Google Nexus 7 Tablet

 Google Present New Nexus 7 Tablet...

It's Running on Android Latest Verson Jelly Bean 4.1...

WHAT'S NEW

This is the first Nexus-branded tablet, which, like the Nexus line of smartphones, means Google was closely involved in its development to ensure the best, purest Android experience. It's the first device to come stock with Android 4.1, better known as Jelly Bean, which has a bunch of new software features. It is the same size and price as the Kindle Fire, its most clear-cut competitor. It's not the first tablet with NFC--if you're not sure what that is, read this (what it is) and this (how it's cool)--but it's the first tablet anyone's ever heard of with the feature....

WHAT'S GOOD

Hardware: The hardware is great; at 12 ounces it's almost half the weight of the (somewhat hefty) Wi-Fi-only New iPad, and I really like the back panel's material, which feels both leathery and rubbery (now imagining a dark basement lab in which Google scientists splice the DNA of a rubber tree and a cow. Green light flashes. A robotic cackle is heard). The buttons are in reasonable places. It uses a standard microUSB port for charging and syncing, unlike many of its Android (and Apple!) competitors. Here's a weird one: I love the choice to leave out a rear camera. Rear cameras on tablets are stupid! They never take good pictures and you look like an idiot when you try. There's a front-facing camera for video chatting, though.

THE PRICE

$200 for 8GB, $250 for 16GB, both with Wi-Fi only (no 3G or 4G here). Neither have expandable memory. It's kind of low, but also extremely cheap, so, you know. Get an Rdio/Netflix/Hulu subscription...
