Google Nexus 10 picks up nightly CyanogenMod 10.1 updates
Catching up with its smartphone relative, the Samsung-made Nexus 10 is now ready to run CyanogenMod 10.1′s latest experimental builds. While these (slightly unstable) alpha builds have their roots in the same version of Google’s mobile OS (that is, Android 4.2) it’s a good chance to see what third-party developers have planned for that crisp 10-inch display. If you’re holding out for the finished deal, you’ll be waiting a little longer as there’s still no word on when the final build will be up for grabs. For now, you can download the interim versions at the source below.

Google Nexus 7 tablet hands-on Reviews,Video
We had a pretty good idea that this little guy was going to be making an appearance at Google I/O this morning and, sure enough, it’s here. Not only is it here, it’s in our hands. Meet the Google Nexus 7, an ASUS-designed device with minimal branding and a clean version of the latest flavor of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Join us after the break for a rundown of what this $199 Fire-fighter feels like to use.
First, the specs. It’s a 7-inch device, with a 1280 x 800 IPS LCD that clocks in at 400 nits of brightness. That’s powered by a NVIDIA Tegra 3 T30L quad-core processor running at 1.2GHz. Wireless connectivity is 802.11b/g/n and Bluetooth as well, but there’s no WWAN connectivity here, so you’ll want to stay close to a hotspot. Finally, there’s 1GB of RAM and either 8 or 16GB of storage. Read More »

Alleged Google Nexus 7 tablet images surface
A pair of images hitting the Internet today have the Android community in a tizzy over the possible first photos of the fabled Nexus Tablet. Initially posted on PhoneArena, the two pictures give a decent, albeit blurry, look at the rumored device.
The front side of the device photographed has a white face, while the rear side looks to have two colors, black up top and silver along the bottom. Given the position and orientation of the Google logo, the tablet looks to be designed for portrait mode as opposed to Android’s more popular landscape mode. Meanwhile, the ASUS logo at the bottom clearly indicates who has designed the hardware and matches up with some long-held rumors. Read More »

Google starts selling phones again, tablets appear to be next
Some two years after Google first attempted to sell phones online on its own, the company will try once more. Google Tuesday added a section called “Devices”to Google Play–the first device to appear is Samsung Galaxy Nexus.
The phone is unlocked and runs Android 4.0 or “Ice Cream Sandwich.” What is notable is the price: $399. At that price point, the unlocked Nexus costs far less than what many higher-end unlocked smartphones go for these days. Here’s how it would compare to what consumers would pay on contract: On Verizon and Sprint, the Nexus is $200 with a two-year contract. Read More »

Google better get its own tablet released, and soon
A recurring rumor that pops up regularly is that Google is going to sell its own branded Android Tablet. It is believed this will be part of the Google Play rebranding of the Android Market. The Google Nexus Tablet, or whatever it may be called, would be subsidized to keep the price down.
While some feel Google better not make such a move and compete with its partners, one simple fact just pointed out by AllThingsD says just the opposite. Google better get its own cheap tablet out and soon, as there are now more tablets in users’ hands running Amazon’s version of Android than there are running Google’s Android. Read More »

Google Nexus Tablet Delayed Until July
It’s a never a dull moment in the tablet world, especially for those watching on the sidelines as the heavyweights all try to reposition the launches of their new devices for maximum market advantage.
New to the field is Google: Not as a result of its mobile operating system, Android, which finds a home on approximately 39 percent of tablets worldwide, but because the company doesn’t actually manufacture or sell a tablet of its very own. And it still won’t come July (at the earliest), for Google’s ambitious plan to step into the tablet market with its own seven-inch device isn’t going to be an independent affair. The company is expected to directly sell a tablet co-created by Asustek Computer. Read More »
