My final foray into the Nexus 7 is my current, self-published book, <em>Dan Gookin&#8217;s Nexus 7 A to Z<\/em>, which is available only at the Amazon Kindle store. (Cheap!) I wrote that title to cover the Android Lollipop update, which really changed a lot of things about how the tablet was used.<\/p>\n<p>The current stock of the Nexus 7 will be sold out; they&#8217;re still available, but who knows for how long? The Nexus 9 continues to be the sold, being the only official Google tablet.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve heard no word on whether Google has any other Nexus tablets coming out or whether they&#8217;re just not going to do small format tablets in the future. It wouldn&#8217;t surprise me if a new Nexus 7 tablet came out soon or, perhaps, something equivalent.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.slashgear.com\/google-officially-discontinues-nexus-7-tablet-25380755\/\" target=\"_blank\">Slash Gear<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Slash Gear<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7393","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-wambooli-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7393","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7393"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7393\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7395,"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7393\/revisions\/7395"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7393"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7393"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7393"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
