Every person is all abuzz about Google breaking into the tablet marketplace with its new Nexus 7, which is set to be released at the end of July. Based on its specs, this new chunk of Technology is primed to douse the flames of Amazon's Kindle Fire, even though it isn't likely to take much of a bite from Apple's iPad sales. Although the new Google device has restored the rumors that Apple could soon put out a 7' iPad mini.
Both the Kindle Fire and the Nexus 7 are priced at $199 for an 8GB machine. Google also provides a $249 16GB edition, but the appeal of a Google tablet surpasses its affordability.
A few of the features early fanatics are excited about include:
* Cpu: 1.3GHz quad-core Tegra 3
* Weight: .75 lbs
* Thickness: .41'
* Operating system: Jelly Bean/android 4.1 with improved voice recognition and responsiveness
* Screen: Vibrant HD display
* Pixels: 1280X800 (216 ppi)
* Storage: 8GB or 16GB
* Battery: 9+ hour battery life (Some owners have documented 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
* Available: End of July
* Pricing: $199-$249 (Up to 30% discount with GameStop trade-in.)
Nexus 7 Limitations
Although the Google Nexus 7 delivers a large amount of abilities specifically designed to lure those in search of a gadget at a reasonable cost, but there are some negative aspects. Of course some sacrifices can be predicted with any modestly valued tablet.
Storage: Although Google is distributing each an 8GB and a 16GB model of the Nexus 7, neither device includes a microSD port, meaning simply no extended storage space. A few have complained that the lower-cost 8gb version can be filled after getting merely 3 to 5 movies, suggesting that the $249 version may be the smarter selection.
Wireless: The shortage of memory space is allegedly solved by streaming media and media through Google Play & Google Drive; even so with out 3G / 4G Wireless options, the information kept in the cloud won't regularly be available, which may turn into a source of frustration for those using their gadget on the fly. Media: Like the 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 tiny in comparison of the Amazon market.
Media: Just like the Kindle Fire, the main function of the Nexus 7 is to encourage users to purchase media from the Google Play store; however the variety of options is somewhat modest in comparison.
Improving Nexus 7 Media Options
Nevertheless, the business does offer approximately 500,000 apps on Google Play, thousands of motion pictures, over 3 million free e books and hundreds of for sale digital books. In addition, countless tunes are for sale on Google music and the company is continually increasing its collection. In case these small choices aren't enough Nexus 7 users can easily build upon these media options by using a Kindle e book application, Amazon Cloud music application, and any Android-compatible apps.
