A listing for the 3G Nexus 7 has popped up on the FCC's website (as uncovered by The Digital Reader), which essentially confirms that it will be one of the devices Google announces during its Android event next Monday.

Nexus 7 shoved in Google homepage pocket
The Google homepage, traditionally a rather stark white sort of place, has had a rather front and center location updated to include a link to the company's current hero tablet, the Nexus 7, up for sale in their online store.

Today Google's placement of a portal leading to their one and only Nexus tablet has been met with some resistance by the very vocal fans of said page online.

SlashGear 101: is Google Wallet safe?
We’ve had our fair share of experience with Google Wallet since it launched several months ago, and now that it’s been updated to include all major credit and debit cards, it’s time to once again address the most important question of all: is it safe? As it turns out, Google Wallet is really, really safe. You’ve got several ways to lock down your account, and starting today, you’ve also got a remote shutdown option too. Additionally, just as it is with any other use of a credit card, each use of Google Wallet at “more than 200,000 retail locations” across the USA require that you show a picture ID to make it work.

Google Fiber's TV plan (as detailed this morning) will cost you a $300 installation fee and $120 a month - unless you sign up for a 2-year contract, in which case installation is completely free. Included in that plan is several pieces of hardware: a TV Box, Network Box, Storage Box, and no less than the Nexus 7 itself.
