What's the new nexus 7 going to be called. It has to have something that will distinguish it from the old one in its name. Is a new forum going to be made for it?

It's still a nexus 7, right? So why would it get a new forum? Any specific information will usually state either nexus 7.2 or second gen or similar verbiage.

Maybe the development forums could get separate sections, just as the 3G version has its own forum section. Would make sense that 2nd gen got its own developer forum as well, since the hardware is completely different...

The part I am confused about is what they are going to call the next Nexus device. They can't call it the Nexus 5 because the number refers to the screen size: http://www.google.com/nexus/ (see Nexus 7 and 10).

Yeah I agree, the naming scheme is a dead end.
But I'm still confused about the OPs question. Nexus 4 vs Nexus 4 Original...???

The NEW Nexus 4?
Nexus 4 (2nd Gen)?
OP is talking about the development forums for the N4. One is called "Original"

They'll call it the Nexus 4S and give it minor revision with similar hardware spec. Similar to Nexus One -> Nexus S, and iPhone 4 to 4S. It'll also come with Android 5 and a free bumper case.
Go Home OP, You're DRUNK!
And for the name game the options for Google are - Nexus 4 II or the NEW NEXUS 4

The CEO of Google discounted this in the short term: "I don't think there's any physical way we could have released a Nexus Motorola device in that sense. I mean, we haven't owned the company long enough."

Why can't moto make a nexus like all the other companies, Google doesn't own them at all.

Well this is what the news, Larry Page and Wikipedia has been telling me, but I guess they are wrong: "Motorola Mobility LLC is an American telecommunications equipment corporation owned by Google and headquartered in the Chicago suburb of Libertyville, Illinois."
As for why, Larry Page answered the question: "we haven't owned the company long enough." He never said it won't happen, the hint is maybe it won't be the next Nexus, but not impossible later on.
I do like to see a Motorola Nexus, but the first step for Motorola to make a Nexus device is to get their head out of Verizon's arse.

The difference is that in the 'original' thread only accomplished developers get to post. The normal development thread anyone who makes a ROM can post it up

The comment above made it seem like the reason moto hasn't made a nexus is because Google hasn't owned moto long enough... That's why I replied they don't own the other oems at all.

If you can find one then yes. It's probably the best option right now if you want a 10" model. otherwise the second best option is the Nexus 7

There is a whole thread on where to buy the Nexus 10 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1982118).
It really depends on what country you are in; in the US there are retailers selling it however in other countries, such as the UK, it is only the Google Play store selling them.
I'm planning to buy a nexus 7 for flashing purposes. Does both Wi-Fi and 3g versions flashes same kernel and roms?
Sent from my One V using xda app-developers app
Yes and no. They are different devices and, as such, the roms are going to be slightly different between grouper and tilapia. As for kernels, I can't speak as to what's compatible with tilapia or not. Your overall best best is going to be reading up in the dev forum for the 3G to get an idea of what's available.

Suggest which version to buy with reasons. I'll die if I don't get developer support later
Sent from my One V using xda app-developers app
If you simply took a look in the dev threads yourself you would see how many options they each have. Its a good idea to look at the 1st post in the threads as some of the WiFi ones also say they support 3g.

Okay.
You should buy whichever version that YOU feel, after careful evaluation, will fit your individual needs and circumstances better. I would strongly advise, if dev support is your key requirement, to peruse the dev subforums to get an idea of what the individual dev scenes for both devices look like. In the end, it is you that will be the one using it, not any of us. Each person has their own reasons for picking one poor the other. The bottom line I'd that it's a decision that only you can make for yourself.
That being said, the one and only reason I'd recommend Tilapia over Grouper is if you require 3G connectivity. Its not as if the dev scene for either device is lacking. They are Nexus devices, after all.

So Wi-Fi over 3g in terms of development?
Sent from my One V using xda app-developers app
looking at Canonicals system requirements for Ubuntu here, it would appear that even the nexus 4 which is the best officially supported device currently isnt up to the "Superphone" requirements. The gs4 google edition seems like a reasonable choice however it only has 16gb emmc so it too doesnt fully meet up to the superphone requirements. I am seriously considering just waiting for the first snapdragon 800 phones to ship as i would expect much better performance for ubuntu.
Do you think the snapdragon s4 pro(nexus 4), or even 600(gs4 ge) can provide a good ubuntu desktop experience?
I think that a regular 1.2Ghz Dual Core can provide a good ubuntu desktop experience.
A nexus 4 or gs4 ge probably can provide an awesome experience.
LG Optimus G could handle Ubuntu touch fairly well.

The "requirements" are set for phone manufactures so that when Ubuntu is ready to be released on devices the requirements should still be a top end phone. Those are not meant to be read and followed by normal users flashing over Android or something.
Well... you make a compelling argument for the nexus 4. Im really debating picking up the white model when it comes out now. However i still feel hesitant knowing the phone has already been out for 9 months and will likely have a successor in the next few months.
edit: correction its been 7 months.

Moto X is probably considered its successor which will be released this summer.
If you prefer to wait I would say wait at least until its specifications is revealed.
But don't be afraid of buying the Nexus 4, it's a good choice.

But you're right about the Moto X though.
Hi,
i use my S3 with ubuntu (as an app) with unity. The performance is OK, but 4.3" is a bit to small for 1280x720, so i use normaly X redirection over SSH.

Well.. Nexus is THE developers platform for Canonical -Not gs4/htc/sony etc... So now you have 2 options:
1. Get nexus 4 now and install ubuntutouch 'official'
2. Get a (insert any phone) and pray for updates/ports

For now I'm putting daily builds on my GNex... Ubuntu Touch is is no way ready for seamless desktop mode yet...
Once it all comes together, the N4 will probably get UT and see use as a daily driver. The system requirements cited in the OP are most likely for OEMs considering new hardware dedicated to Ubuntu Touch. Meanwhile, while the world waits for that dedicated hardware, the Nexus Line is obviously the smartest choice for LTS (Long Term Support) through Canonical.

If they cannot get a manufacturer to support them and out out UT devices then the Nexus devices are the smartest choice, however if they have a manufacturer that is wanting to build phones specifically for UT that would be the best thing for them to do and the smartest choice. I don't see many big manufacturers steeping forward though and I wonder if it is Google stopping them from doing so, that's a little tin hattish I know but.....

Get a Nexus 4 or 7 and be sure to get LTS support from Canonical & Google.
