Google’s recently announced Nexus 7 is receiving critical acclaim throughout the blogosphere. It offers the hardware of a $500 tablet – a 7” HD IPS display, quad-core processor, 1GB RAM, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean – for the unbeatable price of $199. Some sacrifices had to be made to bring price down to this level, sacrifices like the lack of a rear camera, higher storage capacity, extendable storage and GSM connectivity.
After being bested by the quad-core processor, HD display and superior software of Google and ASUS’ Nexus 7 tablet which will, in a weeks’ time, be sold at the same price as their Kindle Fire, Amazon is reportedly working on building their own smartphone.
