Google Nexus tablet details leak online

From CNET News.com: Google's Nexus tablet will offer Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, a 1280 x 800 IPS display, and other beefy specs, at least according to one source.

Google is expected to announce its Nexus tablet at its I/O conference later this week. But until then, the folks at Gizmodo Australia got their hands on a training document reportedly revealing key details about the device.

The 7-inch tablet will be the first to run the latest flavor of Android 4.1, aka Jelly Bean, according to the report. Manufactured by Asus, the tablet will be outfitted with a 1.3Ghz quad-core Tegra 3 processor, a GeForce 12-core graphics processor, and 1GB of RAM. The IPS (in-plane switching) display will offer a 178-degree viewing angle with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels.

Google will provide a 1.2 megapixel camera on the front but apparently no camera on the back, probably as a cost-cutting move. The tablet will also run for 9 hours on a single battery charge.

The usual Wi-Fi a/b/g/n is part of the package, but Google is uping the ante by including NFC support as well as Google Wallet (at least in the U.S.). Tapping into NFC will be Android Beam, a program that lets uers share contacts, directions, Web pages, apps, and other content with other NFC-equipped Android devices.

The price tag? An 8GB model will cost $199, while the 16GB version will ring in at $249, according to Gizmodo Australia.
