In my personal opinion I am not fond of android. I have tried it out on many phones and a tablet but couldn't get around the various bugs and glitches of being an open source platform. Whatever your opinion is it is now secret that android is back in the primetime news. They released their new tablet made only by Google called the Nexus 7. Now the release of this tablet may be old news but there are still many questions to the success of this device and what it means for Google and the rest of the tech industry.
Now I believe that this tablet will be the most successful of it's kind running Android however, I don't believe it is the iPad killer. This may not be a bad thing for Google because with a $200 price point this tablet is in a whole different category of price for decent quality android tablets. The Nexus 7 isn't a cheap tablet that you'll find in a Borders; this tablet is the real deal.
Even if this isn't an iPad killer there is no doubt that it is a game changer. The most exciting part of this for me (an iPad user) is the low price tag. Now this Android tablet is an arguable competitor to the iPad at a substantially lower price. In my eyes this will cause for one of 2 things to happen in the whorl of apple.
One thing that might come with this is the long awaited release of the currently fictional iPad Mini. It seems that this smaller version of the iPad will have a smaller screen similar to the Nexus 7 and will also hold a competitive price point to it as well.
However, the other possibility in my eyes if that Apple takes it a step further by upgrading their current iPad and somehow pricing it to be competitive with 7" tablets like the Nexus 7 or the Kindle Fire.
Either way, it will be very interesting to see how the tablet market evolves after the Nexus 7 makes its mark in the tech world. Make sure to voice your opinion by commenting below; what do you think of the Nexus 7, what will other companies EX: Apple or Microsoft do to respond to this tablet successful or not? Make sure to come back for more of the tech new that you every so crave.
