Adorama currently has refurbished Android based Nikon Coolpix S800c cameras on sale for $119 (original: $346.95).
I guess Nikon abandoned the Android based camera project, just like they did with the Coollpix S1100pj experiment (camera with a built-in projector).
Few more details on the upcoming Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G FX and 18–55mm f/3.5–5.6G DX lenses:
Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G
Most of the rumored cameras and lenses I reported in the past two months were already announced (see this and this post). There will be more Nikon announcements in the January-February timeframe. In addition to the CES show, historically Nikon always introduces new products for the CP+ show in Japan (February 13-16, 2014). The Winter Olympics games (starting on February 6th, 2014) are another opportunity for Nikon to bring out some pro gear. Here is a recap of the expected new Nikon products for the next two months:
Nikon Middle East & Africa is talking about a new DSLR camera to be announced on January 17th, 2014 on their Facebook page:

In addition to the 35mm f/1.8G FX lens, during the CES in early January, Nikon is rumored to announce also a D3300 camera with a new Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G DX VRII lens. The new lens will be significantly smaller and lighter (less then 200 grams) when compared to the current model. It will feature a new collapsable barrel (like some 1 Nikkor lenses) and 7-blade rounded aperture.
Here is another good deal on Amazon: Nikon 1 J3 camera (beige) with a 10-30mm VR lens for $296.95 (51% off).
Adorama has several similar deals and some of them come also with a free camera bag.
B&H offer the same J3 kit price with different accessories, but they are all currently sold out.
I already mentioned that some good Nikon 1 deals will come in the second half of December before new mirrorless products are announced in the first half of 2014.
