Google Nexus 7 is now official, comes in July for $199 - read the full textGoogle officially unveiled the Nexus 7 tablet at the Google I/O Developer Conference in San Francisco. Manufactured by ASUS, this is Google's first take on a tablet of their own brand. As the name suggests, the Google Nexus 7 features a 7" IPS display with a resolution of 1280x800 pixels....

from what I here (only from comments - not formal announcement - the battery is non removable) it's a bit of a con - and I blame journalist for not reporting this or asking the right questions...but considering the thing will be obsolete in a year and a battery would probably cost £60 then I think in reflection that they got it right...if say a removable battery would have put the price above £200.

This is not a GSM device, it will not work on any GSM network worldwide.

Well so what. Just speed, I guess for the games market. Suggest the size is ok, but people will pay the price for function, such as where is the 3G and voice call ability, and a decent camera. It cant be that expensive to include, otherwise why buy it. I rather spend twice the price or more on something like Samsung 7.

Was hoping this had a sim or micro sim card slot so I could use the internet without having wifi. Another tablet that is missing the point. I dont want to tether, its inconvenient and requires carry more equipment around with you.

If it had a Pixel-Qi (normal screen and e-ink screen together) to read books comfortably on the beach or on natural light conditions, I would buy it. As it hasn't this important feature for me, I'll continue with the Notion Ink Adam Pixel-Qi tablet.

Excellent news. Cheap and cheerful tab that can be used when away from the PC/Laptop, and one that receives all future updates first.
