\"\"<\/a>Google announced yesterday their new, first google-branded 7\u2033 tablet to competed with the Amazon Kindle Fire at $199. It\u2019s a little bit better hardware than the Fire and built by ASUS, but sold as a Google tablet. It\u2019ll emphasize Google\u2019s Play store for media consumption \u2013 reading, movie watching, etc.<\/p>\n
