Google Nexus Released in June. Rumor?

The latest rumors said that Google’s Nexus tablet will reportedly ship in June with an initial volume of 600,000 units per month. Digitimes stated the tablet (which is developed incollaboration with ASUS) is ready to be launched in July. DigiTimes notes that Google initially wanted to release the Nexus tablet in May, but the developers did not come with a satisfactory design and the cost was a little bit high than expected.

Google had to make some modifications and that’s why the launch of the tablet was delayed till July. Google’s hopes for its new device are very high and people expect that the shipments will reach 2.5 million units by the end of the year. Rumor has it that Google’s will be packed with NVIDIA’s quad-core Tegra 3 CPU and could have a very small price, of $199. Most rumors say that the device will be unveiled on June 27th when Google’s annual I/O conference will take place.

It looks like everyone is following Amazon’s steps and want to produce cheaper tablets as Google Nexus is meant to be a direct rival for Kindle Fire in both size and price. Also, it is rumored that Apple will release a tablet around 7.85 inches called iPad Mini. Plus, there is also the 7-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab, so the affordable 7-inch market will be very crowded. There will come a time when almost everybody will own one of these devices, even more than one.

Probably, the Google Nexus Tab will feature Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. However, it seems that the operating system will be upgraded this year (probably in November), so Google can sell its tablet with Android 5.0

The earliest has been reported by Christian Post on April 6, 2012. It said that the rumor release for the upcoming 7-inch Google Nexus tablet has reportedly been set back until July, according to tech site 9to5Google.

The device was originally expected to debut in May, however that date was only a previous rumor that was never officially confirmed by the company.

The news of a July release comes after The Verge published this report earlier today, showing the reasons for the delay.

"The Mountain View team plans to make some design changes and hopes to lower the price from $249," wrote the site. "The tablet, made in partnership with Taiwan's Asustek Computer, currently comes with a 7-inch screen, an Nvidia Tegra 3 quad-core processor, and is Wi-Fi only."

The tablet will also include Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich and Google reportedly hopes to lower the price down into the $149-$199 range in order to better compete with the low-end tablet market leader, the Amazon Kindle Fire.

Other reports surfaced yesterday regarding Apple's rumored iPad mini. The company is reportedly testing a 7.85-inch iPad in its labs, according to Daring Fireball's John Gruber, who revealed the information in a recent podcast.

Gruber was a guest on a Talk Show podcast hosted by Dan Benjamin, who asked him if he thought a 7.85-inch iPad would ever be released. His answer was quite surprising.

"Well, I don't know," said Gruber. "What I do know is that they have one in the lab … a 7.85-inch iPad that runs at 1024 x 768."

He also described this device's capabilities in comparison to its larger predecessors. "It's just like the 9.7-inch iPad shrunk down a little bit," he added. "Apps wouldn't need to be recompiled or redesigned to work optimally on it. It's just the iPad smaller."

According the Mac Rumors, Gruber is reliable source for information pertaining to Apple and its products. He also noted that the company has many products that enter into testing that never actually make it into the open market.

The Disappearing Google Logo

GadgTechWorld.blogspot.com

Here’s a magic trick to surprise your friends with. What they will see is this: you are at the Google homepage, and you casually ask someone to watch the Google logo. Then, you move two of your fingers to completely cover the “o”s in the Google logo. When you remove your fingers, to much surprise, the letters “o” will be missing from the logo. Now you ask your friend to move her fingers over the missing “o”s. After your friend removes the fingers, the logo will be complete again! The trick here? It’s not really the Google homepage you and your friend are looking at – it’s a fake page (darkartsmedia.com/Google.html).  And when you click on the page, the letters of the logo will disappear after five seconds. Clicking again will make them reappear after five more seconds. So when you move your fingers to cover the Google logo, simply click anywhere on the page, and wait a bit before you remove your fingers… and when your friend covers the letters, you click again. (A third click, by the way, will change the page to an actual Google homepage so you can perform searches to “prove” the page is real.)
