Nexus Tablet coming Next, says Schmidt
Eric Schmidt told an Italian Newspaper that, in the next 6 months they are planning on releasing a tablet of the highest quality, that will be competing against the iPad. Google has been putting out pure devices with the Nexus branding on their phones and maybe, now is the time to start with the tablets.
The Motorola Xoom’s have been the flagship tablets from Google up to now, and that possibly might not change with Google now owning Motorola Mobility. Only time will tell what Google comes out with but whatever it is, they better get ready, if your going to compete with the iPad right now you have an uphill battle ahead.
