The report said the Nexus 7 will run the latest Android version, Jelly Bean, and a high-end Nvidia Tegra 3 quad-core processor. The documents also revealed the $199 price tag for a low-end version,
The manufacturing cost structure and the $199 price tag indicate that the Google device is intended to take on the 7-in. Amazon Kindle Fire tablet, not the 9.7-in. iPad that starts at $499, said Tom Mainelli, an analyst at IDC.
In 2011, the iPad commanded 59% of the global tablet market, while Amazon had 6.9%, IDC said.
With the combination of a high-end Tegra 3 quad-core processor and other cost-efficient features, the Nexus 7 could be a winning piece of hardware, but it has to compete against tablets coming from Asus and Acer with similar price tags and functionality, analysts have noted.
The 7-in. Acer Iconia Tab A110, shown at Computex earlier this month, is expected to sell for less than $200, and will also include a quad-core Tegra 3 processor.
Is it a "need"? (Nope .. I can live with what I have now to use)
Do I have savings? (yes, but that is for contingencies)
Will I make this purchase just because it is a new toy ..
NOPE ..
I won't bring it home .. because it doesn't fit in my budget plan
Apple? Never. I know how to use a computer.
I thought kindle was an e-Reader?
I have a regular desktop computer at home but after being in the office all day the last thing I want to do is sit in a chair, on the computer at home BUT I still want to be on the internet. So I decided to get a net book so I can sit in my room on the bed and remain online. I also started a tumblr page documenting my life as a 30 something, single mother of an infant. The longer I take making this decision the less I am online reading articles, blogging, bitching on SH and documenting me child's life. It's making me nuts! Right now I'm reading an article hoping it helps.
