Unless you go for the most expensive configuration -- 32GB with LTE -- most models will run you less than half what one of Google's newer, bigger tablets will, too. That sound you hear? It's opportunity knocking. We've reached out to Google for additional info and will update this post should we hear back.

Update: A Google spokesperson tells us that there's still "some inventory" in stores and at carriers, but its emphasis is on the Nexus 9 "at this time." In short, you'd better act fast if you find a Nexus 7 available... it probably won't stick around for much longer.
