The tablet which is apparently manufactured by Asus is expected to be announced next week at Google IO with a 7″ screen at 1280×768 resolution and powered by a 1.3GHz Tegra 3 Quad Core CPU, it may also be running Jelly Bean the next iteration of the Android Operating System and is rumoured to have a selling price of between $149-$249. With just over a week to go till Google IO there may be more leaks coming for this tablet, here’s hoping it will be available worldwide on release.
Asus mentioned before that they will be the first to update when JB comes…welcome nexus 7
Let’s see who will be first to update at day one: Samsung with Galaxy Nexus or Asus with Nexus 7.
If it is under $250 and available here in Oz, I will definitely be getting one! Love the idea of a Google tablet!
Agreed, Samsung has a complete lack of regard for clients in it’s release of ROM for their tablets. For this reason I will not buy one again.
Yes I want quality and reliability but nearly a year after ICS was released and still many devices do not have the update that is needed is not good. GB is poor performing crap and must be replaced now.
Actually that was meant to be HC GB is better than HC
