Review: Google Nexus 7 Jelly Bean tablet

Text and photos by Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

Google's Nexus 7 is a potentially game changing Android tablet that has the rare opportunity of establishing Google's mobile OS as the preferred choice in the 7-inch space.

Manufactured by ASUS, which saw some success in its 10-inch Transformer line, the Nexus 7 features a fast quad-core Tegra 3 processor, stunning graphics architecture, a great 7-inch screen and most importantly a relatively affordable price tag of $200 for the 8GB version and $259.00 for the 16GB version.

A number of Canadian early adopters who pre-ordered Google's Galaxy Nexus on June 27 are upset that their tablets haven't yet shipped while some retail stores like Staples have already sold out of their initial stock. Some buyers, like myself,  are thinking of cancelling their onlinepre- orders and instead hope to find one of these 7-inch Android Jelly Bean tablets in the wild. This would  save them some money as Google Play demands a $20.00, 2-day shipping and handling charge.

The 16GB variant of the Google Nexus 7 is apparently available online and in stores from Staples.ca with free one day delivery.
