Android 4.4 KitKat headed to the Wi-Fi versions of the Nexus 7 and 10 starting today, according to Google.
For those who have been chomping at the bit for the latest Android KitKat update, the wait is over — if you’re running a Nexus 7 or Nexus 10 tablet, that is. The Android 4.4 update is rolling out to these tablets today, and a promise in place that the Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 […]
The long wait is over – for those of you out there who happen to own either the Nexus 7 or the Nexus 10 (or both!), you will be on the receiving end of the Android 4.4 KitKat operating system today. This particular update will arrive in the form of Over The Air (OTA), but bear in mind that only those who happen to own the Wi-Fi only 7-inch tablets will be able to gain from this OTA update. Of course, it remains to be seen just when those who own tablets that have mobile data capability will be on the receiving end of their corresponding update, but we sure as heck hope that sooner is better rather than later. If you are already rocking to Android 4.4 KitKat on your Nexus 7 with Wi-Fi capability, how are you enjoying the experience so far? Is everything up to your expectations, or do you think that a whole lot more could be done to enhance the entire update? [Google Plus Page]
Nexus 7 And Nexus 10 To Get Android 4.4 KitKat Today original content from Ubergizmo.
Google’s Nexus 10 tablet will not get translucent navigation and notification bars with the Android 4.4.1 KitKat update, which lets the wallpaper go full-screen from top to bottom as it does in the Nexus 5. Developers can activate the bars with a one-step code tweak, but it will not be the default. The lack of […]
This morning the 2013 edition of the Nexus 10 seemed (at first) to appear on Google Play with specifications galore – it was quickly realized by those with keen eyes for terrible fakes that the screenshots of this occurrence were fake. In other words – Google did not mess up and list anything on Google […]
It was just a few days ago when we spotted what looks to be a press render for the Google Nexus 10, and today, the upcoming tablet was reportedly accidentally leaked briefly on the Google Play Store. The leak resulted in its specs to be published for all to see, which some Internet detectives made sure to make a note of. (more…)

So the Nexus 10 is a pretty good tablet
We have seen the alleged press render of the Nexus 10 2013 model yesterday, and it could very well be on the way to be released pretty soon as the 16GB Nexus 10 has already been listed as “Out of Inventory” over on Google Play. Of course, this might mean a thousand and one things, especially when you take into consideration that the 32GB model happens to be still available in the market.
It remains to be seen just exactly when the 16GB Nexus 10 model has been out of inventory, but it ought to be pretty recent since nobody really picked up on it. Still, we do keep our fingers crossed that the good people over at Google will be able to make a new announcement of a spanking new Nexus 10 in addition to the Nexus 5 in due time. There has been very scant details about the Nexus 10 2013 model, apart from whispers going around that Asus would be the hardware manufacturer rather than Samsung. One ought to take note that it was Samsung who manufactured the Nexus 10 last year, while Asus is the driving force behind last year’s as well as this year’s Nexus 7 tablets. Are you stoked at what the Nexus 10 will bring to the table? [Google Play]

It had been suggested in the past the ASUS could be responsible for the new Nexus 10 despite Google allegedly confirming that the next-gen Nexus 10 would be made by Samsung again. In any case thanks to a recent photo released by @evleaks, it has been suggested that ASUS/Google could be getting closer to launching the device. This is based on a screenshot which is allegedly from a retailer based in the UK, indicating that retailers are probably getting ready to stock the device and have it ready for sale in the near future. Unfortunately apart from that, not much else is known about the upcoming device and a specific launch date has not yet been given.
It is interesting that Google has decided to move away from Samsung as the manufacturer of the Nexus 10, especially given that Samsung has probably been one of the most active as far as churning out Android tablets are concerned, with the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition being the company’s latest offering, but perhaps Google is hoping to recreate the same success they have experienced with ASUS and the Nexus 7, which could explain why they dropped Samsung in favor of the Taiwanese company. Either way we’ll keep our eyes peeled for more info, so check back with us at a later date for updates!
ASUS Nexus 10 Tablet Could Be Nearing An Announcement [Rumor] original content from Ubergizmo.
The other day we reported that it was possible that the next-gen Nexus 10 tablet could be made by ASUS instead of Samsung. Now according to the folks at Android Central, they claim to have received a tip by an anonymous person showing off a screenshot from another UK retailer where the Nexus 10 has been referred to as the “ASUS Nexus 10”. This corroborates claims from the other day when UK retailer, PCWorld, had its inventory screenshot leaked which led to speculation that the Nexus 10 could indeed be by ASUS. However it should be noted that this retailer, Currys, is owned by the same company, so it is possible that if the previous entry had been a typo, it could have carried on to this retailer as well.
In any case Samsung was responsible for the first Nexus 10 while ASUS had been tasked with making the Nexus 7. We’re not sure why Google decided to go with ASUS instead of Samsung for their next Nexus 10, if the rumors are true, but given that ASUS has had a decent amount of success with the Nexus 7, perhaps Google is hoping to apply that to the Nexus 10 as well. Either way hopefully Google will be sharing details about the next-gen Nexus 10 soon. Rumor has it that October could be when Google unveils the new Nexus 5, and we wouldn’t be surprised if the company took the opportunity to unveil the Nexus 10 tablet at the same time, so check back with us then for the details.
