The tablet price wars are heating up.

I bought my first tablet, a Nook HD+, last week, because I wanted something I could use to read technical docs when I do cardio. I wanted something bargain basement cheap because I don't want to feel bad if it gets smashed.

Barnes and Noble has made the decision to deliver the most possible value per $ for customers by making the Nook HD+ compatible with Google Play and Kindle. The device isn't the most powerful and doesn't have a camera or GPS, but the screen is great.

Other tablet vendors are going to be rushing to deliver products that appeal to different market segments. Quite exciting!

could this mean Nexus 5 is around the corner and they have to clear inventory?

At this rate we will have Nexus tablets in our pocket in two years...

There won't be a Nexus 5. It will be titled "Nexus 4" again. The number refers to the size, not the iteration.

The second-gen Nexus 7 which just made a debut kept the same name. Same will likely apply to the next-generation Nexus 10 as well.
