It has very nice specs for a sub-200 tablet, heck for any android tablet. Same guts essentially as the Transformer Prime, just downsized. I am curious how much this is being subsidized because this essentially is cutting Asus's premier tablets at the knees, and they are the manufacturer for the Nexus.

Also if the rumored specs for the Windows Surface Tablet is similar, save for the size and storage space, makes you wonder if MS will come in at a $500 price point.

I have a Transformer and could nut imagine going for a smaller tablet. The 10” screen is just about right for me.

I wonder if anyone responsible for the name thought of the Nexus 6 killer replicants from Blade Runner?

When I first read the title I thought it said Google Confirms $199 ANUS Nexus.

Not that I would be surprised, but I was!

Got a discontinued HP tablet and haven’t used it much. I thought I would use it for surfing while on the couch, but it’s too heavy, and it’s difficult to use the keyboard. I prefer my Droid.

It would have been good as a portable Netflix viewer, but there’s no app for HP. Doh!
