Now the company is looking to reproduce that magic with the Nexus 7, its first co-branded Android tablet. Developed in partnership with Asus, it's a $199 device that has the Kindle Fire squarely in its sights, but also aspires to achieve greater things than Amazon's media consumption device.

The Nexus 7's most important price is £159, not $199
