HTC Legal Doc Confirms Nexus 9 w/Nvidia K1 Processor Coming In 3Q 2014

Something happened a few days ago that didn't get much coverage in the major tech press.  That something was the inadvertent confirmation of an HTC built Nexus 9 featuring a K1 processor by Nvidia and expected to be launched in 3Q 2014.   This confirmation comes via legal document that was released on the Nvidia website as part of a law suit it is involved in against Qualcomm and Samsung about some infringing patents regarding an Nvidia GPU.  The specific text cited says: “The HTC Nexus 9, expected in the third quarter of 2014, is also expected to use the Tegra K1.”  This goes along with the rumors that have been going on for the past couple of months regarding Google's successor to the Nexus 7 and all we are waiting on now are exact specs and pricing as well as a date.  The above pic is another leak that was unconfirmed but seems to feature the specs expected of the upcoming Nexus 9 'Volantis' tablet by HTC and shows specs such as 2048x1440 display, 64bit Logan K1 processor, stereo speakers and super thin design. So what do you think?  Will you be putting the HTC Nexus 9 on your holiday shopping list?  Make sure to check out our new community dedicated to Google and HTC's new tablet at www.Nexus9Forum.com

I will admit that I a bit starved for a new technology toy, but with my eye on a new larger screen smartphone that desire could be satiated, which appears to be a trend that is hurting the tablet market. That said, my Nexus 7 2013 and Nexus 10 are fulfilling my tablet needs quite well at the moment and I am not sure if I am ready to spend $500 on an HTC. Admittedly I could not wait to get my hands on the Nexus 7 2013 at $250, but if the Nexus 9 comes in at my suspected price point, I will not be as quick to pull the momentary trigger. If i am overcome with the wow of the Nexus 9 and my resolve weakens the forum will be the first to know.
