Google Leaked A Nexus 8 Tablet on Android.com

Our friends over at  arstechnica.com  noticed  that Google’s  Android.com , promotional site, has just been revamped for the launch of their Nexus 5 device and have put up new pictures and wording…but it may be that in among those pictures, Google has possibly thrown us a new clue about a Nexus 8 tablet.  If you go to the Apps & Entertainment tab, you will see that the main picture (below) shows a little girl playing with the current Nexus 7 tablet.  But if scroll down a bit, there appears to be a woman holding a new Tablet that we have never seen before, and it appears to be about an 8-incher, and it is running Android 4.4 KitKat.

Perhaps an LTE version. Or it could be a Nexus 8 modelled after the LG G Pad 8.3, which would be fine with me. The specs for the Nexus 7 according to a concept device it has a 1920×1200 resolution display, along with a 1.7GHz quad-core Snapdragon 600 processor along with an Adreno 320 GPU. The tablet also has a 3MP rear-facing camera and a 2MP on the front, along with a 8GB internal storage for $199. Now that was also a concept device, so it’s more than likely not real.
