Rumor: The Nexus 9 tablet set to launch on October 16

Modaco’s founder, Paul O’Brien, tweeted a few hours ago that according to an anonymous tispter, the nexus 9 tablet will launch on October 16.

In case you did not know it, the upcoming Google tablet will be made by HTC. We got a little confirmation thanks to the HTC keyboard accessory hitting the NCC and NVIDIA’s lawsuit filings. It has been reported that it will pack NVIDIA’s latest processor, the K1 Tegra which packs 192 cores of pure power.`Other features such as 3GB of RAM, 8.9-inch QHD display, 8MP rear camera, 2MP front camera and front speakers are also rumored to come with the  N9.

I guess we’ll find out very soon if this rumor is indeed real. HTC is holding an unrelated event in New York on October 8. We sure hope to find out then but it’s not guaranteed. We’ll let you know if we hear something.
