Welp, it looks like the 2nd Gen Nexus 7 has just been discontinued. It's no longer on Google's website.
I was hoping it would stick around longer. The Nexus 10 wasn't discontinued until just now, apparently, but because there wasn't a 2013 or 2014 Nexus 10, it makes sense that Google would keep selling it until the Nexus 9 came out.
But with the Nexus 9, the Nexus 7 still has it's own niche since it's smaller. I already have a 2nd Gen Nexus 7 but I'm just sad it was only being manufactured for about a year. The Nexus 7 has always been the #1 tablet I recommended to anyone, and now if I still make that recommendation I'll have to add, "Oh but you'll probably only be able to find it on eBay", because it won't be in stores much longer I presume.
RIP 2nd Gen Nexus 7. You were one of the best small Android tablets ever. :'(
