You got one out of three:

http://www.technobuffalo.com/2013/05/10/nexus-5-nexus-8-nexus-11-concept-gallery/

It's Nexus 5, Nexus 8 and Nexus 11.
I think the Nexus 8 is a good looking design concept.

That's an OLD BS Article with Fan Mockups and Wishful Thinking to drive traffic. I said it before but the Numbers will be to identify screen size not next model number. AND Google will avoid using Nexus 6 FOREVER (iirc) due to a small bit of litigation they got from the Estate of Phillip K. **** (Author of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep the basis for the Movie Blade Runner).

What we DO know is: There is a New Nexus 7 and NOT and 8.
Possibilities are: the Phone could be a 5" but could be also another 4" Personally I think escalating phone screen sizes is getting out of hand. I mean now we have a 7" PHONE! (and an 8" as well thanks Samsuck :/ ) The new Nexus Phone COULD be the Optimus G2 with a 4" screen instead of the 5". Wouldn't be the 1st time a company used the same hardware and just changed out the display.

The Large Tablet I can almost see as being 11" but could also be 10".

But then again They could just go 5,7,11 to keep all odd numbers. I wouldn't put that past them.

I really hope the Android Police tip is correct.

and with the Stock listings of the Nexus 8 being similar to the N7 as below :

We could be in for a winner, looks like it will be a direct attempt at the IPads space in the market, shame there is no visible front facing speakers.

    Just a thought but, Maybe he was confused and assumed that the new one would be called Nexus 8 because it comes after 7. I think it's safe to say with all the leaks that 7" is what is replacing it. I honestly don't think they'd do a 7" AND 8". That would be a VERY bad idea and would cause confusion and kill sales. I think it's cafe to say that Google will keep the 3 Device setup but try out a couple of others (rumors of Game console (like OUYA) and a watch have been floated).

    I doubt this guy at staples knows what he is talking about.

    Why would someone random staples employee have this information, but no one else does?

    Wasn't staples the place that had the 32gb before they announced it?
