Galaxy Tablet

Google is due to release it's very own tablet (think galaxy nexus, but a tablet form) on Wednesday. The rumour mills have been rife but today has seen the most convincing (and hopefully true) information drop so far.

On the grapevine, the Nexus 7, is a 7inch tablet that will be running Jelly Bean (Google IOS 4.1) on a Tegra 3 1.3ghz processor and 1GB RAM. There will be a 1280 by 800 resolution IPS display, 9hr battery and NFC support also, all built by Asus. Doesn't sound bad, does it? Certainly the vanilla version of software will be nice, along with Google promising that they will be in charge of updating software.

And the price? Around about £160. Now I've got your attention! In Amazon Kindle Fire territory, if it gets in there first then could sweep up most of the market. I know I'm certainly considering selling by Tab 10.1 and going for this instead!

We'll keep you updated as the device is released at 5.30pm on Wednesday. Until then, definitely food for thought.
