Google Nexus 7 tablet, India launch October 2012


Google Nexus 7, the tablet developed in partnership with Asus, will launch in India in September end or October this year. But right now available with shopping.indiatimes.com at a premium. The 7-inch tablet is first Nexus branded tablet and hence runs Google's Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean operating software. 



Currently users in US can book their tablet from Staples, walmart.com and Google Store. Google store will charge shipment charges whereas at Staples shipment is free. From August the tablet will be available at their store across US.

8 Gig version is now available at indiatimes.com, but they are charging Rs 16500 for it, whereas in US it costs $199 i.e Rs 11500. The same can be bought from ebay.in also.


I guess 16 gig version is worth purchasing as there is no provision for memory extension.
