In early October, is expected to double premiere: Google will introduce Android L, and HTC will release Nexus 9 – the tablet with the most powerful mobile processor Tegra K1, has all the chances to get the first updated OS. While official announcements about these events was not, but indirect evidence has accumulated enough.
The Taiwanese company HTC is known primarily as a manufacturer of smartphones. After the fiasco with the model Flyer it decided to stop issuing tablets and extremely cautious about developing other mobile gadgets. Three years ago, the company has stated that they do not have sufficient confidence and desire again to try their hand at this oversaturated market. However, it is for the HTC Google recently addressed with a proposal to become a contract manufacturer of a new series of tablet Nexus.

Some analysts consider an appeal to the HTC widely anticipated event. It has been argued that Google’s decision reflects a long-standing philosophy of building a wide network of partners. According to the unwritten rules, contract manufacturers are changing every year. This is done in order to avoid the appearance of “favorites”. So Google suppresses the creation of long-term exclusive conditions and the formation of monopolies.
Last rapidly formed in each new direction of production – especially as dynamic as the production of mobile devices. Technically, the difference between a tablet and smartphone is low, and without the participation of software companies a monopoly on their production would set for many years for the current market leaders.

For example, we have become accustomed to the fact that today most of the smartphone manufactures Samsung. At the time of the largest Korean company has been entrusted to the second issue (Nexus S) and the third version of Nexus (I9250). However, the fourth and the fifth version has done LG. Model Nexus tablet 10 again released Samsung, and two generations of seven-inch “nexus” did Asus. Constantly changing partners, Google acts as a kind of market regulator.
The most interesting thing is that the palm in promoting OC Android does not belong to any of these companies. The first smartphone with the mobile operating system from Google released it HTC. Model Dream (marketed in the USA under the name T-Mobile G1) was officially launched in October of 2008 and was met with enthusiasm. She did and the first smartphone in the series “The Nexus.” Smartphone Nexus One debuted in 2010 as a reference device with a clean OS from the developer

Today, the flagship HTC One repeats and even exceed the success of the first smartphone with OS Android. Some observers called it the best model of the previous year, although in this he does not have a lot of competitors. Here two main reasons: the attention to detail and producer adequate price policy.
Indirectly confirms early release Nexus 9 factories and HTC patent lawsuit recently filed against Samsung and Nvidia Qualcomm. In it is found a curious phrase: “…’s upcoming HTC Nexus 9, which will appear in the third quarter of 2014, presumably also will be built on Tegra K1». Once this piece of text noticed, Nvidia copied claim, removing him from mentioning HTC.

Items HTC has gradually strengthened and because interest in Samsung Google is rapidly falling due to the promotion of its own operating system Tizen. Against this background, the release of Nine “Nexus” can be a great chance for revenge HTC.
Representatives of both companies still refuse to give official comments. From the press service of Google journalists succeeded only general phrase that Android – a dynamic system, the development of which is enough room for all interested partners. However, according to the newspaper The Wall Street Journal, HTC engineers already agree on the details of the production of Nexus 9 at the headquarters of Google (located in Mountain View – one of the small towns of Silicon Valley), and Google representatives flew to visit the factories HTC.
Confirm early release Nexus 9 and own sources of publication The Verge. They also link the release of the new tablet update Android L. It was announced this summer at the conference Google I / O. Then it was reported that the update will bring a variety of quality improvement, and first of all – in the mobile graphics. Unofficial release dates 9 and Nexus Android L coincide, and the processor K1 perfect for the role of the demonstrator graphic innovations.
