Google has made a presence in the market for mini-tablets thanks to the Nexus 7 was launched a few months ago. The Nexus 7 has impressive hardware and with the ecosystem that Google offers, it is certainly a worthy competitor to the Amazon Kindle Fire.
However, Google Nexus plans to introduce more tablets before the year expires. Or at least that's what the rumors say. DigiTimes has reported that Google is working with Asus to launch a Nexus tablet quite affordable price, specifically $ 99.
The tablet, if what he says DigiTimes proves to be true, it could really turn the tide in favor of Google. A Google tablet of only $ 99 probably would fly off the shelves in stores.
However, Google will have to make a number of amendments to make a tablet so cheap. The current Nexus tablet 7 screen has 1280 × 800 and is powered by a quad-core Tegra 3. In a $ 99 tablet, if it comes true, Google would have to reduce these specifications. The company could even launch a tablet with advertising, following in the footsteps of Amazon.
DigiTimes says that the tablet will launch this holiday season, apparently in time to compete against the iPad mini of course also many rumors circulating.
