Google Nexus tablet might be incoming

INTERNET SEARCH GIANT Google might have revealed plans to launch a Nexus tablet within the next six months.

Google's chairman Eric Schmidt spoke of the firm's plans to launch a high-end tablet to Italian web site Corriere Della Sera. The Nexus brand isn't specifically mentioned but we imagine Google would use the same name as its smartphones.

Schmidt said, "In the next six months we plan to market a tablet of the highest quality."

The Nexus smartphones have been consistently popular and successful so it's possible that the firm wants to extend that success into the tablet market. The tablet would have to pack some serious specifications to rival the Ipad 2 and Ipad 3, whatever that turns out to be.

Schmidt also spoke about continuing competition with rival vendors like Apple and said, "And in mobile communications, the smartphone market, you will see brutal competition between Apple and Google Android. It is capitalism."

We would certainly be interested in checking out a high-end Nexus tablet from Google, so we hope that what Schmidt said comes to fruition. µ
