Google Nexus 7 tablet Australian availability

Posted on 07:42 by Unknown
The Google Nexus 7 tablet has now been announced. It is available now for per-order by Australians on the Google store with delivery stated as 2-3 weeks.

There is an 8GB model for $249 and a 16GB model for $299. Given the current exchange rate these prices are dearer than the US prices and Google could have been a bit more aggressive with their pricing. At least however Australia has been included in the initial launch.

The Nexus 7 is a seven inch tablet which will come with the latest version of Android 4.1 (also known as Jelly Bean).

If there is one thing I would have liked to see in the tablet, it would be a HDMI connector to connect to a larger screen.

I have an Acer A200 tablet with Android 4 which I find to be flaky. The issues appear to be related to the Android software (mostly with the browser) so hopefully Android 4.1 is an improvement. I'd recommend testing a unit before ponying up the money.
