SDK site still lists Android 4.1 as latest version. :(
Give them 2 weeks.

Re: Nexus: The best of Google, now in three sizes
#442Ok so, 4th generation of Nexus phones is called Nexus 4 and the tablets with 7" and 10" screens are called Nexus 7 and Nexus 10? What..? Also, this greets me when going to the product page (not trying to buy the phone, just trying to look at the phone): http://cl.ly/image/2t2R0L1L0H0F
Maybe they rounded 4.7" down to 4.
More like truncated at this point.

#443They need to work more on their browser. They are using the same webkit core as iOS, right? Reality is, every time I used the browser on Nexus 7, I want to throw it out of window.

Official scrabble app. Scrabble on iPad is awesome. Also, please dont mention Words With Friends.
I agree. High quality board-game apps seem to be the biggest gap on android tablets. I love Elder Sign: Omens https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fantasyfli... but that's the only one I've found to be really high quality. Carcasonne and Catan aren't as good as their ios equivalents. While I'm plugging tablet board game apps, this implementation of backgammon is Awesome . https://play.google.com/store/ap…

Probably because Android has traditionally focused on 7" tablets. Board games are the one area where I wish my iPad 3 was bigger. :(

#445Steal my idea, Google: hot-swappable batteries please.

#446Geez, I hate Google localisation. It NEVER works. It is always off.
I'm sitting in Germany, all my Chrome settings are set to English. Go to the main Nexus blogspot website and its in English. Great. (despite being blogspot.de)
Click on Nexus 10. Its in german. Understandable as I'm Germany. But please respect the browser settings.
Go back and click on Nexus 7, and its in English.
Go back and click on Nexus 4, and its in FRENCH!! Why?!
Click on the expanded memory option on the French page and it goes to the English version of the Nexus 4 page.
This infuriates me no end. This is the single reason why I will not use Google Play. I know that if I buy a book or a movie, the chances of it being in the language I set for the device will be slim. I have no desire to through money away like that.

I have the same issue. I’m on a Nexus S as well and it’s starting to show its age with the latest operating system and apps. But the form factor is great, and all these newer flagship phones are huge.
I have the Nexus One, and it's really starting to show it's age! I'll be getting the Nexus 4 once it's out, but like both of you, the screen size is the biggest drawback for me. I really hope Google realizes that bigger is not always better!
I have the Nexus One and i think to buy a Galaxy Nexus..just for the good price!

Let's be honest here, speed isn't as fast as WiFi all the time. It's as fast as WiFi, with much higher latency, in the times you're within good range of the proper cell tower. Sorry, but its not the same as WiFi when you're sitting on the can in the windowless bathroom on the 8th floor of a big office building.
It is almost universally faster than free WiFi (i.e. at a coffee shop), which is what the post said. I have unlimited data and a ROM that lets me tether, and it really is amazing how useful LTE everywhere is. There's no way this isn't the future of internet connectivity in general. (Unless everyone using it would somehow saturate the available spectrum?)
A big part of how much faster LTE is than HSPA+ (which the Nexus 4 ships with), is the fact that most LTE networks are massively under-utilised.
HSPA+ can run at 42Mbps in theory, but network congestion makes that a pretty much impossible situation in reality.
As more people join the LTE networks, they will get slower and slower, just as 3G has in crowded areas.

I'm in France and I'm getting pages in a mix of English, French, and... German! On the same page. (With no way of changing it.)
