old now, but it still has plenty of life left in it.
