After much success of the highly anticipated Google Nexus 7 that was released earlier in the year, Google has released the Nexus 10 to round out their product portfolio. The Nexus 10 has been a big hit so far and is currently sold out at the Google Play store. The Nexus 10 has the latest Android 4.2 operating system that is super fast and very responsive. The tablet is integrated with Google Play which is their online store that you can purchase your applications, movies, music, and more. You can relax to know that all the digital products that you buy from Google are safe and stored in the cloud to be retrieved at anytime. Now let us talk about the technical specifications which are some of the best in the industry. The Nexus 10 has 2 cameras which one is located in the front of the device and in the back of the tablet which can take sharp pictures with its 5 mp lens. This tablet is built for watching movies with a 10 inch screen that has 2560 by 1600 resolution. You would feel the power of the Nexus 10 with the ability to do some serious multi-tasking with a powerful computer processor, 2 GB of ram, and maximum hard drive space of 32 GB. This tablet is in position to be one of the best of the season and a market leader for years to follow. The Google Nexus 10 is definitely facing some tough competition in the market with Apple, Amazon, and the Nook as noteworthy challenges. We are confident that with Google's reputation and their commitment to the tablet market that they will be able to carve a nice niche for themselves. One of the major advantages is that Amazon and the Nook is built off of Google's Android operating system. They have modified the user interface which is built on top of the Android operating system to be tailored to the type of user experience that they want for their customers. This has led to not as a smooth experience as the original user interfaces that comes with out of the box Android that the Nexus 10 uses. The Nexus 10 provides best interface of the operating system and we expect that the Nexus product line would always get the latest version of this award-winning operating system because it is owned by Google.

Recently, the iPad mini was launched by Apple as a competitor against the tablet market. The Google Nexus 7 is now the most successful tablet on the market because it has proved to be reliable and excellent in performance while still offering the best price. On the other hand, what advantages does the Apple's smaller version of the iPad offer? Can Apple become the leading competitor in the tablet market? Which is better, the iPad mini or the Nexus 7? Apple is able to differentiate its products while increasing its value to Apple consumers; the iPad mini is of no difference.
Apple was able to figure out the consumer's mind and to create a trend toward what the consumer was looking for: small, cheaper, and better. Apple mini tablet became the new fad that consumers wanted because of its compelling advantages in comparison to the Nexus 7.
The iPad mini is thinner, lighter, and wider than Google's tablet (the Nexus 7). In addition, the material used for the iPad mini is aluminum, while the Nexus 7 is made of plastic. Apple mini tablet overall has a better design and a more comfortable feel than the Nexux 7. The internet browser Safari works faster than Google's internet browser, Chrome. The duration of the battery in the Apple's mini tablet outlasts the Nexus 7 battery duration by about ten percent. Moreover, the IPad mini offers a greater amount of additional features such as: Photo Stream, IMessage, and Siri, as well as Google's Gmail, YouTube, etc. The Nexus 7 only offers a limited amount of features provided through Google.
Obviously, the Apple mini tablet provides access to a number of applicatios (apps) in the range of around 275,000. Of the following apps, a few common examples are Facebook, IMovie, and Air Play. These features also happen to be some of the most important elements that the iPad mini offers over its competitors, especially in comparison to the Nexus 7 that offers very few apps. In addition, the iPad mini offers two cameras: Face Time front facing HD camera and the ISight camera. The ISight camera on the back has five megapixel as well as space for recording videos that have vibrations eliminated. The Nexus 7 also has a camera, but the camera on the Nexus 7 is only a front facing 1.2 megapixel camera.
Research has shown that the Apple's smaller version of the iPad surpasses the Nexus 7 except in a few areas. The Nexus 7 has a better text quality and better screen resolution in comparison to the iPad mini. The pixel resolution is important for reading and watching movies by providing better clarity. Those with good eye sight may not realize the difference in resolution, but those with poor eye sight would be at a disadvantage when trying to read or watch movies. In terms of pricing, the Nexus 7 is priced at a more affordable cost of $199, while Apple mini tablet starts out at $329 and ranges all the way up to $529. In today's economy, the Nexus 7 is more advantageous because of its cost while the iPad mini is extremely over priced. Apple charges more but offers a lighter, thinner and wider design, two cameras instead of one, superior selection of tablet apps, and a longer battery life. However, all those advantages might not justify the cost of $130 to $330 more than the Nexus 7.
In general, the iPad mini is better than the Nexus 7; however, as a consumer, you need to think about your needs and your preferences. If your main purpose is reading and watching a movie rather than the web, Nexus 7 would be a better choice for you. On the other hand, if your priorities are apps and higher speed, the Apple's mini tablet should be your first choice. If you cannot afford the iPad mini or do not believe the price justifies its apps advantages and nicer design, the two tablets are very similar and the Nexus 7 will do almost anything you want.

