Google Nexus 7 now available in France, Germany and Spain

Google has expanded the availability of their Nexus 7 tablets to three additional markets. Users in France, Germany and Spain will now be able to purchase the Nexus 7 from the Google Play Store.

The 8GB model is priced at €199 ($249) and the 16GB model is priced at €249 ($312), which, as you can see, is a bit higher than what it costs in the US. ~~Also, it doesn’t seem like you will get any extra credit, such as the $25 you get in the US.~~ (Turns out you do get €20 as store credit in Europe). Lastly, the Play Store in these other countries also doesn’t have some of the contents such as magazines that you will find in its American counterpart.

Despite that, these are still good prices and many people will be glad that they now have the option of purchasing the tablet officially, extra credit be damned. Hopefully, Google will expand to other markets shortly.

Google Nexus 7 goes on pre-order in France, to visit Germany in September too

Asus-made Google Nexus 7 tablet isn’t doing too good a job at sneaking quietly around Europe after its official UK launch. First, Asus themselves broke its cover by posting on their Asus Italy Facebook page that the 16GB version will launch in early September at €250. Now, the Jelly Bean tablet has been spotted in France and Germany too.

French site Fnac is already taking pre-orders for the Nexus 7 and it seems that Asus is setting up a corner in a Berlin store. Oddly, all sightings so far have been of the 16GB version.

Fnac seems to have jumped the gun on the Nexus 7 pre-orders but Darty and Boulanger will also be offering the tablet. The latter two have yet to put it up on their sites, but Fnac isn’t shy about dispensing info – they expect the 16GB version to be in stock starting September 3, with a price tag of €250.

An intern from the German tech site Android Next stumbled onto something interesting too – he was in a store in Berlin after closing yesterday where he saw an Asus table being set up. The store employees let it slip that it’s for the Nexus 7.

Today, after some more poking around the site reports that a 16GB Nexus 7 will launch on September 3, for the same €250 price. They couldn’t confirm if the tablet will come with Play Store credit or not (in the US you get $25 credit).

Of course, all this info is unofficial (even the Asus Italy Facebook post should be taken with a grain of salt). But you can be almost certain that the pricing info will turn out correct in the end.

Thanks to Frank Ritter for the tip!

New Dropbox beta improves handling of video files, adds optimizations for Nexus 7

The folks over at Dropbox have always been keen on getting the community in on their beta builds, and this latest version is no exception.

Highlights include improved video playback, as well as the ability to open Dropbox files directly from other applications.

The Dropbox beta also brings the usual batch of bug fixes and thumbnails for video files.

Next on the list of new features are UI improvements for the Nexus 7 tablet. We found Dropbox to be immensely useful and streamlined on the Nexus 7 even before the beta came out, so it’s good to see the company strive to make the experience even better.

If you’d like to find out more about the Dropbox cloud service, check out their site here. To find the latest beta version follow this link.

Google Nexus 7 review: Catching Fire

Introduction

Google's Nexus line has welcomed its first tablet, the Nexus 7. With a promise of solid specs for a low price, the ASUS-made tablet is poised to storm the Android tablet market and maybe even steal a chunk of Apple iPad's market share.

Google Nexus 7 tablet by ASUS

The Nexus 7 is powered by one of the two chipsets at the heart of current flagship phones and tablets - NVIDIA's Tegra 3. You get a quad-core CPU and good graphics muscle at a time when the only quad-core tablets around are pricy 10" models.

The 7" screen might be a compromise to some, but others will see an advantage in the excellent portability. 7" tablets fit in a coat pocket or purse. Plus, WXGA resolution and 216ppi pixel density sound more than reasonable. For comparison's sake, an Amazon Kindle Fire offers 170ppi, and even the new iPad isn't too far ahead with its 264ppi.

Some corners had to be cut to get a quality product at Google's intended price point. Here's the summary of what ASUS and Google offer for $200/$250.

