0 Google to launch Android tablet at I/O 2012

Google is  rumored to announce its first highly anticipated tablet computer during its annual developer conference in California which kicks off tomorrow.

 According to an Australian website which is popular for gadgets have claimed to  seen the specification for an 7-inch tablet which Google is rumored to unveil during the developer conference which is too be kicked off from tomorrow in San Francisco. The main motive of bringing out this tablet is show casing the tablet makers what can be achieved with android OS. It is exactly the same way when Google launched its Nexus series of smartphone. The same website also told us that the tablet will be priced at $200 which can give a tough competition to already successful Amazon’s Kindle Fire tablet.

What other one can expect from this year’s conference is the Google developer revealing more details about the latest Android operating System which is used for running smartphones and tablet computers named as Android Jelly Beans and an extension to the Google Wallet for including mobile payments.

Google has scheduled 2 keynote speeches one each for Wednesday and Thursday. Both these speeches and the developers sessions will be streamed online. Interesting  Google has not confirmed any announcements ahead of the conference.

This year conference is expected to be attended by more than 5,000 developers to get technical tips from Google employees.

Last year’s conference included the announcement of Chromebooks- Google’s own range of laptop running it’s own chrome operating system, Google Music, the streaming service service offered by Google and giving a strong competition to Apple iTunes and Amazon. And the Ice cream Sandwich update to Andriod Operating System.

However one thing is noticed in the previous conference that Google’s product aren’t always successful when Google launches them in these conference. For example Google launched Google Wave at its 2009 conference but was closed early this year. Another example includes launch of Google TV which underwent many redesign to suit for the US people but still isn’t a hit.
