The conjecturatti have been at it again this time looking tablet photos and calling it names, namely the Samsung Galaxy Nexus tablet without any proof at all. Then the rest of the bogusazzi republished the Google Nexus tablet story without asking any questions, except for one.
Over the weekend, it was reported that Google was not working on just one tablet but multiple tablets from Motorola, Asus and NVIDIA. These report seem logical and credible. However, the latest so-called Galaxy tablet photo interpretation is more bogus than our April 1, shattering news.
It all started with a glamorous shot of a unidenitifed tablet which just had to be the Google Samsung Galaxy Nexus tablet because it only Google icons on the homescreen and called a "naked Google experience." It also showed Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich navigation buttons, which looked like Samsung Galaxy Nexus rainbow wall paper.
However, the original publishers noted that the tablet was a 10" tablet and the market icon was not Google Play. Meanwhile, the conjecturatti need news about the Google Nexus tablet.
Another blogger pointed out the tablet shows a MicroUSB port, standard USB port, SIM card slot and what looks like a full-sized SD card slot which is most likely a Toshiba 7.7 inch Thrive tablet that was shown at CES. We ran the image through our color analyzer and red homescreen is the same iconic red used by Toshiba to promote the Toshiba Thrive. The Toshiba Thrive is noted for full size ports.
If Google wants to compete in the cheap tablet market it would not be including all those ports because they are more expensive to manufacture. Google usually stays clear of the color red in its logos and homescreens. If storage can be expanded it also gives the tablet a longer user life for adding more videos, music and media.
The one rumor that seems to make sense is that Google Nexus tablets tablets will go into production this month and be introduced at the sold-out Google I/O conference on June 27.
Because Google pulls so much power, we may see many different Ice Cream Sandwich tablets in many flavors. We don't know yet if the tablets will be as cheap as the deal-of-all-time 9.7 inch HP TouchPad that is now selling for $219.99 at PCConnectionExpress but we can hope that the tablets will at least compete with the Kindle Fire.
