So,
you wanted to buy the Google Nexus 7, but gave up hope knowing the
delay in official Indian launches? Well, there is some hope for you if
you want to desperately get this tablet. The Nexus 7 has started
cropping up on a couple of online sites. Indiatimes Shopping has
the tablet in stock and they have priced the Nexus 7 at Rs. 16,952. EMI
options are available on the site as well. Online store eBay.in has
a seller that ships the product to India within 14 days, which we’re
guessing is still quicker than whatever the official launch date may be
(that is if Google is still planning to get it here). The seller has
priced it at Rs. 17,690 for the 8GB version which roughly translates to
around $321. To remind you, Google’s pricing was $199.

For those of you’ll living inside a box, the Google Nexus 7 tablet was
announced at the recently concluded Google I/O 2012 event. Google has
added a ton of high-end hardware to the mix and has kept the price down
to a minimum by pricing it at $199 for the base model, which comes in a
storage capacity of 8GB. This tablet, manufactured by ASUS is not just
designed to take on Apple’s highly successful iPad, but will also pose a
stiff threat to the Amazon Kindle Fire and Google aims to tackle the
competition better with its pricing strategy. The Google Nexus 7 tablet
is available in two storage capacities, which are 8GB and 16GB and the
brand has priced it extremely competitively at $199 and $249,
respectively.

As far as connectivity is concerned, there had been rumours that the
Google Nexus 7 tablet would not come equipped with 3G connectivity, in
order to keep the price to a minimum and the brand have done just that.
The connectivity options found on this flagship Google Nexus 7 tablet,
include Wi-Fi a/b/g/n, Bluetooth and NFC capabilities. This tablet also
comes with Google Wallet pre-installed. As for the camera featured here,
it comes as no surprise that Google has just added only a front facing
camera that can be used for video calls, but what is interesting is that
this camera can shoot HD 720p videos. When it comes to the size, this
7-inch tablet measures 198.5 x 120 x 10.5 mm and weighs 340g. These
dimensions allow it to go head-to-head with the Amazon Kindle Fire.
The Google Nexus 7 will be the first device running on Google’s latest
operating software, which is Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. As for the
availability, consumers from United States, Canada, Australia and the UK
can pre-order the tablet from the Google Play store. Google have
announced that the delivery for this tablet is scheduled for mid-July.
