Google’s Next Gen Nexus 8 “Flounder” Device May Have Peeked Its Head Up In KitKat MR2
XDA Developers found some code in the Android 4.4.3 (KitKat MR2) changelist that reveals a device made by HTC with the code name “Flounder”. The aquatic naming scheme fits with previous Google hardware.

There are no other identifying details available, so we’re making an assumption here, but it would certainly make sense, given previous rumors, that “Flounder” will be the Nexus 8 tablet.
There’s also a mysterious device in the changelog called “Molly”, manufactured by Google. That one’s more of a mystery, but one line in the code references a set-top box. Could it be that Google is making an Android-powered STB?
