This is what Google should have done a year and a half ago.
Totally different from the iPad (size/price) and well differentiated in the consumer's mind.
Instead they went with a lot of "mee-too" expensive 10.1" tablets that have been utter failures. For avg. consumers the thought process was "Its not an iPad, has less Apps, and is COSTLIER????"
At this price point and not having the "cheap crap" label is going to drive a LOT of sales (in my opinion). Unfortunately "Android Tablet" has gotten a slightly bad rap by now...
- joenathan 14y agoWhat are you talking about? This is Google's first Nexus tablet, not only that but there have always been Android tablets at that size, even before Google had a tablet ready OS(Honeycomb), like the original Galaxy Tab http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Tab http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Tab and the Nook Color, just to name a couple.
- suprgeek 14y agoGoogle threw their weight behind a bunch of 10.1 tablets before this [1],[2]. Both these were priced higher than the iPad at launch. I Never said there was a previous "Nexus" branded tablet or that there were no 7" Androids at all.
