Pros and Cons of Nexus 7's specs...

Okay, we all have our opinions as to weather the Nexus 7 tablet by Google & Asus will either fail or be a great hit on the market. Here is a list of pros and cons of what the Nexus 7 tablet offers. Before writing this, I read reviews, comments and have looked over the specs myself, so this can be taken as a summary of opinions.

Pros:
- Nvidia Tegra 3 processor (with 12 core GPU)
- High resolution screen (216PPI)
- Jelly Bean out of the box and bound to receive update to next major version of Android.
- Very cheap ($199/£159 for 8GB, $249/£199 for 16GB)
- NFC, can be used to share stuff and pay for stuff.

Cons:
- No MicroSD card (will have to rely on cloud storage, but then have to rely on internet being available if on the go)
- No Flash player (Adobe announced that they will not support the next iteration of the Android OS)
- No rear-facing camera (Some people including me like to have this feature.)
- Not 3G/4G compatible (may be able to sort using a 3G dongle


Pros or at least what I think are the pros of the Nexus 7 out-weight cons but some cons will be a deal breaker for some people nevertheless. For me, no Micro-SD card is a deal breaker but I have resolved this situation with cloud storage but I have to rely on places I'm visiting having WiFi available for me to use to access files. 

Nexus 7 unveiled...

Google has unveiled their much anticipated Nexus 7 tablet at yesterdays keynote at the Google I/O developers conference in San Francisco. The tablet which will retail for $199/£159 features a lot of high-end hardware including a Tegra 3 processor and IPS screen.

The full specs of the were leaked and are confirmed to be what was leaked, the device's specs are as follows, the device has a 7-inch IPS screen with a resolution of 800x1280, it is powered by a quad-core Tegra 3 processor with a 12 core GPU. The tablet only a front-facing camera with a resolution of 1.2-megapixels, other features include 8/16GB of memory ($249/£199 for 16GB), NFC for use with Android Beam and last but definitely not least, it runs Android 4.1 "Jelly Bean" out of the box.

Acer unveil Iconia A110...

Original location

Acer has unveiled the Iconia A110, an 7-inch android tablet that offers Tegra 3 and Android 4.0 with a sub-$200 price mark. Sound similar? Google has a competitor on it's hands but I suppose they expected it. Plus, theirs the thought that when Google announces their's it might feature Jelly Bean (Android 4.1).

The tablet packs a 7-inch display with a resolution of 600x1024, it is powered by Nvidia's Tegra 3 built on their newly announced Kai architecture with 1GB of RAM. The tablet includes a front-facing presumably VGA resolution camera for video calling, it also comes with 8/16GB of internal storage with the added choice to expand that by means of MicroSD card.

Overall, this is just a device for people that can't wait until the Google I/O conference. Trust me, I'd wait to see what Google/Asus's device offers and then decide which to buy, I mean both devices are planning on marketing for less than $200 so you won't loose loads of money if you do eventually go for the Nexus 7 tablet.
