The Nexus 7 is an Android tablet computer co-developed by Google and Asus, the first tablet entry in the Nexus series.

Software
The Nexus 7 shipped with the latest version of Android 4.1, codenamed Jelly Bean. Additionally, it shipped with Chrome as its web browser. The Nexus 7 does not completely use the widescreen-optimized interface used by other Android tablets; instead using a new interface mode in Android 4.1 optimized for 7-inch tablets, which uses an interface layout closer to that of Android phones (with a vertically oriented launcher and notifications accessed from the top of the screen), but still allows apps to use the same widescreen-optimized layouts used by larger tablets.

Hardware
The Nexus 7 is based on the Asus MeMO ME370T.
The Tablet Features:


7-inch LED backlit 1280x800@60Hz 18-bit pixel IPS display (Hydis HV070WX2) fused to Corning scratch-resistant glass
1.2 GHz Quad-core (plus one "companion" core) Nvidia Tegra 3 processor with a 12-core graphics chip (T30L - 4 x Cortex A9 SoC)
1 GB DDR3 RAM (Hynix HTC2G83CFR)
NFC (NXP 65N04)
Wi-Fi b/g/n with Bluetooth 4.0 (Broadcom BCM4330 paired with AzureWave AW-NH665)
Gyroscope and accelerometer (Invensense MPU-6050), magnetometer
GPS (Broadcom BCM4751)
Front-facing 1.2 MP camera (Aptina MI 1040)
Rechargeable 4325 mAh, 16 Wh Li-ion non-removable battery
As with all Google Nexus program devices, Nexus 7 also features a pogo pin interface available for future accessories.

Google Nexus 7 was launched in India quite a time back but this thread didn't come up. No Nexus 7 users on digit?

Bought Nexus 7 last month and Nexus 4 this month. Took this tablet to a holiday abroad and it proved to be really helpful. Who'll carry a bulky laptop when there's a beautiful gadget like Nexus 7 for everyday use which is more portable.
