We’re starting to catch sight of the new Nexus 7’s first official accessories less than a week after the device was announced. In the past, it has taken several months for ASUS in conjunction with Google to produce accessories for the Nexus range, but now just within a couple of days of its unveiling we are already starting to see three new ASUS manufactured products.

The latest rumor to add to the hoard of Nexus 2 7″ related speculation is that the device will go on sale at the popular worldwide independent retailer, Staples, starting July 31. That’s a day after it is due to go on sale at Best Buy.

We’ve heard hordes of rumors indicating that a new Nexus 7 variant is on its way, but we have had little proof that the device actually existed… Until now, that is. An anonymous source has leaked an inventory screenshot for the new Nexus 2 7″ revealing the expected retail prices of both the 16GB and the 32GB.

Google’s second-generation Nexus 7 could be just weeks away with supply chain sources claiming it’ll launch in late July or early August. Like the current Nexus 7, the new model will reportedly be built by Asus, and it’ll feature much-improved specifications, including a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera and a Snapdragon 600 processor.

The last person you’d expect to get a full rundown on an unreleased product from is someone on the end of a technical support line, but it appears Asus may have been briefing its support staff on the second-generation Nexus 7 ahead of its release.

A Redditor has posted a screenshot of a live web chat he has with an Asus employee, who spilled pretty much everything there is to know about the new Nexus 7 — apart from its price and release date.
