    Nexus 5 / Kit Kat "Leaked Wallpaper" Recreations

    For anyone interested, I recreated the "leaked" Nexus 5 / Kit Kat wallpapers with what I feel are more "Googly" colors (I pulled the colors from the 2013 Nexus 7 wallpaper). I also created two (very similar) versions using the Holo color palette ... *NOTE: Forgot to mention, the Google+ post...

    I am... I feel like it just started? I haven't had an update for Swype in awhile, so I am starting to think it might be something else besides Swype? Anyone find a solution?

    What do you need/use 3G on your tablet for? (real world use cases, please)

    I also tether regularly (unlimited data on "grandfathered" T-Mobile plan). I have a Galaxy Nexus and an early Nexus 7 and find myself pulling out the Nexus 7 more often than I originally expected. Like a few others have said, tethering is almost as easy as "1-click" these days. I used to think...
