The Google Nexus 7 was in the news recently for it started cropping up on a couple of online sites. We had earlier reported that Indiatimes Shopping had the tablet in stock and had priced the Nexus 7 at Rs 16,952. EMI options were available on the retail website as well. Online store eBay.in had a seller that shipped the product to India within 14 days, which we are guessing is still quicker than whatever the official launch date may be. The seller has priced it at Rs 17,690 for the 8GB version, which roughly converts to around $321. To remind you, Google’s price for this base mode is $199.

The 7-inch tablet measures 198.5 x 120 x 10.5 mm, and weighs 340g. These dimensions allow it to go head-to-head with the Amazon Kindle Fire. The Google Nexus 7 will be the first device running on Google’s latest operating software, which is Android v4.1 (Jelly Bean).

Saying that the Asus co-manufactured Google Nexus 7 is a tablet doing well in the market would be a complete understatement. This 7-inch flagship is literally flying off the shelves. So what does a brand do to make it even better? Offer a variant loaded with 3G capabilities, of course. This will come as some great news for those holding out for a 3G 7-inch tablet with high-end specifications as the Google Nexus with 3G capabilities is certainly a tablet that can stand its own amongst some of the best in the competition, if not thwart them altogether.
