Back

So, apparently, someone close to me said that it would be fun if I write things on my blog so here is the first one after a long time. So today I decided to talk about the possibility of a new nexus device in early Q4.
Now, I don't really believe in something like that. I mean think about it. Every Nexus device to date came with a new OS. Nexus One with Froyo, Nexus S with Gingerbread, Motorola Xoom (yep folks, Xoom is also designed by Google but doesn't wear the name Nexus because Honeycomb wasn't open source at launch) with Honeycomb, Galaxy Nexus with Ice Cream Sandwich and Nexus 7 with Jelly Bean. There was Nexus Q but that is a home media player, and doesn't qualify for this game. A new Nexus device would mean a new OS, most likely Key Lime Pie. Now Jelly Bean is about 3 months old. A November release would mean 5-6 months which is very soon compared to the 8-12 months Google used to wait untill a new OS. If a new Nexus would be launch now that would likely mean the Nexus would come with Jelly Bean which would mean that Google goes the way of other OEMs like Sammy and HTC with many devices using same OS. That's also one of the reasons why I don't  believe the rumours about 4-5 Nexus devices made by each big OEM because it would come against Google policy about Nexus devices. Google currently has Nexus S, Xoom, GalNex and Nexus 7 updated to Jelly Bean officialy and it actually sells GalNex, Nexus 7 and Nexus Q trough the Google Play store so they recognize as Jelly Bean devices all three of then so a new device with Jelly Bean would be a bad decision. So most likely, if a new Nexus would come so soon, it will be Q1 2013 or Q2 same year. That being said, I'd like to conclude by saying that even if a new Nexus would launch tommorow, you can't go wrong with any of the actual Nexuses. Even the oldest one, the Nexus S is a great deal and is a device that still gets updates from Google. Anyway, at least for me, the Galaxy Nexus is the greatest mobile phone right now (not necessarely hardware but on the software side) and the Nexus 7 the greatest tab for it's money.
That being said, I'm back and damn...is good to be back in the tech world.
