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. T…

The Nexus 4 is not a tablet.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

It's true that the number refers to its size; that said, Nexus 4 is really 4.7". 4.7 is closer to 5 than 4, so I would not be surprised if they did name the next one Nexus 5.

Right after I buy one, awesome.

You should probably check this: https://support.google.com/googleplay/contact/nexus_price

Ha, wish I had seen this link first. My Nexus 4 arrived last Thursday so I was well within the 15 day window. I just called their customer service (https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/3053039) and they processed a refund for the difference. They're a bit swamped right now so you may have to hang on for 10-15 minutes before you can talk to someone.
