    maverick786us, 22 Sep 2014I think just like Apple, Google should manufacture their ow... moreApple doesn't manufacture their own equipment, only design it. Look up a company called Foxcon, they do Sony's stuff too among others.

      NEXUS by HTC, 22 Sep 2014Pros:- ... more- It will be available in retail stores just like other Nexus devices.
      - We still yet to see prices. Despite being Samsung, Nexus 10 was much cheaper than Samsung branded tablets. It's Google to set the price.
      - 4:3 is much better for web browsing and size is much better to be mobile than 10,1 16:10.
      - It's might be not OLED, but JDI screens are very good. Those made jointly by Sharp/JDI and used in Meizu are best out of all TFT type displays.

          Sony supports their flagships well, the Z is 4.4.4 is proof of that. However they are not good at supporting their mid range or entry level devices.

Nexus for iOS user you'd be kidin, he should try HTC ONE M8 instead, cuz that is better in all respect and mostly in UX. if iOS guys comes to Nexus they will not last longer with Android and will again switch. Nexus is for purist doesn't means its for people who switches.

                                  Google is trying to prop up HTC because it is failing. Google cannot have one of the original Android big-names fail. Google will support HTC, LG, Samsung, Moto and Sony if needs be.

                                        I'm very confident that HTC can make a better tablet in term of ecstatic (appearance) than Samsung, LG, Sony or even Asus.

                                        HTC is famous for product design and similar level like Apple.

                                        Usually Google will use different vendors to produce smartphone and tablet at the same time.
