Google launches Nexus 7 tablet, Jelly Bean and spherical Nexus Q device for home use



Computerworld - As expected, Google on Wednesday announced a $199, 7-in. tablet called Nexus 7 that will run on Android 4.1, a.k.a. Jelly Bean.


Built with Asus, the tablet can be ordered starting today on Google Play, and will ship in the U.S. and three other countries in mid-July, Google said.
Google described the tablet as principally a conduit for Google Play, its cloud-based repository for Google apps and movies, books and other content. Nexus 7 is "built for Google Play," said Hugo Barra, product management director for Android at Google.
At Google I/O, its annual developer conference, Google also introduced a spherical Android-based media player called Nexus Q, which is designed to receive music and other content from Android smartphones and tablets and distribute it over home stereos and TV screens.
Google Play will launch on the home screen of the Nexus 7, and people who purchase the new tablet will get a $25 credit toward Google Play content, such a music, e-books and movies. The Nexus 7 screen features 1280-x-800-pixel resolution, which is good for watching movies, playing games and viewing other content, Barra said.

Google also listed a series of improvements that are included in Android 4.1, including paid app encryption to help developers protect their intellectual property and an on-device speech recognition engine that eliminates the need for speech input to work over a wireless connection.

Jelly Bean will also ship in the Galaxy Nexus and Motorola Xoom smartphones in mid-July and will be available as open source at that time, according to Google. A developer blog on the improvements was posted at the same time that Android 4.1 was announced on stage during the Google I/O opening keynote.

In a side-by-side demonstration of a device running Android 4.1 and a device running Android 4.0 during the keynote, Google demonstrated that Jelly Bean features a smoother and more responsive user interface than its predecessor, which is known as Ice Cream Sandwich and was launched last October.
Given the price and focus on content streaming from Google Play, analysts said the Nexus 7 tablet will primarily serve the same audience as the Amazon Kindle Fire, a $199, 7-in. device that Amazon is expected to update in July.

  1. Hello there! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site?
    I'm getting tired of Wordpress because I've had issues with hackers and
    I'm looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

  23. I tend not to drop a leave a response, however
    I browsed a few of the comments here "Google launches Nexus 7 tablet, Jelly Bean and spherical Nexus Q device for home use".

    I do have a couple of questions for you if
    you don't mind. Is it just me or do some of the responses appear like they are coming from brain dead visitors?
    :-P And, if you are posting on additional social sites, I would like to follow everything fresh you have to post.
    Could you post a list of the complete urls of all your social community sites like your
    twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
