Google Play Store now taking orders for the new Nexus 7

Earlier today, we told you how some retailers had jumped the gun and were selling and shipping the new Google Nexus 7 now even though the tablet isn't supposed to launch until later this month. Even Google has thrown itself into the fray by sending out a tweet announcing that orders are now being accepted for the next Google Nexus 7. The tablet will ship by July 30th.

The 16GB model of the new Google Nexus 7 is priced at $229 while the 32GB model is priced at $269. The tablets come with a 7 inch display with resolution of 1920 x 1200. A quad-core 1.5GHz  Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro CPU is under the hood while graphics are handled by the Adreno 320 GPU. A 5MP snapper is on board and the tablet has support for NFC and wireless charging. Android 4.3 is installed.

If you can find one of those retailers that have started selling the Google Nexus 7 nearby, congratulations. If you can't find a Walmart or a Best Buy with the tablet already out on the shelves, you can always click on the sourcelink and order directly from the Google Play Store.
