Everybody's all Excited about Google getting into the tablet industry with its fresh Nexus 7, which is set to be released at the end of July. Based on its specs, this new piece of Technology is primed to douse the embers of Amazon's Kindle Fire, even though it isn't likely to take a very good bite from Apple's tablet sales. Even so the new Google gadget has renewed the rumors that Apple may soon put out a 7' iPad mini.
Both the Kindle Fire and the Nexus 7 will set you back $199 for an 8GB machine. Google also has a $249 16GB version, however the appeal of a Google gadget surpasses its affordability.
A few of the functions early fans are looking forward to include:
* Cpu: 1.3GHz quad-core Tegra 3
* Weight: .75 lbs
* Width: .41'
* Operating-system: Jelly Bean/android 4.1 with improved voice recognition and responsiveness
* Display: Vibrant HD display
* Pixels: 1280X800 (216 ppi)
* Hard drive: 8GB or 16GB
* Battery: 9+ hour battery life (Some bloggers have noted as much as 10 hours of battery lifespan.)
* 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
* Available: End of July
* Pricing: $199-$249 (Up to 30% discount with GameStop trade-in.)
Nexus 7 Limitations
Although the Google tablet comes with a good deal of abilities specifically designed to lure those in search of a tablet at an affordable price, but there are some negative aspects. Obviously some sacrifices are to be expected with any reasonably billed tablet.
Storage: Despite the fact that Google is providing both an 8GB and a 16GB model of the Nexus 7, neither tablet has a microSD slot, which means no expandable storage. Some have reported that the lower-end 8gb version can be filled after getting merely Three to five movies, suggesting that the $249 version would be the wiser option.
Wireless: The shortage of hard drive space is supposedly resolved by streaming media and data through Google Play & Google Drive; even so without 3G / 4G internet options, the media kept in the cloud won't always be accessible, which might become a source of frustration for anyone utilizing their gadget on the go. Media: Like the Amazon Kindle Fire, the key purpose of the Nexus 7 is to promote users to purchase media from the Google Play store; however the range of options is sort of small by comparison.

Improving Nexus 7 Media Choices
Nevertheless, the business does offer approximately 500,000 apps at Google Play, thousands of motion pictures, over 3 million free electronic books and hundreds of purchasable eBooks. Furthermore, countless songs are for sale on Google music and the business is continually increasing its collection. In case these small choices aren't adequate Nexus 7 users can simply build upon these media options by using a Kindle eBook application, Amazon Cloud music application, and many more Android-compatible apps.
