Have seen a few references to a Nexus 8 lately on news sites, What do you think, is this a real possibility? Or maybe just click bait.

everyone is saying there will be a nexus 8.

A Nexus 8 or 9 is a possibility I think. With devices like the Kindle Fire HD 8.9 and iPad Mini it seems the market is moving slowly away from the 7" form factor.

Google has already tested the waters with a Google Play Edition of the LG G Pad 8.3", so I wouldn't be surprised if a Nexus tablet similar to that makes an appearance.

Nexus 9 is too close to 10.

Difficult to say if they will do a 8" or 9" as they are pretty close to 7" and 10".

Also who will they go with, Asus who make 7", Samsung who make the 10" or somebody else ?

I don't see the point in a Nexus 8. I'm waiting for a 10 inch Nexus but I might settle for a 9.

I know. I should have said I'm waiting for a new Nexus 10. There has been a second generation model rumoured for months but nothing has appeared yet.
