Is the Nexus 7 the only tablet in Google's plans?

Is the Nexus 7 the only tablet in Google's plans?

Posted on Jun 28, 2012 by MG1

This here is pure speculation, so we absolutely don't mind if you disagree with what you are about to read. Now that we've made that clear, let us present you with our (wild) hypothesis.
It is just that there is something about the Google Nexus 7 and its name. Think about it: it could have been named something else like the Google Nexus Tab, Google Nexus Slate, Google Nexus butter-on-toast, but no. We simply have a figure representing the device's display size. Why have a "7" at the end instead of some elegant moniker since there is no other Nexus tablet to confuse this one with?

ASUS MeMO 370T 7-inch tablet clears the FCC, leaves no trace of Ice Cream or Jelly behind

ASUS MeMO 370T 7-inch tablet clears the FCC, leaves no trace of Ice Cream or Jelly behind

Posted on May 30, 2012 by MG3

The 7-inch ASUS Eee Pad MeMO ME370T we saw in early prototype form during CES just passed through the FCC. It's still only showing WiFi radios with no trace of a cellular connection, although if it's going to be the $249 standard bearer NVIDIA and ASUS were so excited about, that's to be expected. A juicier rumor that has surfaced in the intervening period however, suggests this device will actually be released as a Google Nexus 7-inch tablet (or just sold from a Google store), and could even feature the next version of Android, codenamed Jelly Bean. It could also sell for as low as $149, although the cheaper reworked version might swap out the Tegra processor for one from Qualcomm. We didn'...

Google’s 7-inch Nexus tablet is believed to be released sometime in July

Google’s 7-inch Nexus tablet is believed to be released sometime in July

Posted on May 28, 2012 by MG2

Filed in: TabletsGoogle

Summer is looking to be a scorcher, but if the reports about Google’s Nexus branded tablet surely turns out to be true, we can potentially see it come to market as soon as July. Come to think about it, that’s not too far off at this point, as we’re nearing the start of the summer season.

From what’s being reported, it seems that the 7-inch Google Nexus tablet will ship in June with an estimated initial volume of 600,000 units. Previously believed to launch in May, it seems that the date was pushed back due to unsatisfactory marks regarding its design. Furthermore, the cost attached to it was simply too much to swallow for a device expected to flaunt a price point as low as $199. Hence the r...

Posted on May 24, 2012 by MG3

NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang previously mentioned that more Tegra 3-powered tablets would be coming to the market this summer, starting at the low price of $199. At the company’s annual shareholders’ meeting last week, vice president Rob Csonger revealed Kai, a plan to democratize its quad-core Tegra 3 system-on-a-chip. NVIDIA is looking to offer tablets that are more powerful than Amazon’s Kindle Fire, but that will be offered at the same low price point. “Our strategy on Android is simply to enable quad-core tablets running Android Ice Cream Sandwich to be developed and brought out to market at the $199 price point, and the way we do that is a platform we’ve developed called Kai,” he said. “S...
