As we anxiously await Google I/O, and what it may have planned for Android, we’re treated to a possible sneak peek courtesy an online benchmark site. The rumored Google Nexus tablet that’s been talked about for months appears to have taken a spin on the benchmark site Rightware. Showing up under the name Google ASUS Nexus 7, this 768×1280 quad-core mystery device actually gives us quite a bit of information thanks to a little digging by the guys over at Android Police.

Verizon Galaxy Nexus owners have been waiting, for what seems like an eternity, for Android 4.0.4 to hit their device. Google passed it along to Verizon months ago, but for some reason, Verizon just recently got around to approving it. Sure, we’ve seen it leak a couple of times, but never anything official from Verizon — until today.

We have to share this next bit of information because, unfortunately, Google does not. There’s been an ongoing issue with Google Wallet, NFC, and its secure element. Since devices that carry the three are far and few between, you may not have heard much about the issue. However, it has made its way back into the spotlight thanks to an unfortunate owner of a newly released HTC EVO 4G LTE.

Last week a group of developers banded together to celebrate pricing freedom by launching the Because We May promotion. The promotion, which ends June 1, includes heavily discounted games across multiple platforms. Since its launch, Because We May has received great support and the list of games available has grown tremendously.

Gaming Pawn Shop giant GameStop, has announced it now carries a selection of Android tablets in over 1,600 locations. Tablets such as the ASUS Transformer Prime, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, and Toshiba Excite 10 can all be bought via cold hard cash, or with credit from trade-ins. GameStop certainly isn’t known for giving you a fair deal on your old games so expect to trade-in quite a few items to get that tablet.
