Google Nexus Tablet in Next 6 months

In the next six months Google plan to market a tablet of the highest quality. Google plans to leverage its voice recognition technology to better challenge Apple’s Siri.

Schmidt was at pains to praise Apple co-founder Steve Jobs for his work in transitioning the tablet from vertical and enterprise markets to a consumer-centric product. “Steve Jobs was the Michelangelo of our time” he told the newspaper, “[he] realized the revolutionary potential of the tablet and has created an amazing product like the iPad.” However, “our companies compete” he continued, “it is capitalism.”

Google has had some experience with the tablet development process. Earlier this year, the search giant and Motorola joined efforts to create the Xoom, the first tablet to use Google’s Honeycomb OS. Unfortunately, critics found many drawbacks including a lackluster performance.
Since Google is well on its way in acquiring Motorola, the new tablet may offer a bigger bang for your buck. Google will have more control in the entire development process. Before, it was limited to just creating the operating system the device runs
Google’s exact strategy with the Nexus tablet is still unknown. There are no release dates, specs or manufacturing partners yet, but Schmidt’s proclamation that it will directly compete with the iPad is likely what will make it stand out. Companies like HP, Motorola and RIM rolled out tablet offerings priced similarly to the iPad, but all have failed, bringing new players in the market to take on Apple’s device.
Google’s Nexus tablet may give the company the first high-end tablet that’s formidable enough to be labeled a true iPad competitor, but if it fails, it will join a long list of products before it that couldn’t knock the king off the throne.
