Google set to kill off Nexus 7
 

Word on the superinformation strasse is that Google may be discontinuing the Nexus 7 tablet line this year, in favour of a new 8-inch Nexus 8 tablet.

It looks like the world is fed up with seven-inch tablets and wants something a little larger. The Nexus 8 will be launched alongside Android 4.5 at some point this summer, sources suggest.

The Nexus 8 and its launch are far from being confirmed by Google, but an outfit called AndroidPit thinks that that the summer launch may have something to do with Intel's release plans for a new mobile processor.

In other words, Google and Intel may collaborate on this Nexus device.

In which case you are talking about the 64-bit quad-core Atom "Moorefield" processor which was "expected to be available in the second half of the year".
