Google’s Nexus 7 to Be WiFi Only, Hits Shelves in July

During Google I/O, the developer event held in San Francisco between June 27-29, Google and ASUS are expected to unveil the first tablet PC in the popular Nexus line of devices.

The slate is said to sport a 7-inch touchscreen display, while featuring a price tag of under $200 initially. Moreover, recent reports suggest that it would arrive on shelves only with WiFi connectivity capabilities packed inside, and without a back camera.

A recent article on DigiTimes claims that Google will pack it only with a front camera for making video calls. Reportedly manufactured by Quanta Computer, the device is said to have already started shipping, and to be on track to hit shelves in July. A number of over three million units is expected to be delivered before the end of the year.
