Tech 24 Hours

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? ---------

These Honeycomb Tablets from Asus were incredibly famous for their Keyboard Dock that comes bundled at a very affordable price.

And because of the success of these Devices Asus is planning to create more powerful Eee Pad Transformers to give a tough competition to other Devices in Market.
