Nexus 4 is here. Sporting a gorgeous 4.7-inch IPS display, S4 Pro processor, and glass panels, the new flagship Android impresses. But is it worth upgrading from the 2011 Samsung Galaxy Nexus?

Decision: You have $1,200 and want some mobile mojo. Do you go Apple and buy a MacBook Air? Or do you go Google and buy a Nexus 4 phone, Nexus 7 tablet, Nexus 10 tablet and Chromebook?

Joining the already popular Nexus 7 tablet, is a new larger 10-inch version dubbed the Nexus 10, and a new LG Nexus 4 smartphone.

With a bunch of us running Samsung Galaxy Nexus smartphones - now coming up on their one year anniversaries - the LG Optimus G Nexus could be a tantalizing upgrade option, especially for those of us who are contract-free.

Price of the iPad Mini is perhaps the biggest unknown at this point. My guess: $299-399. Despite the seemingly innocuous idea of a smaller iPad, however, there are actually some big ideas percolating beneath the surface. Here's a few.
