Don't call it a slow summer for Google. After releasing major updates to Google Maps and ramping up Google Glass
distribution, the company will hold an event today to announce some new features coming
to its Android and Chrome operating systems. It is also expected to release a new Nexus
7 tablet
with the new version of Android 4.3. The tablet hasn't exactly been the best-kept
secret. Just last week purported details leaked about the tablet and then early this morning
Best Buy put up images of the tablet as well as a pre-order page. According to Best Buy's
listing, the tablet has a new-higher resolution 7-inch 1920 x 1200 display resolution, 2GB
of RAM, a 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro processor and front and rear cameras. The
16GB Nexus 7 will cost $229.99, up from the $199 starting price of the last version, the
site indicates. Okay, so some of the cat is out of the bag,
but knowing Google there's more to come today. ABC News will have the latest from Google's
head of Android and Chrome Sundar Pichai at 8:00 a.m PT / 11:00 a.m ET. The updates and
streaming video of the event will appear below.
