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.
