Well, it is not Nexus 7 of Google available for purchase, something that will happen this Friday by what it seems, and it turns out that the first rumors have already begun to be read that there will be a 10 inch model. And, from the looks of it, what is said has a fair basis to be true.
Some of the things that the new tablet is believed to carry, apart from a 10 ”screen, are that its processor (SoC) will be a Nvidia Tegra 3, Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) operating system and there will be two models, one 16GB and one 32GB. Come on, more firewood from Google.
In addition to this information, the price data for the model with less storage capacity has also been provided: 299$. If so, Google's competition in the tablet market has to react, as their models usually offer much higher prices. This would continue with the way Google operates in the market it has just entered, and it seems that it would go hand in hand, again, with ASUS.
The date of arrival in stores could be after the launch of the next Nexus phone, which will be after the summer ... but without having the specific data. Therefore, Google would release all a range of hardware before the end of the year. All a declaration of intentions and that, surely, will change the way of acting of all manufacturers ... for the account that it brings them, of course.
Not too long ago someone with a lot of weight in Google, Eric Schmidt, said the problem of Android tablets are that they were too expensive and, from the looks of it, to be able to solve this they have not found a better way than to launch their own. And, if things do not change much, they will achieve their purpose: models so inexpensive that users always consider them as the first option.
