Nexus 8 tablet rumors: Will an Android powered 8-inch tablet be unveiled soon? CNET reports that a Chrome bug-tracking website suggest that Google is testing a new tablet. Some rumors suggest that this could be a next-gen slab by the tech giant, with many anticipating that it’s the highly rumored Nexus 8 tablet.

CNET notes that according to the eagle-eyed observers of tech site Myce, they noticed details on Chromium, a Google site dedicated to tracking bugs in the Chrome browser. The site indicated that Google could be ironing out the wrinkles on a new tablet. Those who picked up Chromium with a fine-tooth comb, the site has been known to tip Google’s hand on a number of features, products and services.

The major tech site notes that there are actually very little concrete data revealed by the listing, but those who read between the lines see a nugget of information. At the very bottom of the page, one can see google/volantis/flounder under the builder fingerprint. The code name of “flounder” suggests that Google is testing a Nexus product, CNET reports.

The “flounder” was determined as a Nexus product by referencing previous codename for other devices. The Nexus 10 was known by its code name “manta” (meaning manta ray), while the Nexus 5 test was dubbed with the code “hammerhead.”

Assuming the pattern would last for at least a few years. We should look for the flounder to ultimately surface as a “tablet.” This is the time of the year where Nexus tablets are usually released. The Nexus 7 (2013) was made available July, and Nexus smartphones typically debut in the fall.

Breaking down the build fingerprint, Myce notes that Google was using software from May 6.

With the continuous rise of rumors and reports on an upcoming Google tablet, does this all mean we’ll finally see one come June at the Google I/O?
