The Journal says that HTC engineers have been flying back and forth between Mountain View and their Taiwanese base as the two companies collaborate on the development of the new 9-inch device. The choice may seem unusual, as HTC lacks a strong tablet track-record and focuses almost exclusively on smartphones. But on the other hand, HTC has emerged quite strong in making large phones and have been quite successful in it. HTC One and HTC One M8 were the company’s 2 flagships which received heartiest welcome from the consumers.
Also in NVIDIA’s own legal filings, the company specifically names the new Nexus device, claiming it will be powered by a Tegra K1 processor, expected to see release in Q3 of this year and will be powered by Tegra K1 which we have been hearing quite often, but with NVIDIA stating it themselves, we no longer have to rely on rumours for that information.
As for the release date Paul O’Brien tweeted that it might be 16th October. On the contrary PC Advisor reports that HTC is holding an event in New York on 8th October which could be the launch day of the new Nexus. Whatever date it may be these October dates all fall with earlier leaked Q3 period of the year.
Anonymous tipster: The HTC Nexus 9 will be launched on 16th October...

Also new Nexus device brings a new version of Android which as far as we know is Android L. So if the rumours are true we would be seeing the new Android quite soon. Stay tuned.
