Los Angeles (USA), June 27 (EFE). - The California-based Google has introduced its first tablet, Nexus 7, as well as a device to play content in the home, Nexus Q, and the new version of Android Jelly Bean, at the start of its annual conference for software developers in San Francisco.
As expected, Google unveiled a tablet with touch screen 7-inch high definition that designed and manufactured in collaboration with the Taiwanese company ASUSTek Computer designed to compete head to head with Amazon Kindle Fire.
Nexus 7 can be ordered today through Google Play online store for $ 199 (159.5 euros), similar to the successful Kindle Fire, although initially only available in North America, Australia and the United Kingdom when it reaches the market in mid-July.
The tablet features a powerful Nvidia Tegra processor 3, front camera, 9 hours of battery life in video playback and 300 hours standby time and weighs 340 grams.
Nexus 7 has been created to make the most of the entertainment ecosystem of Android, Google Play, in order to optimize the viewing of movies, YouTube, reading books and magazines as well as the use of Google Maps and web browsing Chrome.
The device will come equipped as standard with the new version of Android operating system, dubbed Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, whose features were released today.
More unexpected was Nexus Q, a device that Google hid under a cloth for the event with the intention to surprise the 6,000 attendees and a million spectators who followed the event via the Internet, according to the company.
Shaped like a cannonball, Nexus Q falls into the category of multimedia breeding boxes and seems to compete directly with Google TV, Apple TV, Roku and Boxee Box, even if its contents are limited to those that are accessible through Google Play.
Like Nexus 7, Nexus Q can be purchased today on the Google site Play at a price of $ 299 (240 euros), although in their case only be distributed in the U.S. from July.
Nexus Q is an Android device that operates Internet and serves as a gateway to multimedia content that users have hosted in the cloud with Google Play.
It drives through a phone or Android tablet, which acts as a remote control which Nexus orders Q from the cloud to play videos or music on the speakers or screens that are connected.
Nexus Q is not limited to a device or an account and allows multiple users to make playlists with purchased content in their libraries.
The device is designed entirely by the Google Android team.
