As the name suggests, the Google Nexus 7 features a 7" IPS display with a resolution of 1280x800 pixels. The tablet is powered by a 1.3GHz quad-core Tegra 3 chip with 1GB of RAM and 12 core ultra-low voltage nVidia GeForce GPU.

And despite the capable hardware, Google managed to keep the price of the Nexus 7 impressively low. The slate will come in 8GB and 16GB flavors, which will retail for $199 and $249 respectively.

The Google Nexus 7 comes with Wi-Fi a/b/g/n, Bluetooth and NFC connectivity and Google Wallet preinstalled. Sadly, there isn’t a 3G model available, but obviously keeping the price as low as possible was key here. That's also the reason there isn't a camera at the back, and only a 1.2MP front-facing snapper. However, it's capable of shooting 720p video, so it's not all bad.

Measuring 198.5 x 120 x 10.5 mm the 7-incher weighs in at 340 grams which is respectful for its size. The Amazon Kindle Fire and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 will be having a hard time indeed.

Here's the promo video of the Google Nexus 7.

The price point is great. It does not have an SD slot, but ICS support USB host mode. You can always hook up a hard drive to it for extra storage. They sell micro usb to usb adapters. If you buy a thumb drive and the adapter, you will have plenty of extra storage. It will not be as pretty as having a microsd slot, but it will not take up too much space either. For $200 you cannot complain.

hook up a hard drive?? no one wants to connect a harddrive to a damn tablet LOL [pic]

Aside from that, this tablet is going to change the game. Accessible to any income, i wish it had more memory, that's the only thing keeping me from pulling the trigger and letting my Touchpad retire.

I, for one, couldn't care less about the storage. I barely use the storage on my 16GB iPad 2 and I have tons of apps and music. Only things I really need.
