After the success of both the first and second Nexus 7 tablet by Google, ASUS speaks already planning to build the third tablet for Google, rumored to just be called the Nexus 7 (2014) but for all intents and purposes we call it the Nexus 7 3.
Yesterday Asustek had her third quarter earnings call and reported a decrease in cash of about 26% year-over-year, due to a one-time tax expense, and during the discussion of such topics had a few interesting comments regarding a new Nexus 7, ASUS smartphones and Android devices as a whole. It seems that ASUS has any intentions of design and production of the new Nexus 7 again.
The company's net profit rose by more than 4% but the total loss was due to the tax expense, not because of its product line up. With a successful Nexus 7 expand in 2013, and a new Nexus 7 this year things are moving right along. that being said, ASUS has big plans with other Tablet PC options, smart phones, and of course a new Nexus 7 next year in partnership with Google.
According to the Taipei Times ASUS has more than just tablets in mind for next year, but we will focus on the Nexus 7. ASUS CEO Jerry Shen mentions plans for a smartphone and Chromebooks at CES in January of next year, followed by portable devices of some sort, and then of course another Nexus 7 tablet.

With the current Nexus 7 not even 6 months old, we started hearing rumors for the next version, and now with ASUS ' CEO confirm their hope to build another, everything slowly comes together. Some have suggested HTC and LG are in the running for the next Nexus build for Google, but having regard to the partnership and success with ASUS, we don't see anything change.
Shen went on to say of the company is still "in talks with Google" on new Nexus 7 shipments next year, and hopes that they can raise tablet sales to more than 13 million. So while we don't no additional details on a possible Release date, specifications or get the juicy details, it appears ASUS is clearly in the running, and is determined on building the Nexus at least one more time.
