Google reportedly to announce Nexus tablet at I/O conference Google is reportedly going to announce a 7-inch tablet at its I/O developer conference this week. Paul Sakuma/Associated Press June 25, 2012, 11:50 a.m. Google will announce a Nexus-branded 7-inch Android tablet at its developer conference later this week, according to a report. The tablet, which is believed to be called the Nexus 7, is expected to be the first device to run Google's next Android OS, Jelly Bean, and be available for $199 for an 8 GB model and $249 for 16 GB. The Nexus 7 is being reported by Gizmodo Australia, which claims to have gotten its details from a training document that says the device could arrive, at least Down Under, as early as next month. The announcement of the tablet is expected to come at some point during Google I/O, the company's conference that is being held in San Francisco and begins Wednesday. The in-house Google tablet, which has been rumored for a while, is built by Asus and has a 1.3Ghz quad-core Tegra 3 process. It has 1 GB of RAM and it has a GeForce 12-core GPU. The Nexus 7 is also expected to come with NFC and run Google Wallet as well as Android Beam. The report says the tablet will have a battery that lasts nine hours, an ISP display with a 178-degree viewing angle and a screen resolution of 1,280 by 800 pixels. It is also expected to have a 1.2 megapixel front-facing camera and a 10-point touch capability. Rumors that Google may sell its own tablet have been circulating since late March, so news of a tablet isn't shocking but the possible details are fresh news.
