Well HTC has an event October 8th so fingers crossed we get some information then.
Would be awesome , but everything suggests just more phones.

First I would like to apologist to the board for not clearly stating my 2012 Nexus 7 has slowly developed this weak battery that only gives me 40 minutes screen time now.
Wouldn't Google be the one that would announce the Nexus 9?
HTC sends invites for mystery event on Oct. 8 - CNET
Don't get me wrong I have a 2012 Nexus 7 with a Tegra 3 processor that right now won't give me more than 40 minutes a day of use which makes it almost useless
Sounds like it to me. The pieces of the puzzle all fit. NVIDIA claimed that the new Denver (64 bit) version of the Tegra K1 chip was being developed and tested using Android L. NVIDIA also holds the claim to the first 64 bit chip on Android (Tegra K1 Denver). And Nexus releases always seem to be the introduction of a new OS...So is the Nexus 9 the 64-bit Android L launch device?
That is normally the case but I think (my opinion only) the NVIDIA lawsuit leaked out details of this that under normal circumstances would of remained quiet until the proper announcement was made.Wouldn't Google be the one that would announce the Nexus 9?

Is this something you always experienced from day one or is it just possible natural battery depletion after years of use?EDIT: I saw your updated post saying this was slowly developed.
FWIW, my Nexus 7 (2012) which I've had for over a year now still holds a great charge usually at least 2 days or more idle and I get very good usage times regardless of movie watching, web surfing or just playing some games.
I wouldn't blame this completely on the Tegra 3 chip, sure it can have some impact but you have to factor in display and other variables.
Also I use the Tegra Note which runs the Tegra 4 chip and I get as good or if not better battery life on that tablet over my N7.
Good to know the the Tegra 4 chip wasn't the power hog that the Tegra 3 was. I was all excited about the Tegra K1 that Nvidia said was very power efficient that all went out the window with Android Central Podcast. I think the K1 will have the best graphics on the market with it's CUDA multi-GPU cores of any processor but I want very good power efficiency over graphics since the games I play won't have major graphics.
The Shield has great battery life. And the K1 does have the best graphics processor on the market. The 64-bit version of the K1 uses the same GPU AFAIK. All they change is the CPU from a quad-core 32-bit CPU to a Dual-core 64-bit CPU.
If you are going for a gaming tablet, put your money on the Shield Tablet w/ wireless controllers. You won't be disappointed. Especially if you are loaded up on your personal computer w/ a GeForce GPU then you can enjoy even more that the combo offers in terms of streaming and other neat things.That's true about the battery life. But if the rumors are true, 1600p screen means gaming won't be the same as the Shield Tablet. That's my biggest beef as I'm really looking for a good gaming tablet abs the nexus might not be it.... I might have to go with the shield of rumors are correct.

The legal document leaked saying Q3
Fiscal year Q3 ends in October (edit) if they follow a retail fiscal year.
Doesn't the fiscal year (Q1) begin on October 1? I don't live in the US, but I thought the US follow a Oct-Sept financial year?
Fiscal year - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Am I mistaken?
It actually depends on the company/organization. Most retailers/some banks end it after January to account for the Christmas season. The US Federal Government starts on the day you posted.

Nexus 9 will no doubt be a great performing tablet but its designed as " all around " and not specifically at gaming like the Shield Tablet makes as its first priority.