Key features

7" 16M-color IPS TFT capacitive touchscreen of WXGA resolution (1280 x 800 pixels), scratch-resistant Corning glass

NVIDIA Tegra 3 chipset: quad-core 1.3GHz ARM Cortex-A9 processor; 1GB of RAM; ULP GeForce GPU

Android 4.1 Jelly Bean

8/16 GB of built-in memory

1.2 MP front-facing camera

Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi Direct, Wi-Fi hotspot

Bluetooth; Android Beam

Standard 3.5 mm audio jack

GPS with A-GPS support; digital compass

Accelerometer and proximity sensor, gyroscope sensor

4325 mAh Li-Po battery

Incredibly attractive pricing

Main disadvantages

The screen is a bit washed out and has poor sunlight legibility

Non-expandable memory

No USB mass storage or TV-out

No mobile data-enabled version

Front-facing camera only

Disappointing audio output

The Nexus 7 sure has its downsides, but it makes a killer tablet for web browsing, email or gaming. With the Samsung Galaxy Nexus price set at $350 (one of the cheapest dual-core droids, especially considering the screen size and resolution), it looks like Google's Nexus line has transformed from developer-oriented devices to some of the best Android buys.

But there's more to it than just bang for the buck - a Nexus gadget is a ticket to fast updates to the latest Android OS, an untouched Android at that (some don't really like vendor skins) and a great developer community pushing the gadgets beyond what Google had in mind for them.

Nexus 7 tablet at ours

So, is smart money on the Nexus 7 tablet or were there too many corners cut to make the price? Is the Kindle Fire shaking in its boots?

The specs look promising despite a few stinging omissions, but it's now for our tests to answer those questions. The trials start on the next page.

Samsung Galaxy Nexus 4G LTE gets AOSP Jelly Bean ROM

If you're tired of waiting for Verizon to get their act together and release the latest Android build for their Galaxy Nexus, you can now pick up an AOSP build from xda-developers.

Build JRO03L hit the AOSP servers yesterday, and there is no official changelog yet. The ROM can also be applied to the Google's new Nexus 7 tablet although we expect Google themselves will be releasing an update for this one sooner rather than later.

As always, take caution when rooting your device if you decide to install custom ROMS.

Google Nexus 7 gets benchmarked, results are unsurprisingly good

There has hardly been any doubt that the freshly announced Google Nexus 7 would be a solid performer on the benchmark arena. After all, NVIDIA’s Tegra 3 chipset with four CPU cores is a well known powerhouse by now. However, we couldn’t help but be curious about the way Google’s slate would stack up against the well-established, higher priced players on the tablet market.

As you probably know by now, the Google Nexus 7 CPU cores are clocked at 1.3GHz each – that’s a tad less than the typical 1.5GHz, which we’ve seen on other Tegra 3 devices. In order to make up for the lost MHz, the slate runs the brand new Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, served the way Google does it best – in the purest possible fashion.

With a number of optimizations implemented in the latest Google OS, coupled with the powerful hardware of the Nexus 7, it is no surprise that the expectations towards the slate’s benchmark performance ran quite high. Here go the results.

Sunspider • Browsermark

The scores of the Nexus 7 in Sunspider JavaScript Benchmark and Rightware Browsermark are downright impressive. The slate recorded the best result in Sunspider and came second behind the ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity in the Browsermark. Keep in mind that these two benchmark scores are solidly influenced by the new OS, which the tablet boots.

GLBenchmark 2.1

GLBenchmark 2.1 has been run in several modes on the Nexus 7, showcasing the hardware capabilities of the tablet. Except for the offscreen 720p mode, which is dominated by the Apple iPad, the ASUS made Google Slate performed on par with the most powerful tablets available at the moment.

Android 4.0.4 OTA update for Nexus S 4G leaks

Google released the Android 4.0 update for the Nexus S last year in December but the Nexus S 4G for Sprint was inexplicably left out. A couple of months ago an Android 4.0.4 ROM leaked for the device, which made people hope that the official OTA update would arrive soon but that did not happen.

Today, we have another leaked ROM for the Nexus S 4G. This one will update your phone to Android 4.0.4, bringing all the features that other Nexus S users have been enjoying for months, along with some improvements to the WiMAX reception, due to the updated baseband.

Google recently started rolling out the Android 4.0.4 update to the GSM versions of the Galaxy Nexus and the Nexus S but few users have actually received the update so far, with most choosing to simply flash it manually. Knowing Google's history of ignoring the Nexus S 4G when it comes to updates, you might want to jump the gun and flash it manually.
