Google's and Apple's 7 inch tablet
The big rivalry is taken to a new Battle Field as Google and Apple will try to dominate the 7 inch tablet category. The current Big Dog on that zone is the Amazon Kindle Fire that has become so popular with it's small and portable screen for reading and gaming on it plus a affordable price $199 with a month of Prime Membership. What really caught my eye was the was the Cloud Storage that allows you to store all you items and used them on multiple devices. On the down side, only 8GB of memory without the ability to add additional external memory.
With the success that Amazon's Kindle Fire has on sale other companies are turning their attention to this market like Google that now wants a devices of its own. Partnering with Asustek and adding Google's newest version Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich on a Nvidia Tegra 3 Quad-Core Processor sounds like they can really compete with Amazon but the big question would be if they can price this device at $199 to really get the customers attention.
In the other corner Apple also wants to dominate this arena, as their successful 10 inch iPad has all other companies on the rear mirror by a mile. Apple really don't need to lower the price to $199, with high resolution Retina display and the always easy to use IOS system I don't see how this tablet won't dominate this category by the end of the year.
