Just caught my eyes on this new baby that was launched at the Google I/O on June 27th 2012. The
Google Nexus 7 Tablet. A poor man's super tablet. It weighs just 34gms much lighter than the iPad or Kindle and way cheaper compared to the iPad at $199 for the 8Gb version. It has a Quadcore processor "
meaning everything is faster – pages load quickly, gameplay is smooth and responsive,
and running multiple apps is a breeze". It doesn't have all the features what an iPad would have, but it does have all the features that you would require to do all your work. In short, it might feed your need but not your greed. The Nexus 7 is scheduled to launch mid July in the United States. It might take a while before it hits the Indian shores. So keep your fingers crossed and hope for a good review for this piece of amazing gadget.
