2014-10-21
we're here in Mountain View California Google's headquarters with the all-new Nexus 9 this is the new Nexus tablet it is made by HTC and it's it's a lot like the Nexus 7 only bigger it's got a four by three aspect ratio a new 8 megapixel camera and inside is a new Tegra processor the the k1 which supposedly makes it super duper fast otherwise you know it's a it's an Android tablet it's got you know material design on the Android lollipop so you can see all these cards flipping about here and other cards here you can even have chrome up Chrome another apps up and have multiple cards so you can have you know switch between them if you've got google docs open you can switch between different google docs so they're really looking at this as sort of a professional productive device it's a little bit thicker than the iPad air it's got dual speakers though so it's gonna be pretty loud and you know even though it's a little bigger than say the iPad Mini it still feels pretty portable although you're not exactly gonna stick this thing in your pocket so the funny thing about the Nexus 9 is it's kind of an in-betweener normally you think of a tablet it's either a real big iPad or a little small you know iPad Mini or Nexus 7 this is in between that and so while it's pretty good for movies it's got a four by three aspect ratio for reading or for doing stuff in the web it's sort of hard to know how to think of this as a super portable tablet is this a high-end premier tablet it's a little bit of both and maybe that's what you're looking for if you are it starts at 399 for the 16 gig version but you should probably step up to the 32 gig version which is 479 so there it is the Nexus 9 it's available in Wi-Fi and LTE directly from Google in the Play Store you
