Google Officially Released Nexus 4 Smartphone, Nexus 10 Tablet and Android 4.2 Jelly Bean
Posted on October 31st, 2012 No commentsRight at the same time while Microsoft launched its Windows Phone 8 on October 29th, Google quietly released multiple long rumored Nexus devices and the brand new Android 4.2 Jelly Bean OS. The new Nexus devices include LG Nexus 4 smartphone, Nexus 10 tablet and new Nexus 7 with cellular data network connection support. These wonderful devices and the new OS should have been released on the Android release event, but which has been canceled by the unwelcome hurricane Sandy. Quite surprisingly, rumors about the features of the new Nexus devices nearly all strike the points. Let’s see what these devices come with below:
The Nexus 4 has a 4.7-in., 1,280-by-768-pixel resolution display, a quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro processor from Qualcomm, 2 gigabytes of RAM, an 8-megapixel rear camera, a 1.3-megapixel front camera and either 8 or 16 gigabytes of storage. It also has NFC, a micro USB port and micro HDMI output. For bells and whistles, Google is touting built-in wireless charging (though you’ll need to supply your own compatible charging mat) and a Photo Sphere feature that can shoot 360-degree panorama photos.
As for the price, LG Nexus 4 is set to be $299 for the 8-GB version and $349 for the 16-GB version. Also, in the U.S., the unlocked version will work only with AT&T or T-Mobile, but the latter carrier will sell a subsidized Nexus 4 for $200 with a two-year contract. The phone launches on Nov. 13 in Britain, USA, Australia, France, German, Spain and Canada.
Asus Nexus 7
The new Nexus 7 is the same as the old one, with a 7-in., 1,280-by-800 resolution display, a quad-core Nvidia Tegra 3 processor, 1 GB of RAM, a 1.2-megapixel front-facing webcam and a micro USB port. It weighs 0.7 lb., measures 0.4 in. thick and gets about 9.5 hours of battery life on a charge. Google and Asus simply doubled the storage on the Nexus 7, to 16 GB for the $199 version and 32 GB for the $249 version, and added a 3G option for $299 with 32 GB of storage. (It’ll work with AT&T and T-Mobile in the U.S.) The much needed storage boost helps bring the Nexus 7 in line with other cheap tablets.
Samsung Nexus 10
This is Google’s first Nexus tablet to compete directly with Apple‘s iPad, and it offers a Retina-beating 10.1-in., 2,560-by-1,600 resolution display as its claim to fame. Other specs include a dual-core A15 processor, 2 GB of RAM, a 5-megapixel rear camera, a 1.9-megapixel front camera, micro USB, micro HDMI and NFC. The tablet also supports multiple user sign-ins, with separate home screens, apps, e-mail and photos for each. The 16-GB model will sell for $399, while the 32-GB model will cost $499, starting Nov. 13.
All the new Nexus devices would be running on the latest Android 4.2 Jelly Bean OS.

What would Google I/O Conference 2011 bring to the world?
Posted on May 10th, 2011 No commentsJust like the Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference, the annual Google I/O Developer Conference is also getting great concern from people all over the world. And this year, the Moscone Center of San Francisco would be the one of the most shinning places of the year, for this year’s Google I/O Developer Conference is going to be held here today, and the conference is just hours left to get started.
The 2011 Google I/O Developer Conference will gather together more than 5 thousand people from more than 60 countries and regions. It will include more than 110 conferences and 261 keynotes. 152 partners of Google plus two bloggers will take part in the conference. The 2011 Google I/O Developer Conference has become the biggest annual conference of Google so far.
For such a big feast of technology, all people could see the countdown table on Google I/O official home page. And at the same time, the Google I/O home page would become the platform to show the conference videos, conference introduction, software downloading, and even the place to communicate with attendants after conference. The exciting moment is coming, and what Google is going to bring for the world this year?
Most of the technology sites and blogs are abuzz with the ‘expected launches’ of various products and services from Google. Here I have listed some long anticipated products or services that may be launched in this annual conference:
Google Chrome operating system: been anticipated for long. As the rumors on Chrome OS surfaced few days back, we can expect Google’s announcement about the Chrome OS.
Google Music Beta: just like the Amazon Cloud Music service, allows users to store music in cloud and enjoy through browsers.
Android 2.4 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system: it may add some features of Honeycomb to the Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS.
Other products and services anticipated to launch may include: some additions to the 2010 Google I/O Developer Conference released Google TV, Google Buzz, Google Me, Buzz, +1, Offers, etc.
Anyway, these are just our anticipations towards the Google I/O Developer Conference 2011. There are no official comments from Google and we have to wait for the latest news about this annual conference.
