Exactly what we expected. Nice to see that Google and ASUS are delivering.

Would love to see a 10 inch sibling though.

@comp@ddict thanks for the article and I also liked that Site gadgetronica

 

[comp@ddict]

?dOuBtFiRe? - that would just increase the price tag!

 

[vivek.krishnan]

When is this coming to India? Would be itching to get my hands on one!

 

[zhopudey]

Doesn't have a microsd slot, and they charge $50 for the extra 8gb! Nonsense!

 

[YashBhatt]

Specifications look good for a $199 Android Tablet plus its a Nexus

 

[NotMyRealName]

Sux if it doesnt have a microsd slot and BT. very powerful though. I'm very excited about the iBerry Auxus AX03G at the same price range though.

 

[Rahul++]

Pricing looks good $199 for quad core, IPS panel and 1GB RAM isn't a bad deal at all. I hope this is true, I will be getting one for sure

 

[comp@ddict]

Exchange rate will ruin the device. Instead of 10k we might have to shell out near 14-15k instead.

 

[Scorpy]

1gb ram .. thats it :S ?

 

[ras]

+OMG nVidia GeForce 12-core GPU :scared14:
- No rear camera :annoyed:

 

[ayanavish]

When it would be finally available in India, going by the current trend, dollar would be around Rs. 65-70

 

[comp@ddict]

Expect a 15k price tag easily. Making this tablet less of a value tab, but still beats competition.

 

[Altair]

1gb ram .. thats it :S ?

What will you be doing with 2-3GB of ram?

 

[zhopudey]

No 3g either! Does it at least have usb otg?

 

[tech4pk]

I don't feel that much excited except that Google is getting into new biz. We are already having good products with even better specs from Chinese and they are lot better.
I am sure that this google's pricing would set a benchmark for these devices, which would force the key players like the apple, amazon (for kindle), b&n, etc to cut their product prices and launch new products. We are going to witness the greatest revolution soon!!

Here's Anandtech's mini review.

 

[aproxymate]

Would have pre-ordered in a flash if it had extendable memory :no2:

 

[Aman27deep]

Seriously, no SD slot is a massive buzzkill.

I had waited for this a long time but now i think i'm ordering the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 P3100 instead.
