[edit]Development
In an interview in December 2011 with an Italian newspaper, Google's Eric Schmidt had confirmed that the company would unveil a tablet within 6 months, owing to increased competition between the company and Apple. While Schmidt did not specifically refer to it as such, it was inferred to be a Nexus device.[2] By May 2012, information and benchmarks began to leak about the tablet—revealing that it would be an Asus-produced device known as the "Nexus 7", which would have a 7-inch screen, a quad-core Tegra 3 processor, and version 4.1 of Android.[3]
Google officially unveiled the Nexus 7 at its I/O developers conference in San Francisco on June 27, 2012. The device is intended to take advantage of the content available through web services such as Google Play—including e-books, music, television programs, and films.[4] It was given out to Google I/O attendants, along with a Galaxy Nexus cellphone with Jelly Bean pre-installed, the Nexus Q, and a Chromebox the following day.
