DIGITIMES-"Google, following the launch of Nexus 7 tablet models in June 2012, will unveil a Nexus tablet model for US$99 later in the fourth quarter of 2012, according to Taiwan-based supply chain makers."
Yet another piece of the puzzle is in place. The Nexus 9 FCC filing is another clue as to a possible release date.
Slate: In the fall of 2010, Steve Jobs made an unusual appearance on an Apple earnings call. He’d come to rant. The CEO had prepared a nine-minute broadside against Android, Google’s mobile operating system, and all of the Android tablets that were being rushed into production to take on the iPad. Many of those devices carried 7-inch screens, making them substantially smaller than the iPad, whose display is nearly 10 inches diagonally.
Pocket-Lint: All fingers point to Google I/O for the launch of the rumoured Asus Nexus tablet. The event, which is set to take place on 27 June, should also see the latest version of Android, Jelly Bean, make an appearance on the Asus tablet. So what to expect from the Nexus device? What do we want? And what are we likely to get?
