Excessively awesome you mean!

[smorcy11]

the leaks are growing, I'm thinking a launch is very soon like some of the rumors are stating.

After reading the article, I think its referring to the tablet as having expandable memory. The phone was just mentioned in passing, the article was written about the tablet.

"...both devices will have expandable memory."

I wonder why Google is backtracking on microSD slots. I heard a rumor that the Nexus 6X is basically a product from the rumored (and scrubbed) Android Silver project.

 

Who knows, maybe Google realized that having a microSD card slot is what made Android phones a preferred choice over iPhones. I won't be complaining if they bring it back.

I have thought that when Google changed how SD cards functioned with JB (or was it KK?) that they were laying the groundwork to bring them back to stock Android.

I think you might be onto something regarding microSD slots.  Last year I was really looking at the LG G2 but with no removable battery and no microSD slot, I wasn't totally sold.  When the Nexus 5 came out it was in the same boat as the LG G2  with the lack of a removable battery and no SD Card slot but I liked the reviews of Triband coverage and the added options of putting just about any SIM into it to experiment with other carries.  Now with the LG G3 now having removable battery and an SD card slot makes me think those manufacturers are learning that just having those 2 specs gives them an edge over Iphones.  Just a thought.

Both as in both the 16GB version and the 32GB LTE version.

It was more than one source mentioning it, you can take what you like I assume.

 

I don't think he'd refer to 2 storage capacity OPTIONS of the same device as "deviceS" though.

It could be taken either way - it is a very ambiguous pronoun. It wouldn't surprise me to see a writer, particularly for a non-tech site like Forbes, refer to different capacities as different devices. Generally, I'd call it bad writing style to use an antecedent that dangles back to a different paragraph.

In a comment response to someone, he said, "Sorry, I didn’t get any info on the Nexus 6 other than that it’s being launched alongside the Nexus 9 tomorrow. I imagine the pre-order schedules for both devices will be similar."

I'm in favor of Lady Finger or Oreo for Android L.

[GW1973]

Save Oreo 4 later, my vote is lollipop

Way too big. They should've stuck with a in-between size..
