Starting today the Nexus 4, 7 and 10 will all start receiving android kitkat 4.4 software update. So if you already own the Nexus 4 probably one less reason to update the hardware to the Nexus 5.

Nexus 7 Tablet – reports of failures and memory slow downs
“I can’t find one person who has been using the Nexus 7 for an extended period of time, and hasn’t seen a massive downgrade in performance,” wrote Dustin Early for AndroidAndMe in an editorial titled, “One year later, the Nexus 7 has gone from the best to worst tablet I’ve ever owned.”
“I cannot pick up my Nexus 7 without experiencing problems like a lag of ten seconds, or more, just to rotate the display,” Early wrote. “Touches refusing to acknowledged; stuttering notification panel actions; and unresponsive apps.”
The above was an opening statement from Dustin Early for Androidandme. What then followed was a wealth of responses from other people all complaining that their Nexus 7 tablet also was suffering from mental slowdowns and more. The issue kicks in when you have less than 3gb free. At this point the Samsung chip activates a process that causes the tablet to become the worst piece of tech ever. Google did release a software update that tries to stop the process from starting, but they haven’t been able to remove the problem.
Not so much of a bargain after all perhaps?
Are these the specs of the new Nexus 7 tablet
It looks like KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has revealed everything about the Nexus 7, as shown below.
The specifications look reasonable although it appears not to feature the latest Snapdragon 600 processor, and the battery capacity has dropped down from 4,300 to 4,000maH.
Only a few days to see if this is the real deal. What are you views on this?
