Rumors surrounding the Sony Xperia Tablet Z first surfaced last week, and we expected Sony to confirm them at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next month. But in Japan on Monday morning, the new flagship tablet was unveiled. And boy, does it look good.

Google is planning to develop a new headquarters in central London after acquiring a 2.4 acre plot of land at the Kings Cross Central development. The search giant’s new office, which will reportedly cover 1 million square-feet, will be worth a whopping £1 billion ($1.6 billion) when complete.

The iPad may be the king of tablets in some markets, but Apple’s device cannot compete with the Nexus 7 in Japan. Its premium price tag is causing tablet buyers to opt for Google’s 7-inch slate instead, despite its smaller display and lack of a rear-facing camera. One survey of Japanese electronics stores has found that the Nexus 7 has claimed 44.4% of the tablet market.

Google’s new Nexus 4 has been a hugely popular device since it first made its debut back in November, but the apparent supply issues surrounding the Galaxy Nexus successor have been well documented. Many would-be customers have been unable to snap up the device due to the short supply, while those who have have been forced to wait up to six weeks for their handset to arrive from Google Play.

What isn’t clear is why the Nexus 4 is so hard to get hold of. Some reports have speculated that LG simply cannot produce enough to meet the overwhelming demand, while others claim Google just didn’t order enough in the first place. So what is the truth behind the Nexus 4? Cathy Robin, director of LG France’s Mobile Communication division, has revealed all.

The Google Nexus 7 is now available to purchase with a T-Mobile data plan through Google Play. The device is priced at $299 — the same as AT&T’s HSPA+ model — which makes it just $50 more expensive than the Wi-Fi only model. T-Mobile has also announced that it will be expanding the availability of Google’s hugely popular Nexus 4 handset.
