I hope they bring out the Nexus 10 soon too, if its sub £250 with 32gb I'm in.

I want the new 32GB version to come in at £200, the 16GB reduces in price and the 8GB become discontinued. I almost think they may have to do this to stay ahead as the Kindle fire HD is £200 and offers 32GB.

I dont think the demand for the 8GB models was anywhere near that of the 16GB. I certainly wouldn't turn my nose up at a bit more storage however with nexus media importer, its not as necessary as it once was and im not desperate for more by any stretch of the imagination..

So nothing to do with the kindle hd having double the capacity at the same price?

Also the KindleHD 9“ is $299 so I would assume £300 for 9” - 10“ models will be the starting point.


Edit:
Actually i just checked the US vs UK prices of the 7” and it looks like we are not being ripped off for once.

Kindle Fire HD 16Gb $199, £159
Kindle Fire HD 32Gb $249, £199

So yes an 8.9" at £250 would be possible, if only they would bring it out in the UK

Perhaps this is being lined up to go toe to toe with the iPad mini?

Apparently Google and Samsung are working on a 10" Nexus tablet: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57528352-94/google-to-co-brand-10-inch-nexus-tablet-with-samsung/

Can't they just have a slot like a SIM card slot where you can pop in a Micro SD card ?

Too much to ask for ? Stop milking our goddamn money!

The current 16gb Nexus 7 is now EOL and apparently the 32gb model will replace it @ £199 with a new power management chip.
