You are wrong on several points. The biggest point you are wrong is a point that Larry Page ans other Google execs have stated and that would be 'there will be only one major android a year.' in the early days of android there were about 3 or more updates a year. Then they became bi yearly. But Google stated starting with Ice Cream Sandwich there would be only update of Android OS, major update, a year as a way to fix the fact a lot of phones don't run the current OS. So if a new nexus phone is released it won't run a new OS. Because 4.0 ICS to 4.1 Jelly Bean counted as a major upgrade.
We might not get a Nexus 2012 phone.

Well they can still release a version 4.1.2 as has been stated in some recent rumors.
the rumor is 5 nexus devices right? So far we have 4 rumored phones (LG, Sony, Samsung, HTC) which i hope they trim down to 3 (so long to samsung) which would/could leave us with a bigger nexus (rumored nexus 10) and the revised nexus Q. There is also Tv/top box (remember moto makes top boxes even if google is rumored to be selling that portion of the division), cameras. I hope we see some amazing things come end of Oct
Hahaha I applaud the semantics of this post.
At jerry: but I want a new phone, not a ten inch tab or Google TV.
And just to be relevant. New nexus phone this winter to keep nexus in consumers mind. Incremental or full on new software either way.
Spec bump, maybe on the affordable side or maybe high end I dunno.
I predict we see further separation of pure vs skinned android devices. It actually won't hurt android bc nexus will be the consumer device that that keeps abreast. Everything else will be an offshoot . Like now but more extreme.
Please then express the semantics in my post?

No, I just thought I needed to clarify my statement and wanted to know what was wrong with it.

4.1.2 would just be a slight upgrade to fix any bugs or stuff the current version right now is 4.1.1

Wouldn't be much of an update, and I don't see Google releasing a brand new phone for an existing OS just with some bug fixes.
My guess is we're going to see 4.2 key lime pie or not going to see a phone at all this year.
With the gt-i9260 photo leaks, it seems that there is a Samsung Galaxy Nexus 2 phone possibly in the works., which leads me to believe the phone will come with another software version (hopefully anyway).

Again I can't see that happening. Larry Page and other Google execs have stated that since I've Cream Sandwich there would be only one major android update a year. And who said the next version of Android would be key lime pie? No one. There are a ton of other deserts that start with k.

I'm going to be optimistic and guess that Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie will be released by the end of the year on the Nexus 2 by Samsung, although I don't know where any dramatic improvements could be made. I really hope the next iteration doesn't change any of the beautiful design choices that made JB and ICS so good. With Duarte at the helm, I don't think there is much to worry about, though.
You forgot one important for this discussion:
Motorola Xoom: 3.0 Honeycomb
What is a "Nexus" device? A Nexus is an Android consumer device that is launched with a new version of Android and is AOSP supported. Although it does not technically have the name, the Xoom meets these criteria. You can even find it on the Google Developer Nexus page. This "Nexus" device was released the same year the Galaxy Nexus was released - 2011. All past Nexus phones were released between November and January of their respective years. With this in mind, I would say it wouldn't be crazy to see a Nexus phone released in December of this year with an incremental update to the Android OS.

I think we will see a Nexus phone this year but it will run Jelly Bean (with a .1 update), and basically be a incremental upgrade hardware wise.
Given the comments from the UI guy at Google about him being 1/3 the way through what he wants to and that Google will no doubt bring the Nexus tablet and phone releases closer together I think we'll see a full Nexus phone release in early summer. Of course this might conflict with Samsung's release of their next top model and one thing has been clear from the Nexus releases - Goggle doesn't like releasing Nexus devices around the same time as top line OEM releases. So perhaps this year will be a "off year" with a minor upgrade to the OS (think Jelly Bean+) and next year perhaps in late Summer/early fall we'll get a full on Key Lime Pie releases, but after a Key Lime Tablet (early summer).

I hope we do get a Nexus this year, and one that's out in the UK this year too.
I'm due a new phone in December, and my top choices this year were:
- New Nexus Phone
- LG Optimus G
- Droid Razr HD (undecided on normal or MAXX).
However, it turns out the Optimus will be next year and the Razr HD likely won't make it to the UK this year either. So any nexus phone released this year in the UK will be nice.