You see a lot of people advertising to sell iPad. It's usually for various reasons, but more commonly it is because they need the cash or because they want to change or switch to another brand. With so many models of tablet PCs coming out every month, you cannot help but want to change devices every so often, especially when you see a new one with better specs, functions, and features. The newly-released Nexus 7 is said to be a contender in the on-going tablet PC wars. Does it merit the attention of tablet PC users hankering for a better, slicker gadget? Nexus 7 belongs to the category of 7-inch tablet PCs. Since the Nexus 7 is small, it is relatively lightweight at 12 ounces. Holding it for long periods of time will not be a problem at all. It is also so small that you don't need a bag to carry it with you, as it will fit perfectly in your coat pocket. The modest $199 price tag for the 8 GB model is sure to attract a lot of customers. You can be sure of its build quality because an NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor running the Android 4.1 operating system powers it. This means that the unit should be snappy when it comes to executing commands, and in turn, means that playing games and using other applications will be enjoyable.
The Nexus 7 will clearly affect the sales of existing Asus products because of the low price tag. It will also be a strong competitor for the other low priced tablet PCs.

The Asus Transformer and Slider tablet PC lines are all known for their sleekness, not to mention their multi-functionality. That is because all Asus tablets have an optional keyboard that can be latched into the tablet, making the device look like a slimmer notebook PC. Since they have keyboards, they can be readily used for word processing, something that can be a bit difficult with other tablets like the iPad that do not have a built-in keyboard and are more reliant on the touch screen keypad option. Unofficial figures have reported that sales for the Nexus 7 have been brisk for its week of sales. If you are thinking of giving Google's gadget a try, you should go to the stores that sell iPad.

If have to make a comprehensive summary to tablet PCs, the only suitable words would be: Not all tablets fit the same size. In this field, Amazon has done very well. At present, Amazon launches its Kindle series, including the 8.9-inch Kindle Fire HD and the 7-inch Kindle Fire HD, claiming that they are the most advanced devices among the same series. This sounds rather exaggerating, especially when many tablet manufacturers sequentially launch their own new products in these recent months. The advent of Google Nexus 7 paired with Android 4.1, undoubtedly, represents the entrance to the market for the 7-inch tablets. So, can Amazon keep pace with Google? Judging from its hardware, Kindle Fire HD is not inferior to Google Nexus 7.
Amazon's hardware design
Referring to external appearance, no word but conventional can be used to describe Kindle Fire HD, for this series, in particular the 7-inch version, has not obvious differences from other tablets of the same rank in the market. If remove manufacturers' logos on products, it is very difficult for users to identify which one belongs to which brand. Yet, the pure black body, the 1 pound weight and 0.5 depths as well as the display at 1280-by-800 resolution make it more satisfactory when compared with other tablets.
It is said that the 8.9-inch Kindle Fire HD has an excellent screen performance, whose resolution is the same as that of the Nexus 7. Amazon said in its press conference that Kindle Fire HD can reduce screen glare due to the polarizing filter built inside the screen. As for whether it can really achieve propagandistic effect, it remains to be confirmed.
Appropriate hardware specs and internal structure
In terms of internal structure, no distinct disparities exist among the Android tablets in the current market. Amazon Kindle Fire HD houses a Texas Instruments OMAP 4470 processor, whose fluent running, as it is said, is supported by the Android operating system of Amazon's own. Yet, Nexus 7's Tegra 3 chipset also works very well. As for Wi-Fi connectivity, both of them have good performance. But, what excites us is that the Kindle Fire HD with built-in dual mode antennas does have subtle difference from other tablets.
The reason for Amazon's success in the tablet market occupied by Apple lies in its ecosystem superior to its competitors. Its consumption platform for digital contents, such as Kindle Store, Amazon MP3 and online video on demand, is regarded to be a strong ecosystem in the wake of Apple App Store. This is a platform that is unavailable in other Android tablet manufacturers, including Google. However, in light of the contents consumption platform of Google Play being established by Google, all Android manufacturers will benefit from such a kind of platform in the future. While many manufacturers are subject to the development of Google, Amazon, however, is of much independence in this aspect.

Not so long ago the IT industry was diversified to such a degree that the average man in the street could easily pigeon hole most IT companies, e.g. Microsoft was an office software corporation, Apple was a consumer electronics corporation and Google was a web services corporation. However in the past few years leading IT companies have homogenised to such a degree that there are few differentiators and one of the main reasons behind it was the Android operating system from Google.
As recently as 2007 the only products that Google produced were internet based, e.g. a search engine, email and an advertising network but the launch of the iPhone from Apple changed all that. Its phenomenal success persuaded Google to develop the Android operating system which was released in 2008 and ultimately used in 2010 in the Nexus One,a smartphone it made in partnership with HTC.
As the Android was based on open source software, it also had to be open source and that led it being adapted by a plethora of electronic manufacturers which further fuelled the growth of smartphone market and has caused a snowball effect. The popularity of the smartphone led to the development of the tablet and has caused a decline in the sale of PC's. Large IT companies dependent on the PC like Microsoft, Dell and HP have reacted to its decline and all three have developed or are developing smartphones and tablets which have led to the current homogenised state in the IT industry.
Where can the industry go from here, is it the end of IT companies losing their distinctive advantage? Thankfully no. Google which started the trend towards homogenisation has moved on. This month aside from releasing a tablet it developed with Asus called the Nexus 7, it has also released an entertainment hub, the Nexus Q, which streams music and video from its Google Play music store and contains a high-quality amplifier that puts it on a par with the best digital music equipment on the market. This is an interesting development and from my perspective could revolutionise the music entertainment system for the digital age.
