Google Nexus 7

Google's new flagship tablet, the Nexus 7, has a 7-inch, 1,280-by-800-pixel screen and a quad-core Nvidia Tegra 3 processor. It costs only $199.

Google beefed up its Play store to compete with Amazon, adding the ability to purchase movies and TV shows, and lots of magazines.

The Nexus 7 runs the latest version of Android, 4.1 "Jelly Bean." The interface is by and large the same as on Android 4.0, but there are new features like this "social queue" of similar music.

The Nexus 7 is a slim tablet. The power and volume buttons are on the right side, which is the top of the tablet in landscape mode.

On the left side is a 4-pin connector and one of two mics.

The Nexus 7 has a textured, rubberized back with a light stippled pattern.
