Does anyone think Google will ever produce a nexus flagship tablet? Will it have tight intergration such as the touchpad and pre 3?

They should. Now that they have motorolla's mobile division, i am sure motorola zooms would be the new Nexus tablets.
As far as I am concerned, all tablets right now sport the same hardware, hence hardware should pose no serious problems with updating the software. Some have some lightly modded while only a few have heavily modded software. Point being is that majority of the tablets out right now are simply so easy to update, they could all be classified as Nexus tablets.
"Google Nexus Tablet" sounds look great...
but no is possible

motorola needs to make a better tablet then the joke-of-technology xoom. but, no, i don;t think google will, what will probably happen is what google with a bunch of gingerbread phones, just send the ICS rom OTA to the tablets, or for download for wifi only ones (like the acer transformer)
Think after a while when tablets really take off they will make one.

So a couple of months ago I purchased my first android phone (my nexus) to specifically root and flash. I tried many roms and have had a jolly good time here at xda.
Now here is the small dilemma that I'm facing with all this new found knowledge of rooting phones. Ever since I rooted my gfs inc2, she goes around telling everyone that her bf(me) is the one to call for smartphone tech.
Yesterday I just rooted and flashed miui on her coworkers Droid 2 global. Btw that phone was a ***** to work on, I had to go to read like 5 different forums to get the corrects steps to flash gb roms.
And now just today my gf is asking me if I could jailbreak her brothers new iPhone 4.
Yeah I'm in no way mad about people asking me for help but I guess I'm now the phone guru that everyone relies on. I do enjoy working on different phones, and flashing roms are always fun.
I'm wondering if anyone else on xda has turned into the go-to-guy for smart phone related tech?

Yes.
I have been in this position. Mostly due to my root and rom changing need. Always people asking me to jailbreak their iphone/ipod (Easy if you ask on google, aye?) Currently I am on ICS(Android 4.0) on Samsung Galaxy S2.
Thanks for your time.
Currently owner of sensation but i do want a galaxy nexus because i am an app developer. But thn i see rumors like htc edge witch looks even more awesome.
What to freakin do: D

Senny isnt bad, if you really like the Galaxy Nexus and can afford it, then go get it, its a nice piece of work, the screen rocks!
You'll be ok with the Senny though, so maybe you can wait for more time, new phones come everyday, if you like something, then take it, or you can wait for something even nicer(quad-core! )
Although, having ics out of the box is a plus point, and as you tell you are an app dev, so it'll help you make newer and better apps, but your phone would get an official update soon.
There is ALWAYS something better just around the corner, you could just wait forever for the next best phone and never buy anything!
wait for galaxy s3

Always get the Nexus. New hardware comes out every month but only the Nexus will run the latest stable version of Android on day one. As a consumer that's great but as a developer that's essential. Plus Sense on Honeycomb is crap and will probably be just as much on ICS.
Looking to get an Android soon (early April 2012 Latest).
My only reason for getting it is to run 2 apps at the same time. The Eye-Fi app, which will connect to handheld camera via direct wi-fi mode, and transfer pics in real time to the Android. Each pic - 1.2 - 5 MB.
2nd App - Camerasync or some equivalent, which will resize pics as they arrive in the camera roll, and upload to FTP/Dropbox/Flickr, etc.
Running these both on iPhone 4 triggers one of the apps to close, due to memory/processing issues.
So, my desire is to get a dual-core or quad-core Android, and use it for this.
Would you guys have any suggestions for a device used primarily for this purpose?
Notes:
Battery life not an issue, will be working with multiple charge packs throughout the day.
Would prefer 4g.
Would prefer Verizon, USA.
Would prefer a SD slot so I can swap out 32gig cards.
Want to make sure the dual core is actually functioning, that having a DC chip will enhance this process. I've read repeatedly that dual/quad cores on the phones don't do much because no apps are designed to tap into their functionality.
Any feedback appreciated. Thanks!
Get a Nexus from Verizon. Top notch specs. Should do exactly what you're looking for.
If that doesn't do it for you, list your options.
just for closure....

Right now my dev phone is a Samsung Captivate...but my carrier is Verizon! Anybody suggest any Verizon smart phones I should use just for developing but I would also be able to use in the future? Running my stock Droid X2 as a daily user and can't risk to mess that thing up. Comment with suggestions guys! Thanks!

Maybe a Droid 4? Seems like there's good connectivity for development in that all the Motos use the same base and that's what you're already used to.
Otherwise I'd wait and see if VZ gets a worthwhile HTC or Samsung in the near future.

What are those Droid 4s going for on the net? Because I'm definitely not getting it through verizon...lol.

You should either wait for S3 or the new ZTE/Huawei, cheap phones with quad-core

HTC Rezound is the way to go. Its hardware is far superior to any other devices on Verizon's current lineup, it's got an unlocked bootloader, and we've had quite a few breakthroughs in getting AOSP, CM9, and Sense 4 ported over.

Hi you guys,
I have a Samsung Captivate Glide (Bought it the first day it came out woot!)
Unfortunately, It's a very under developed device and I don't use the keyboard as much as I initially figured I would.
So I'm back in the market for a new android device. Preferably one with a strong developer community. ICS roms already running would be a big plus. I use the front camera a lot so thats a requirement.
Something with the best specs possible. I'm on AT&T so it'll need to be compatible with their network.
Thanks,
Kyle

In my opinion, the Galaxy Nexus is the best android smartphone out there. It as hd screen, ICS and it is strongly supported device by the community. And of course vanilla android (my favorite). If you wait until (i guess) Q3 2012 Samsung Galaxy SIII will be released and it will have great specs. And if you like touchwiz on top of ICS (see Galaxy S2 test rom for details) and the "Samsung ecosystem" (Game, Social,Music and Reader hubs)
Now it's up to you!
Prolly best to wait awhile longer until the better phones get released
the only phones worth getting now IMO is the Galaxy Nexus or HTC One S
and personally, ill go for the One S! xD
specs-wise, it's the best phone in the market, again IMO hahaha
