Everybody's all abuzz about Google getting into the tablet market with its cutting edge Nexus 7, which is set to be sold by the end of July. Based upon its hardware specs, this recent bit of Tablet is primed to douse the flames of Amazon's Kindle Fire, although it isn't likely to take a very good bite from Apple's iPad sales. Although the new Google device has renewed the rumors that Apple could soon unleash a 7' iPad mini.
Both the Kindle Fire and the Nexus 7 are priced at $199 for the 8GB device. Google also offers a $249 16GB variant, even so the allure of a Google device goes beyond its price.
A few of the attributes early enthusiasts are pumped up about include:
* Cpu: 1.3GHz quad-core Tegra 3
* Weight: .75 lbs
* Thickness: .41'
* OS: Jelly Bean/android 4.1 with enhanced voice recognition and responsiveness
* Display: Vibrant HD display
* Pixels: 1280X800 (216 ppi)
* Storage space: 8GB or 16GB
* Battery: 9+ hour battery life (Some owners have reported up to 10 hours of battery life.)
* I/O: 1.2 megapixel forward facing camera, Microphone, NFC, GPS
* Extras: Google NOW virtual assistant (think SIRI), Wi-Fi 802 11b/g/n, Bluetooth
* Accessible: End of July
* Pricing: $199-$249 (Up to 30% discount with GameStop trade-in.)
Nexus 7 Disadvantages
While the Google tablet comes with a large amount of functions specifically designed to tempt those searching for a tablet at a reasonable cost, but there are few downsides. Of course some sacrifices are to be predicted with any decently priced tablet.
Storage: Although Google is distributing both an 8GB and a 16GB version of the Nexus 7, neither device features a microSD port, meaning simply no expandable storage space. Some have reported that the lower-cost 8g model will be full after getting merely 3 to 5 films, indicating that the 16gb Version would be the wiser choice.
Wireless: The lack of memory space is supposedly resolved by streaming media and media through Google Play and Google Drive; however with out 3G / 4G internet options, the information saved in the cloud won't regularly be obtainable, which might become a source of aggravation for anyone using their device on the move. Media: Like the Amazon Kindle Fire, the key purpose of the Nexus 7 is to promote users to purchase things from the Google Play store; however the range of options is sort of modest in comparison of the Amazon market.

Increasing Nexus 7 Media Possibilities
Even so, the company does offer around 500,000 applications on Google Play, thousands of movies, over 3 million free e books and hundreds of for sale eBooks. In addition, countless songs are for sale on Google music and the business is regularly increasing its collection. In case these small choices aren't adequate Nexus 7 users can easily build upon these media choices by using a Kindle e-book app, Amazon Cloud music app, and any Android-compatible apps.
