Nothing on the Nexus 9 on here yet?

Details were announced yesterday for release soon.

Certainly looks a step up in specs compared to others and with Android Lollipop.

Probably going to finally take the plunge in to the tablet market with this when it's out.

It's made by HTC, top end HTC's are always solid. Samsung would have made it from cereal boxes

I've been thinking. Don't they (all, not just Google) have it the wrong way round? LTE opens up the possibility of using the cloud (all be it only when you have good and consistent signal), so shouldn't the WiFi one be the one with the more storage? That's the one you want more offline content on.

Usually LTE is available in both sizes. Google have basically thrown in an extra 16gb with LTE.

Lot of tension with the price. People seem to be putting a massive premium on expandable storage. Yes it's very useful and all manufactures should include it.

End of the day the specs and screen blow everything out of the water (apparently). The price is fine imo, perfectly justified. Only tablets you can compare it to in price imo is the z2, iPad air etc.

Sorry yes, screen isn't anything new. I meant it'll compete with anything out there at the moment. I don't think there's not much further you can take screens of this size in terms of pixel density etc.

Think I'm glad I didn't pull the trigger on this straight away, bit of a disappointment

The price I could have justify if it was a solid device but the build quality not being up to HTC's usual standards and the software issues are a massive shame.

I might still get one if the price drops as it will be 99% used for couch browsing.
