How much faster is the Nexus 9 over the Nexus 7 v2? Web browsing is a bit slow on my v2.
 
N9 might be the most tempting tablet I've ever seen... I've always preferred the 4:3 aspect ratio but I'm in so deep in the Google world that it doesn't make any sense to switch to an iPad.


Probably won't get one unless Santa picks it up for me, but that thing looks real nice.

*Testing was conducted by Google using pre-production Nexus 9 devices and software. Talk time tests used default settings with Wi-Fi off and LTE on. Standby time tests used default settings with LTE on and Wi-Fi on. Wi-Fi internet tests had Airplane Mode on with Wi-Fi connected to a test access point, while loading three popular websites cached on a local server. The Nexus 9 loaded a page, waited 40 seconds, and then loaded a page from the next site. LTE internet tests had Wi-Fi off and LTE on, and used the same testing method as the Wi-Fi internet tests.

It will destroy it, completely and utterly.

I just noticed it's much bigger, do you know if they'll be doing another v2 sized tablet? I use mine in bed and hold it with one hand and I couldn't do that with the Nexus 9.
 
Looks like the premium priced Android Silver program was real and they just rebadged it Nexus. Six hundred forty nine US dollars. Samsung is happy.
 
The tablet price isn't bad actually. The phone is just way too expensive, unless they plan to keep the Nexus 5 around (glad I have mine).
 
Hmm no mention of wireless charging. I hope they haven't ditched that feature I love just being able to put my Nexus down on the charging pad. Also keeping my excitement in check till I see the pricing. I get the feeling the prices are going to be too high for my tastes.
 
Goodness, I thought these were supposed to be reasonably affordable. Nearly $700 is nuts even if it does seem like a beast!
 
Yup, looks like the 2014 Moto X is the "actually usable by human beings" version of this phone. Glad I bit the bullet instead of waiting for this.
