Like you, we were looking forward to Google’s event on Monday to hopefully quash the many rumors out there and to officially announce what we may already know. Today’s unofficial “announcement” comes by way of Office Depot regarding the 32GB Nexus 7. Going up today on display at Office Depots is the 32GB Nexus 7 for $249, and also providing proof that the 16GB version will drop to $199. There you have it; a two-for-one as it were.

Stories similar to Office Depot outs 32GB Nexus 7 for $249,16GB Drops to $199

Google is dropping the price on its 7-inch tablet. The 16GB model will soon cost $199, down from the original $249 MSRP. Likewise, a new model, a 32GB flavor, will occupy the $249 price point. There’s no word what’s to come of the 8GB model although early speculation stated that it could drop in price by as much as $100. Google was supposed to have a big Android event today in NYC.

For those hoping or wondering if Google will eventually reschedule their Google Nexus event that was originally planned for today, you can stop wondering. It now appears that Google was going to announce the 5 Nexus devices (16/32GB Nexus 10 tablet, 8/16GB Nexus 4, and the 32GB HSPA+ Nexus 7) that were added to the Play Store today, but they will not be rescheduling the event itself.

Following a brief stint in the Play Store, Samsung and Google’s 32GB Nexus 10 sold out in record time, later superseded by the attenuated 16GB model.

With Google’s The Playground is Open event only days away, we have already seen the Google Play Store “de-list” the 8GB version of the Google Nexus 7 tablet. A 32GB Nexus 7 device is in the works along with a 3G-enabled variant, which apparently has prompted some retailers in the UK to guess these devices will be announced next Monday.

By now, the 32GB Nexus 7 shouldn’t be a huge surprise. However, the more retail sites that we see this nice little device show up on the better. This time the device is popping up as a registration page on the Spanish version of UK the based Carphone Warehouse called Phone House. All signs are definitely pointing toward the 32GB version of the hot Nexus 7 making its way around the globe.

There’s no question that Google and ASUS have a 32GB version of the Nexus 7 primed and ready to go, but when will it launch? Well earlier rumors suggested October 24, which is next week, but it’s possible it could launch as early as this week. UK tech site ITProPortal says it will appear in the Christmas gift guide for UK retailer Argos.

I have a 16GB Nexus 7 that I'm about to pass on to a family member as I just bought a 32GB Nexus 7. I have a full back-up of the 16GB made with ROM Manager. Can I copy that back-up file onto my 32GB and then use it as a Restore or Recovery file? I'd love not to have to redo all the programs and configurations I have but I don't want to screw something up.

It’s been mentioned numerous times already. Now we can add another source regarding the 32GB Nexus 7. This time it’s making an appearance on Staples’ business site, Staples Advantage, with a retail price of $248. Additionally, coming in a few bucks cheaper than the 16GB version is a little concerning, and backing what has been confirmed regarding it replacing the 16GB.

The officers at AndroidPolice have spotted a 32GB Nexus 7, Google and Asus’ addicting mini-tablet, for $249 on the Staples website.
