Good news for of the Android realm.The Nexus 7 tablet should hit stores by the end of this weekend, and some customers may have already received a pre-ordered unit by mail. It's literally arriving as I write the message.
The same should be true for the Nexus Q.
We expect Google to announce its latest tablet a Google I/O at the end of June, so expect a release in July. It's hard to pin down the exact launch date, but we believe the product is finalized and units are being manufacturered in mass. The latest Digitmes report suggests the same outcome, and the 7-inch tablet even appeared as a "camera" on Picasa. Launch imminent, indeed.
The Nexus 7 may be announced or released at the end of June, so expect it in stores by July. ASUS will manufacture Google's in-house tablet, and AT&T will carry, according to an ASUS rep that spoke to Android Authority.
The self-branded Google tablet has been revealed by Power Board. We're looking at some pretty nice specs: ASUS craftsmanship, Android 4.1, a 786x1280 display, NVIDIA ULP GeForce graphics and an NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad-core CPU. Lookin' good!
Please, keep in mind that this Power Board listing could be a hoax, though it's probably not. Still, it's best to keep your guard up.
In April, rumors and information leaks suggested Google's in-house tablet would launch in July, and now a new report by Digitimes suggests the same. 600,000 Google self-branded tablets will reach retailers in June, but they shouldn't be available to consumers until July. ASUS seems to be the manufacturer of choice.
Digitimes has a unique and intimate relationship with Chinese manufacturers, though the company is notorious for being wrong in the past. Still, it's important to consider the publication's commentary when it emerges. And this time it lines up with other information, so there's a good chance the it's legit.
