Confirmed: Google Nexus Tablet

Hey folks! This post is gonna talk about the newly leaked "Official" specs and photos of the upcoming Google Nexus 7 tablet. Coming from the rumored specs, it is pretty much else spot on so let's begin!

It is indeed a 7" display but with a twist! It's an IPS panel with a resolution of 1280 by 800 (Pretty slick for a 7" Tablet!). After that we have the nVida Tegra 3 Quad core and this is where it surprises me. It actually will have the identical processor of the ASUS TF300 series, which is clocked at 1.3GHz. It will come with 1GB RAM just like the rumors said and the front facing camera is 1.2MP so slightly "less" than the rumor. A cool addition is the NFC Chip capability which still has much more time to improve and become awesome-r. The internal SD card memory is either 8GB for $199 and 16GB for $249. As of now, we're still not too sure about the MicroSD however, Google I/O starts tomorrow so, we can all wait patiently :D

That's all for today! I will keep you guys posted in the event tomorrow and I might also talk about the New Google TV, yay!

Google Nexus Tablet

Hey peoples! This post will be a summary of all news surrounding the Google Nexus tablet. Quick note, this isn't part of the "Big Five Nexus Devices" but a cheap Android tablet which will be carrying the latest Android system. Take a look at a "supposed" leaked picture and take a look at a Mock up. In my opinion, they both look good :)

Leaked Picture...Note: Turns out it's a fake!

Mock Up...Note: Not the ASUS Memo Pad!

Plenty of websites have already talked about the rumored specs and most probably it is true. The tablet will be co-manufactured by Google and ASUS. It will be 7" with the resolution of 1280 by 768. What this means is that you will be able to watch 720p videos and the remainder of the Res will be for the bottom Navbar, again just speculation! It will have an nVidia Tegra 3 quad core, most likely an even less clocked than the ASUS TF300, so I'm guessing 1GHz. Followed by 1GB RAM which is a pretty sweet addition. In terms of Camera, they removed the back one and I love that idea...I mean seriously? You want me to take pictures with a Tablet, cmon! However, it will include a 1.3MP front facing camera which would be meant for Video calling. Now, we all know that it will come with Ice Cream Sandwich BUT with the anticipated Jelly Bean release, it might actually come with it too. The rumored name is the Nexus 7 and this makes me believe that by some chance there might be a Nexus 10, fingers crossed :D

I wish for Chrome might become the Default browser for Android real soon and I hope that at the I/O, Google will announce the Full release of the app. I love it so far, the speed is amazing, the look is simple and clean but I would also like Flash support since most websites still use "Adobe technology."

That's all for this slight wrap up on the Nexus 7. Stay tuned for more news on the Google I/O!

Get your dose of: Weekly News Roundup!

I'm so sorry peoples! I have been caught up in work and couldn't find enough time to keep this updated. NOW, this will definitely change, I'll save some time for you peeps and provide my opinion on the latest news! So, without waiting for too long, let's get started :D

My Next Phone
So, it turns out that I will be "Upgrading" my phone soon and the device that stands out for me is the Samsung Galaxy SIII, Android's Top dog for 2012. Sadly though, I will be getting the North American version which is based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Dual Core Krait CPU...which is not bad at all, being clocked at 1.5GHz and kicking ass in the Benchmarks but I would have loved the awesome Quad core Exynos. GPU wise, it is slightly better than the average phone with the Adreno 225. Anywho, that's what I'll be getting soon so expect an UBOXING, a ROOTING video guide and Custom ROMs :D

Oh btw, it just got released in the US on June 20th and in Canada it's gonna show up on the 27th...hope I can get mine then!

Android 4.1 aka Jelly Bean
 I hope you guys are not as surprised as I was when I saw Google's slight slip up on the Play Store. For a while now, you are able to buy an Unlocked "Pure" Galaxy Nexus from the Play Store in the US. Just today, the description when you went yo add one to your basket was, "The latest smartphone from Google, soon the first phone with Android 4.1, Jelly Bean"

Well, that's quite a slip up so most probably this will be displayed at Google I/O 2012. In terms of Rumors go, the only one that was constantly floating around was the Dual Booting into Chrome OS but again, we have no 100% proof.

That's all that's going on at this moment BUT I will definitely bring you updates on the Google I/O which is gonna be up and running from the 27th to the 29th.
