Google take battle to Apple!


Google is taking a shot at stealing the iPad's throne with a seven-inch 'Nexus' tablet.
The tablet, which is set to be officially announced at Google's developers conference starting on Wednesday, will be named 'Nexus', which Google gives to all of its flagship machines.
The tablet is said to be available in a white-and-black finish, and contain a high-end 'Tegra3' quad-core chip, pitching it against top-of the-range devices and yet at an extremely competitive price - $250 for the 16GB model, and $199 for the 8GB model.
If these prices translate to the UK - which is possible, if Google's aim is to get the tablet established in the market - that is £160 and £128 respectively.
Android tablets are nothing new, and there have been a batch of good models from the likes of Acer and Samsung, but now Google is fighting with its teeth.
Building a tablet in-house means ends-to-end quality control, and Google may be able to shave the budget right down to the bone with a product that works as a loss-leader' rather than a for-profit device.
Android has huge success with their budget Fire tablet, also based on Android, and it has proved extremely successful in the U.S.
If Google can replicate this success, it could take some of the allure from Apple's great but expensive tablet, as well as attracting more developers to Android, and ensuring other Android manufacturers up their game.

The only issue that worries me is because Android is Open-source, stupid large companies like Apple will shit all over their ideas and use the ideas themselves. I wont be surprised if we soon start seeing Android Beam and Face Unlock coming to iOS 6 or 7 anytime soon. They completely ripped off Androids practically signature notification pull down window. And I prefer Android to iOS any day.

I wonder how many lawsuits will be filed against Google and Asus for making this product.

Hopefully none. Why? The idea of a tablet was not Apple's idea. In fact, it was Microsoft who came up with the idea back around 2000 with the tablet PC. It's all competition though. If Apple sues, why not sue against Android phones? Oh yeah, because once again, it's competition.

I completley agree with the shadow. It is android who comes up with most of the things that make iphones sell. Along with the pull down bar, take multi-tasking for instance. Android had multi-tadking way before ios 4.0 but apple took the idea wrapped up in a nice little package and before you know it there getting praised for the multi-tasking ability in the iphone 4! The same with face time, and siri. Apple is not an innovator. Apple is a verry skillfull con artist.

Yeah, but Apple is lawsuit happy. If they find one patent that is infringed on, no matter how stupid that papent may be, they will sue.Look at Apple vs. Samsung, Motorola, HTC, and Google that are all currently going on around the world. They are ridiculous.
