An accidental leak by chipmaker Nvidia in a U.S. International Trade Commission filing indicates that HTC is building the next Google tablet and that it will be out in the third quarter of 2014.
What with secret drone projects, autonomous cars, digital health platforms and a smartwatch operating system, Google has been extremely busy this year. So busy in fact that it has neglected to launch either a new Nexus-branded smartphone or a Nexus-branded tablet. New Nexus tablets tend to launch in June and December and new phones in October. But no new kit has surfaced.
