Nokia warns Google : Nexus 7 violates our patents

The Nexus 7 has been a major news of the recent Google I / O and has the credentials to establish itself in the tablet market thanks to the excellent relationship between price and performance. The approach of the Nexus 7 to market, however, may be not without some difficulty. Suggesting that fact is Nokia  that has already denounced  the violation of certain patents owned by Google and Asus in the realization of the tablet .

As is known, the Finnish Company for some time is leveraging its substantial fleet patents,  trying to exploit them commercially licencing them. The Nexus 7 seems to be a fertile ground for Nokia to continue to pursue this strategy.

The patents that Nokia highlights the breach relate WiFi technology integrated into the Nexus 7. ​​According to the Finnish company, nor Google, nor Asus would have required a license to use the technology subject to patents . A Nokia spokesman as saying about it:

Nokia has more than 40 licensees, especially as regards its portfolio of patents relating to the essential standards, including the majority of manufacturers of mobile devices. Neither Google nor Asus have obtained the license of our patent portfolio

The alleged infringement of patents, the Finnish house seems determined not to remedy in the courts, as other competitors have been shown to do, but trying to make arrangements for the licensing of technologies have become matters of contention:

Companies that have not yet been licensed for use of patents on essential standards should simply contact us and sign a license

At the time neither Google, nor have Asus commented the Nokia claims obviously busy trying to make cash.

Here comes the first official confirmation by Asus - The first Nexus Tablet output by the end of June 2012

During Computex 2012 news comes from a official Asus representative who has confirmed that the presentation of cheap nexus tablet with a collaboration with Google will be out by the end of this month. The timing is perfectly integrated with the Google I / O 2012 to be held during the days of 27/28 this month. The expectation is that you can get your hands on the first Nexus Tablet rapidly during the Google I / O 2012 where a device is traditionally given to the participants.

The goal of achieving a high performance tablet, but the cost seems to be just around the corner. As mentioned in previous rumors Kai will use the platform to take advantage of Nvidia   Tegra SoC 3 to 1.3 GHz clock and DDR2 ram cheap for a device that seems certain to mount a 7-inch panel. This will allow you to enter the market as a device that repeatedly anticipated not to exceed $ 200, competing in the price range of Amazon's Kindle, but features much better performance.

A major move that could change the balance in this segment where until now Android Tablets not had much luck, thanks primarily to the quality / price average and has never fully convinced users to jump to android tablet boat.

Rumor - Nexus Tablet with Google Android Jelly Bean and quad core processor coming soon!!!

Through a source considered reliable by TechnoBuffalo, new details emerge about the next tablet that Google should put forward a few weeks at the Google I/O 2012. Although the name remains a mystery, the source confirmed that Asus will to achieve it and that will be used as a tribute to its hardware next Google I/O scheduled from June 27, in time for the first deliveries scheduled from early of July.

Another pleasant surprise is also about the next Android distribution, Jelly Bean for now.The source says that not only will be announced at the end of next month but right on the edge of the first commercialized tablet signed by Google and Asus, and then several months in anticipation of the usual expectations that separate a new Android distribution of the official announcement (late fall or early winter months for the issue).

But the rumors do not end here because you go even on the hardware department of the alleged Nexus Tab which would see the adoption of the famous quad-core chip at a price within the $199 , confirming the previous rumors of a platform by aggressively priced but very performance and ready to invade the market with 600,000 pieces for the month of June .

The first Google tablet is expected to hit the market in July

The first raid of Google on the tablet market will be made in July. The team at Mountain View is currently engaged in bringing the price below the threshold of $ 249, as already collaborating with AsusTek Computer in the implementation of the 7-inch model with Nvidia Tegra 3, only Wi-Fi connectivity and Android Ice Cream Sandwich.

According to latest estimates, the price had already been wandering between $ 199 and $ 149 in order to diminish competition from Amazon with the Kindle Fire the Nook Color and an alleged iPad Mini always display about 7 inches which is rumored could be presented at the next Apple  conference in June (probably just rumor).

Other sources have reported instead the reasons for the delay in the commercialization of the first tablet of Google, the adoption of the next version of Android, the Jelly Bean of which we still know little or nothing and we'll see that maybe, just next to the Google I / O. It would, however unlikely such a solution since the project was entirely developed on Android 4.0 and to adapt and optimize the hardware to a new Android version (Jelly Bean)would take more time.
