Ask me about the GAF Notebook
This I will full agree with.
Out of all the stuff announced the true gem of this all will the 64 bit project denver chipset combined with Android L and full 64 support.

So tired of giant phones. I was waiting to buy the Nexus 6 this year but I might look at other options now.

The supposed $490 for 32GB seems a bit too high a jump from the 16GB one, but still better price and quality than an iPad.
Funny thing is.... I want one, but I've barely used my Nexus 7 (2012) in the past few months. I would like a new one though, because it's better than a desktop.
Is there any truth to the price of the keyboard for the Nexus 9?

So $650 is off contract price right? Hoping I can sell my 6+ for $700. Had no idea the nexus would finally be on Verizon.
No, that only started happening recently with their newer devices. The older devices like Nexus One, Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus, etc were priced at flagship prices.
It is yes.

Is that a game in the Nexus 6 promo picture or a wallpaper?

I'm tempted to get the Nexus 9, but I'll be honest - I really don't find tablets all that useful these days.
I'd rather get a Chromebook at this point, and that's what I might end up doing.

Fucking hyped now!
Since I was no longer interested in the N6, I finally decided to call Google to repair my cracked screen on N5. I was expecting to pay 150$, but they just told me they're replacing it for free.

Hah, yeah. I think I might just accidentally drop a hammer on my current Nexus 5 in the near future.
Here are the issues with this particular Nexus.
Made by Moto - Google still owns Moto, as the sell to Lenovo has not gone through. Other OEMs where not particularly happy with Google buying up Moto and making their own hardware. They don't mind getting under cut if the phones are actually being made by one of them (Samsung, LG, HTC, etc).
Google wants more real state in OEM phones across the board - You can't have your cake and eat it too. Why should OEMs give Google more pre-install apps, and Google Now launcher on their devices if they going to turn around and under cut them using Moto?
Once Lenovo takes over Moto, maybe we can get another Nexus device built by them with some subsides prices.
But like someone else said in this thread (BertramCooper), the Nexus 5 will probably be the affordable version of the phones

Holy hell that's expensive.
Never planned on affording the N6, but I hope N5's prices still manage to get driven down a little. Would love to replaced my cracked S4 with that sometime before the end of the year.

I wonder why they got rid of the budget tablet. Oh well, at least my Nexus 7 still works just fine.
Remember this is unlocked price. It is quite affordable compared to other unlocked prices for the same type of device. I bet you can get a contract and get it for like $150.

Understandable that people will pass cause of the price. However, I'm not surprised at the $650 price tag, I was surprised at the cheaper nexus 4 and nexus 5 prices. Hopefully the high price will also go into being high end. Have no problem paying for quality.
With that being said tho, I wanna see some hands on before I jump into the water.

I really, really wish that the Nexus 9 had expandable storage.

Can someone explain to me why Google has the same name for their phones and tablets?

Really. I'll just wait for a phone with Snapdragon 810 at this point. OPO will probably have L nightlies within a couple of weeks.

The most annoying thing about Nexus devices. You can work around it by getting a micro-USB to USB converter and an app that will recognize the device. It is still really a dumb design I agree.I really, really wish that the Nexus 9 had expandable storage.
They just stuck with Nexus as the name for their product line. Really nothing else to explain.
I could see them making an 8-inch tablet if they bring back the budget tablet.

Presumably they want to make it as confusing as possible for customers.
they need to change up the nexus name now it's not going to continue working for much longer

Because they want to focus on the software rather than the hardware? At it's core, the concept behind nexus, to me, has always been that the device is almost irrelevant. A nexus experience is centered on the pure Android experience.

Nexus 9 looks like an ipad. And that aspect ratio is meh. Ill stick with my Nvidia Shield Tablet for now.
It's still a pretty great price for a phone of this stature though. Only when you compare other Nexus phones to their price points is it disappointing.
My N5's screen and back camera are cracked, so I was pretty set on replacing it with the N6, 6-inch screen be damned. But at 650$ (probably more for us Canadians), I guess I'll stick with my broken N5 lol.
googy pls
