This Time, Google is Set to Release their Latest Tablet

Google is scheduled to have their I/O conference this week, the I/O conference is Google's version of the recently concluded Apple WDC, similarly, this conference is mostly for application developers to learn about new platforms and technologies they could build their applications on.

If you're wondering what Google will be announcing in the I/O conference this week, one of the most talked about rumor is that Google will release the Nexus 7, Google's latest tablet competitor, again, a tablet that's said to be an iPad challenger.  This according to the Gizmondo Australia, a well known gadget blog.  It seems that in every release of a new tablet, people are comparing it with the iPad, I guess that's the price Apple has to pay for being the best tablet.

The Nexus 7 will be 7" and will be built by Asus.  The Nexus 7 will be powered by a 1.3Ghz quad-core Tegra 3 processor, GeForce 12 GPU and will come in 8GB and 16GB variants.

The selling point of the Nexus 7 will be it's pricing which will be at $199 for the 8GB variant and $249 for the 16GB variant.  According to Gizomondo, the Nexus 7 will be the first to run Jelly Bean, the latest update to the Android operating system.
