Google Nexus 7

The book I read to research this post was The Amazing Nexus 7 by Paul Walmsley which is a very good book which I bought from kindle. This book is a little bit longer than some books on the same subject. It also has all the essential tasks you need to do to set your nexus up, nicely grouped at the beginning of the book. The Nexus only works with a wireless network although some come with a sim card as well. Although very cheap compared to other tablets on the market, it can punch above it's weight and has garnered a lot of favourable reviews. Interestingly you can get a different paid app for free every day on sites like Amazon & the Google Android Appstore. Of course the Nexus runs an Android operating system. It also uses by default a version of Chrome as a web browser and Google as a search engine. You can read ebooks, watch movies, play music, play games and run apps on it. It has got good graphic ability highlighted by the games it can play. These tablets are essentially computers with touch screens and have consider computional capabilities. Although the tablet is named after Google it isn't manufactured by them. Finally the Apple IPad leads the way with the most apps that are compatible with that but Android is gradually catching up.
