I would like to buy a new tablet within the next few months. Should I buy the nexus 7 or wait for nexus 8?
I think Google Now gave me a card for an article about the Nexus 8 a few days ago. I didn't read it though. :-/

Yes, but it was all speculation.

They actually have a nexus 8 forum up over at phandroid.
The rumor is they are ditching the 7" tablet because there are too many of them on the market. Switching to the 8" for something new.I'm trying to figure out how that's relevant at all to the tablet being real or not.
Anyway, we haven't heard anything at all about a Nexus 8. But, the Nexus 10 does need to be replaced. I would like to think that Google won't release an 8" tablet because it'll cannibalize sales of the 7, but who knows.
I'd love to see a Nexus 10 that competes with the iPad in terms of weight and physical size. My gripe with 10" tablets as media consumption devices has always been the weight. Heavier tablets are just less comfortable over long periods of time when watching movies and needing to hold it up. Cases and keyboard docks are not an ideal solution to this problem, either.
