I'm sure that will not happen, Asus would kill their own business if they do so.

Forget about the micro sd, 99 dollar can actually kill the tablet all over the world

Where is there anything hinting at it being a Nexus tablet?

There is nothing that directly insinuates Nexus, but ASUS only has two 7" tablets in its lineup, and the MeMo hasn't been seen in a while, so the likelihood is that it's a Nexus.

But the SD card slot and "outdated" software suggest it isn't a Nexus.

Which is why I said that we're extremely skeptical about this report.

Sounds like a China special that won't hit US at all or a China white box

Weren't there reports that Asus was making its own cheap 7 inch tablet? Couldnt this be that. Would explain the sd card slot

make sense..since there's no 8GB version now..so probably the past 8GB will be $99!

Or... it's definitely not a Nexus device given the information that says it doesn't have 4.2 listed but does have an SD card lot listing. Google's trying to get away from SD card slots to spur use of Google Drive. I can't see Google taking a step back for the current Nexus 7 screen resolution of 1280 x 800 (is that correct?).
More than likely to me this would be just an Asus branded tablet with vanilla Android... possibly an updated MeMo, as Michael mentioned in the commentary of not hearing about it in a while. I would think that it would make it more plausible to be a MeMo(-esque) tab than being a Nexus branded tab.

a single core 1 GHz processor will not be enough, except if they are using A-15. IMO, at least TI OMAP 4430 or nova thor dual core

Singel core is enough, if not using tablet for playing games and phones were using singel core before dual/quad released. Dont see why it isnt enough now, when it was enough before?
Surfing, video, photos and apps using dont need dual/quad for it.

I don't think SONY will make a 99$ tablet their not that cheap in a way though. Plus their a lot of cheap tablets that doesn't perform well

If this is really going to be released for 99 dollars, I don't think most people who buy it will use google drive or any other cloud service so having an micro sd slot is not a bad option.
If Asus are making this I just hope they price it properly in my country (Nexus 7 16 GB costs almost 400 US dollars in India).

Ebay/Amazon does seem to be only option for us unless we have any friends/relatives at places where it is available through play store.

I think they should bring back the 8GB of the Nexus 7 for $149.99 :)
