Google and Asustek are working together on a 7 inch tablet that will debut on May, according to industry sources and this new model is expected to be that rumored Nexus slate we have been hearing so much about. This theory was also detailed here, less than a week ago.
The same inside sources say that the device will be priced at $199 – $249, in order to rival the likes of the Amazon Kindle Fire and Nook Tablet. Google went out looking for partners to deliver this product at the end of 2011 and HTC was seen as a potential associate for this idea, but they didn’t comply with the low price model idea. Acer did not have the R&D capability, so ASUS was the final choice, because of good product quality and ODM capability.
