When the Nexus 7 was launched there were two things that many people claimed stopped them from purchasing it, the first being lack of storage and the ability to expand it, the other was the lack of 3G radios inside. We have been seeing the rumour that Google will be announcing a 3G enabled version of the Nexus 7 for a couple of weeks now and The Digital Reader has found the FCC filing for what appears to be the 3G version of the Nexus 7 passing through the FCC in the US.

No mention of the onboard storage capacity of the tablet which is rumoured to be at 32GB, the news of a 3G enabled Nexus 7 will be good news to many, although I imagine among our first commenters there will be some bemoaning the lack of 4G radios. We’re very, very close to an announcement now, I`ll be up and ready to order a Nexus 4 at 1am next Tuesday morning when Google shows us just what is inside this Playground that is open. Anyone going to trade-in their Nexus 7 for a 3G enabled one?
