Google has a Nexus-related surprise for us, we have no idea what it is

Oh Google, you big tease! If being less than two weeks from Google I/O isn’t enough to get your heart racing, Google has gone ahead and tweeted that they have a surprise for us today. The tweet came from the Google Nexus Twitter account so we’re guessing the surprise is Nexus-related.

I can only think of one thing they could announce related to the Nexus S, its availability from more carriers. AT&T? Who knows? Other than that, I have no idea what they could announce, which makes it even more exciting. Could it be a free, ad-supported Nexus? Google is buying Sprint? Are they finally turning on Skynet? All very possible scenarios.

With that said, we’ll probably know pretty soon, and as soon as we do we’ll tell you all about it. Meanwhile, keep refreshing that Google Nexus Twitter page like the rest of us.

UPDATE: Google Voice integration with Sprint just went live, could this be? Hopefully not.

Maybe they’re going to have a contest to win a Sprint Nexus S? Or maybe announce availability for the AT&T Nexus S.

Google have bought Spotify, saved the company from a PR disaster and are releasing Google Music through it today?

Really happy I have a Nexus S in my pocket right now. Hope it’s a new software update.

My other guess would be a Nexus S 4G for AT&T.

Nexus M with the M rotated clockwise by 90 degree, ie, Nexus 3 from Motorola. Even better, make it available on Verizon with LTE, please.

Yeah, that’s a dream with little chance to become a reality.

  If so, then I doubt it would be a tweet coming from the Google Nexus account.

Its clearly gonna be a contest for Sprint’s Nexus. Nothing else seems important enough.

If it was a new Nexus phone or tablet, leaks would’ve been about already.

Three weeks ago there was a report about a shipment from LG to Google for 5300 units of something, due for arrival on April 27. My guess is that it’s the Nexus tablet that’s been rumored.

  My guess is that the G2x is going to become the first dual core developer phone and they are going to release gingerbread 2.4 optimized for dual core processors.

prolly Gingerbread 2.3.4 (video chat enabled in gtalk) for Nexus S

as for the “Nexus Tablet” idea –> XOOM is the Nexus Tablet buddy. Pure google, first to get updates, no moto crap on it.

  Actually,the Moto Xoom is like the Moto Droid. :) First device with a new OS version, completely stock. So, there’s a chance for a Nexus tablet. :D

it must really be something small, like video chat in gtalk for 2.3 devices. 3.0 gtalk is awesome.

Who cares? In the UK it is available on all carriers…. and all of our carriers offer a quality data service…. What are you guys mucking around at over there? Surely all carriers should offer good service? I just don’t get it….

Steve, don’t you have some biscuits and tee to be drinking and eating? Stick with your Eurodroid BS if you don’t like the news from the American Android Blogs.

My guess is a pure vanila HTC Sensation or a new Sensation-like Nexus device. I saw a pic on one of the sites a while back that looks similar to the Sensation but instead of HTC on the back cover it had Google. So most likely there is a pure vanila Google version of the Sensation…if true then hope it has Tmo bands and also unlocked. at least one can hope…..
