Google might be getting a little sloppy in their security, at least where leaks about upcoming Nexus devices are concerned. After showing the Nexus like code-name flounder in the Chrome bug tracker last week, overnight the names Nexus 6 and Nexus 8 have shown up in a Chromium Code review.

I don’t believe they would do that, they are too smart. They know how to keep their… Read more »
or just wait till June/July end and order One Plus for $375
After last nights budget it may be best to hang onto my N5 and save some cash as it is already more powerful than I need and I don’t need a tablet that size so whilst interesting not too worried about it. Time to pay the mortgage before the economy dives and I am retrenched.
