A recent
teardown of the Google Nexus 7 tablet by IHS iSuppli revealed that the online
search giant may earn a small profit from the sales of the tablet.
The teardown
revealed that the components that were used in making the Google Nexus 7 tablet
have a total cost of around $152. The tablet, which will feature an 8GB
internal storage, will be sold by the company within the month at a price of
$199. The teardown also revealed that the bigger the internal storage, the
bigger the profit since the components of the 16GB model of the tablet will
have a total cost of around $159. The 16GB model of the Google Nexus 7 tablet
will be sold at around $249.
The Google Nexus
7 tablet is expected to compete with the Amazon Kindle Fire and the iPad ofApple. It is also the first time that the company has entered the tablet
market, which is currently being dominated by the iPad of Apple. The upcoming
release of the Google Nexus 7 tablet follows the failure of the hardware
partners of the company in significantly reducing the grip of Apple in the
market.
Some
industry watchers have also indicated that the company may use the Google Nexus
7 tablet as its means of attracting support from developers.
The pricing
of the Google Nexus 7 tablet appears to follow the strategy of Amazon when it
offered the Amazon Kindle Fire into the market. Although the Google device is
similar to the current device offering of Amazon, the former has a number of
features that gives it an advantage over the popular Amazon Kindle Fire.
The Google
Nexus 7 tablet features the quad-core Tegra 3 processor from Nvidia, an
enhanced screen display as well as a camera. However reports have hinted at the
possibility that the upcoming Amazon Kindle Fire 2 will be an upgraded version
of the current model of the e-reader. On the other hand, reports have emerged
hinting at a possible smaller version of the iPad that may be released in time
for the holiday shopping season.
