No scheduled event yet for nexus 5

It's gonna be more of an Android vs. iOS thing.
Yeah, there will be a Nexus 10 announcement in there, but 4.4 is the real star of the show. 4.4 is what will be blowing the doors off all of the features of the new iPad, not any one particular piece of hardware.

No, he is more than partially correct.


True and they need a marketing campaign to turn the device into house whole name.

RY and Nothingtrue pretty much somed up this topic of nexus 10 vs iPad so I will just add my two cents. Google does not care any more about the IPad(or the IPhone) then any other competitor. (Which they care very little). Andy Rubin, Eric Schmidt and Hugo Barra have all express there goal with Nexus is not a iPad and or IPhone killer. That perception of Nexus is spiraled by minds of fanboys and fangirls. Google uses Nexus line to improve the android community. Barra has been ask point blank about what's point of Nexus devices in terms of sales. Hugu Barra went record saying they want to make devices are developers can improve android so Google figure why make few more to sale. Simply they sell Nexus not out necessity but just out fun to the consumers. (Google is not into making the Nexus for profit or to be the answer to apple) Okay I gave more than my two cents.

Anyone who's watched an Android version launch knows it's not about any device as much as showing off features on generic devices (which happen to be Nexi).
What they want is for the person watching such a demonstration to say "I want the Android Tablet that does that". While Apple has the single device branding thing that a person watching their demonstration brands their tech-lust by saying "I want iPad"

What Google is hoping for is that when the consumer goes to the store to say "I want the Android Tablet that does that", the response is "Ok, we have some choices for you. Let's talk about which of these Android tablets that all do that is best for you."

iPad gets killed by an army of awesome tablet choices, not just one.
That we Android fans get a tablet that's better than iPad and cheaper is just icing on the cake. I don't need that tablet to "beat" iPad.
