Asus exec states Google's tablet is aimed squarely at the Kindle Fire,
After Bloomberg and the WSJ confirmed today Google is launching its own Nexus tablet, made by Asus, now Reuters chips in from the horse's mouth as well. Anonymous Asus exec has told the news agency: "It's targeting Amazon. The Kindle is based on Google's platform but with its own service, so Google has to launch its own service, too".

Fair enough, and with so much leakage Google will surprise everyone if it doesn't reveal a 7" tablet with 216ppi pixel density and quad-core Tegra 3 for $199 today. 

Actually an observant blogger snapped a photo of the I/O conference building third floor from the outside, and one can clearly see the slogan "Nexus" put up there for the world to see.

I mean it's probably the tablet but I'd be fine if they were announcing Jelly Bean soon for my GNexus. OR BOTH!

So excited. What if they launch a secret budget Nexus phone too?

call it GSM and HSPA+ which is the same speed as LTE in testing (and LTE next year), and you have Tmobile.
