$99 Nexus tablet leak

Now, there is a photo over at Picasa showcasing the camera picture taken from the rumored ME172V 7-inch tablet. The ME172V is made by Asus and is expected to be priced at $99. The magic price for Android tablet.

It looks like the first photos taken with this $99 Asus device (model number ME172V) have hit Picasa already, and while EXIF data could be faked, we will point out the fact that we’ve seen plenty of unofficial device confirmations coming from Google’s image-sharing service so far this year. 

The posted images have a resolution of 1280 x 720 and come from an “Asus Asus” Picasa account. Is it all a coincidence that we’re seeing them hit the web in late December or is Asus preparing its CES 2013 attack?

Dreaming of $99 Google Nexus

Dreaming of getting good quality, reference tablet, Google Nexus for $99 ? Well, soon it will come to reality. Google is reported to be working with Quanta Computer to create a single processor tablet to launch by the end of the year. Google Nexus is by far a bestseller. This is likely Google answer to Apple iPad Mini, set to launch by the end of October.

Google might soon launch a cheaper Nexus tablet. 

The company is currently working with Taiwan-based Quanta Computer to produce a $99 Nexus tablet boasting a single-core processor that will launch by the end of this year, Digitimes is reporting today, citing sources. According to the tech-news blog's sources, the tablet isn't being developed in partnership with Asus, the company that helped Google build its Nexus 7. The cheaper tablet is, at least right now, separate from the Nexus 7 lineup. 

Digitimes reported on the possibility of a new Nexus tablet last month, saying that Google was prepping a version that would cost $99, as well as another that would retail for $199. At that time, the blog indicated that the device would be called the Nexus 7 and would be developed in partnership with Asus. Its sources seem to indicate now that neither of those are claims are true.
