Google working on Nexus Tablet?

Written by Andre Yoskowitz @ 20 Dec 2011 12:54

Google working on Nexus Tablet? Google chairman Eric Schmidt has suggested this week that the company is working on a Nexus Tablet that will be released in the near future.
During an interview with an Italian paper, Schmidt says that "in the next six months we plan to market a tablet of the highest quality." It is unclear, however, whether the quote means Google is putting out a Nexus tablet or whether they will just be putting their marketing muscle behind an upcoming Ice Cream Sandwich device.

A few of Google's most popular partners are HTC, Samsung and Motorola.

Earlier this year, Google worked together with Motorola to release Android 3.0 with the Xoom tablet, which was not a pure Google experience, but close. For smartphones, Google has released the HTC Nexus One, the Samsung Nexus S and the newly launched Samsung Galaxy Nexus, each of which provides the "vanilla" Google experience and the quickest updates whenever a new firmware is launched.
