Asus rumored to be the hardware partner for the Nexus Tablet

Yeah you're right :p And Asus is pretty much producing some of the best quality Android tablets atm so it's a good choice. Hoping to get an HD display and a quad-core processor on a sub$200 price tag! :p

Jelly Bean will not be on the Nexus tablet. The Nexus tablet will likely be Android 4.1, which will still be ICS. Jelly Bean will be on the new Nexus phone in the fall.

Also, Asus said it would be "in the first wave" with the Jelly Bean update, which just means that it will continue to be faster than everyone else with updates (like it was with ICS), because it doesn't skin or have carrier review delays.

If its true than I was completely wrong in my counter assessment. Going back n thinking about it after reading my old comments, I dont know why I skipped over Asus in my placement, but I sure as heck did. I would have put it sammy, asus, then huawei as the dark horse otherwise. Still wrong either way. :)

As much as a nexus tablet sounds awesome, I need to know where its made. I know Asus has a lot of stuff made through foxconn, and im not about to buy that after all the hell I've been raising over apple MS and foxconn.

You can see here my concept for jellybean and a concept (not really good( of a nexus tablet, Asus Eee Pad Nexus that I made a long time ago.

and by the way guys, I made the Motorola Atrix 3. Hate to spoil it up to you guys. :)

I like some of your designs.

That lumia zero concept would have been cooler had you kept the whole phone and page black, with just a slight cyan glow coming from behind the device to illuminate the edges ( it gives homage to the 900) as well as light the buttons up. Sounds like a killer promo/teaser shot to me. :)

I just hoped that jelly bean could be announced at
google I\O with nexus tablet because u know jelly bean will get chrome os to dualboot and why Asus would say so from the begining that (still) might mean that asus will make the hardware for the (cheap) nexus tablet but still with jelly bean
(remember that quad-core tablet asus introduced with price tag 250$) and they may announce their very first own (top-notch) tablet with jelly bean

Something would have to give for that to happen, and we both know it wouldn't be Google, and I doubt Amazon would do it.

Gah, why can't I edit/delete my post! What I meant to say was, Asus is definitely the best Android maker atm and totally deserve to make this tablet. If only it came out sooner, because I'm planning on getting another Asus transformer in the mean time! Oh the irony!

Hasbro would have a kinniption if they named it that. They already tried to sue over the transformer name.. lol.

They really need to go into some sort of cross liscencing deal. I think the Transformer prime needs some Deceptacon logo'ing :)

Man, that'd be so ideal. I think the padfone concept is amazing but not as well executed as i would've hoped. The phone is the weak-link here. But this really does seem like where the future is headed. I'm hoping Asus redoes the padfone but does something a little more refined.

A combination of a Nexus tablet and a Nexus smartphone with a keyboard dock would be the greatest thing for Android.
