Google today unveiled a new Android-based tablet, the Nexus 7.
The device, is being produced with PC maker Asus.
The Nexus 7 sports a 7-inch IPS screen, an Nvidia Tegra 3 quad-core CPU (4+1 core configuration), 1 GB of RAM, the new Android 4.1 OS – Jelly Bean!, a 1.2 MP Front camera for video chat (no rear camera) and a 4325mAh battery.
The price of Nexus 7 is $199. It ships in mid-July.
Is Nexus 7 a threat to the Apple iPad?
It doesn't appear so. The Nexus 7 may be $200 less than the entry level $499 price for the latest iPad. But still iPad has a 45 percent larger screen, at 9.7-inch. That apart, the resolution of Google Nexus 7 is 1280-by-800 -- far lower than the 2048-by-1536 on the iPad with a Retina display. Not to mention, the Nexus 7 is WiFi only (and Bluetooth); while iPad is available with a 3G connectivity.
Does that mean Nexus 7 is a competitor to the Amazon Kindle Fire?
