〔本報訊〕下半年看來是平板電腦廝殺的戰場,除了蘋果公司將會推出新一代的iPad平板電腦,軟體鋸子Google也將會於7月推出最新的Nexus 7平板電腦,將搭載奎爾通訊(Qualcomm Inc)的Snapdragon處理器,外觀會變得更輕巧,而螢幕解析度也會更高,且Google的內部消息還指出,新一代的Nexus 7平板電腦價格將下降到149美元(約台幣4470元),相當平易近人。

 2名Google內部消息來源告訴路透社,Google目標售出800萬台新一代的Nexus 7平板電腦,將會打亂原本在低階平板電腦站穩腳步的亞馬遜(Amazon)Kindle Fire和iPad mini。一直以來都是以線上廣告收益經營的Google這次打算經由平價的Nexus 7平板電腦,一舉打盡應體市場,讓更多的Nexus使用者可以看到Google的廣告。

 消息也指出,最新的平板電腦會有比去年上市的版本有更高的螢幕解析度以及更薄的邊框,並且由於電力考量,以奎爾通訊的晶片取代上一代的英偉達Tegra 3晶片,另外,也跟上三星電子與亞馬遜的腳步,新一代的Nexus 7平板電腦螢幕只會有7吋大。

 新一代Nexus 7平板電腦價格也會是平易近人的。消息透露,Google可能將會把訂價設在與上一代相同的199美元(約台幣5970元),並且把上一代的平板電腦打折出售;但也有消息表示,Google將會以149美元,並停止上一代的生產線。

 Google首次有新一代Nexus 7平板電腦的消息流出,不過2名Google內部消息都不願透露身分,且其供應商也都不回應這些消息,又Google的計畫總是很容易改變,所以這些說法的真偽,還有待商榷。
