If you’ve had no luck finding the 16GB Nexus 7 at a local retailer, you’re luck is about to change. The 16GB Nexus 7 is back “in stock” on Google Play and this time we’re guessing Google is prepared to meet demand. I’d personally go with the 16GB model (and did) as my experience with the 8GB version of the Galaxy Tab 2 didn’t bode too well. The 16GB version will cost you an additional $49, but at $249 for a quad-core, Jelly Bean toting tablet, you can’t go wrong.

We’re only moments away from Day 1 of Google Google I/O 2012 but that doesn’t mean the leaks have to stop. The Verge managed to snatch a look at a Google Nexux 7 banner to be displayed on the Google Play Store and boy is it, well… you can be the judge. All I can say is holy bezel Batman! I’ve talked with a few people who don’t see an issue, but personally, I’m a bit disappointed.

LG has made a wise decision to halt all tablet development in favor of focusing on its smartphones. LG is already a company lagging behind in the mobile wars, and frankly, releasing any Android tablet other than the Nexus 7 at this point, is like tossing it straight into the recycling bin.

I’m sure you don’t remember, but back in March, ARCHOS announced a budget Android 4.0 device for kids called the ChildPad. Fast forward to today, and it’s now finally available for purchase. The ChildPad allows parents to give their children the educational and fun experience of a mobile media device without having to break the bank or their personal high-cost device.

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.
