Barnes & Noble said back in January that it might sell off its Nook business, prompting Microsoft to invest $300 million in the bookseller.
Seven inch or 10 inch, that is the question. Everyone is aiming to take down the mighty iPad in the tablet wars where bigger may not always be better. Google and ASUS just launched the new 7” Nexus 7 tablet. It’s cheap, fast and slick but should it be your next tablet? Can it replace the mighty iPad?
At first glance, the Nexus 7 looks like a giant touchscreen phone. The front is all glass (Corning Gorilla Glass to be specific.) It’s about 10.5mm thick. For comparison, the iPhone 4S is 9.3mm thick. In other words, it's thin. The back is a soft plastic splattered with dimples and a few brand names. There is a power button and volume rocker on the right side and a headphone jack and micro USB plug on the bottom. It has a front-facing 1.2 megapixel camera but no rear camera. Think video chatting but don't plan on taking pictures with it. That’s about it. It has a simple, clean, sleek look.
The goods are on the inside. ASUS and Google packed the Nexus 7 with power. It runs on a quad-core Tegra 3 1.3Ghz processor, a beautiful 7” 1280x800 HD screen and a battery such as <canon NB-1L battery , canon NB-2L battery , canon BP-511 battery , canon NB-5L battery , canon NB-4L battery , canon NB-5H battery , nikon CR-V3 battery , nikon EN-EL2 battery , Olympus FE-250 battery , Fujifilm NP-40 battery , Samsung VP-MS12 battery , Sharp VR-BL1 battery that will give you 10 hours of web browsing on one charge. Google says that battery life is only knocked down to 9 hours when watching video.
The Nexus 7 runs Google’s newest version of Android, 4.1. It’s also known by it's code name, Jelly Bean . If you’ve used Ice Cream Sandwich (version 4.0) then it’ll look familiar. Android keeps getting better and Jelly Bean simply improves upon Android. I don’t think it’s better or worse than iOS, it’s just different. Android proves on the Nexus 7 that it can be used effectively on a tablet.
I do want to mention that Android 4.0 on 10” tablets reformats to a slightly different interface. It’s still the same backend but the layout is different for the larger screen. I would like to have that option on the Nexus 7 but instead it’s tied to the standard phone layout. This means, if you’ve used Android 4 on a smartphone, you’ll recognize the same layout on the Nexus 7. If you've used an Android 10" tablet (like the Motorola Xoom) the layout will be slightly different.
