I’m not so sure about this one, but PocketNow is claiming that there is a good chance that the image above is the rumored Google Nexus tablet that will rival the Kindle Fire on price, clocking in somewhere around $150-$250. Unfortunately, the site seems to base this claim entirely on speculation. Whoever sent them this picture didn’t even specify what it was. It could be anything.
While the device does appear to run an unmodified version of Android 4.0, that doesn’t mean much; in the tablet world, not every manufacturer heavily modifies Android. It also appears to be larger than the rumored 7-inch form factor, and there’s no sign that this is made by Asus. It looks kind of like an Asus device, but it’s so generically designed that it could be mistaken for a Lenovo tablet or Chinese iPad knockoff just as easily.
Honestly, this picture is all we have currently, and it could very easily be a complete fake or a shot of some completely different tablet. It’s almost silly that we’re even posting this, but hey, if this is the big Google Tablet, you’ll be one of the first to see it. That’s something, right?
Currently, Google is expected to debut its tablet plans sometime around the CTIA Wireless trade show on May 8-10. This could change, but we’ll keep you posted.
I want a tablet that isn’t 499 and that is good and popular.
Your tablet has to be popular? That’s an odd requirement for a device you use alone.
Yea because I don’t want a tablet that others don’t like, I look at the tablet, then I look at others, then I’m like eww no. I’m under 18 though, so… I like the Asus Transformer Prime, but the only problem is the price. I would like a good tablet made by Google. Nexus phone is good too, so the tablet should be good.
Actually it’s an HTC tablet
The picture is or Google’s rumored Nexus Tablet with Asus? Where did ya learn this?
It looks like an HTC tablet is what I meant.
You’d think you could copy an iPad for a lot less money.
You would think! Especially after 2 years.
All I need to know to stay excited is that $150 price point. It could look completely different from the photos above, but if it is that reasonably priced and a solid product, I’m still sold.
LMAO. doubtful. Waay too many drones using Kindle and waaay too many titles tied into the proprietary platform. Amazon continues to strong arm everyone, esp. the little guy independent publishers.
