Announced at Google's 2012 I/O conference, the Nexus 7 is the first tablet to be part of the Google-produced Nexus line of Android devices and is built by Asus. It was designed to compete against other budget tablets like the Kindle Fire and Nook Tablet but differentiates itself with an unmodified version of Android 4.1. |

This model with halved RAM and onboard storage was introduced 3 months after the initial Nook Tablet model to comete directly with the Amazon Fire selling at the same price. |
