Customers in France, Germany, and Spain can now buy the Nexus 7 from Google

The Google Nexus 7 has been selling like crazy in the US and other regions where it has been made available, but it isn't yet available everywhere worldwide. Google has been careful with the rollout of the device, especially given the limited supply of the tablet. The predictions expect Google to sell upwards of 8 million units by the end of the year, and more markets will certainly help that come to pass.
The latest markets to get the Nexus 7 direct from Google are France, Germany, and Spain, where customers can now purchase the tablet directly from the Google Play Store. The tablet is available for €199 for the 8GB model and €249 for 16GB, which is the real story. That price point parallels the UK release, and represents just a 25% markup over the US price. That's actually pretty amazing, because more often tablets and smartphones get a 40-50% markup in Europe compared to the US.
If you live in one of the newly added countries, you can get a Nexus 7 in about 3-5 days, but we'll have to see how long the supplies last on this. Still no word on retail availability in Europe though.

... and I thought us Americans got a great deal. It's nice to see that Google/Asus decided to set such a low price point worldwide. They decided not to go the greedy route and it's really paying off. Take note apple.

y u no come to India......
Here i have to pay $1000 for 32 GB iPad. Nexus 7 will be a Steal compared to others. They shouldn't ignore 1/6 world population. And $200 is surely affordable here. 9/10 people that own an iPad here believe it doesn't justify the price tag. No Galaxy Nexus, and now this. Oh come on, u surely can do better.
