drag2share: Crazy Rumor: Google Is Working On A 7-Inch Tablet Priced To Beat The Kindle Fire (GOOG)

A few weeks ago, Google chairman Eric Schmidt let it slip that the company had plans to market "a tablet of the highest quality" within the next six months.

That led to a lot of speculation, but Google refused to clarify Schmidt's statements.

Now DigiTimes is reporting that the so-called Nexus tablet will be a 7-inch device running Android Ice Cream Sandwich. It'll also be priced to compete with Amazon's $199 Kindle Fire.

DigiTimes' sources from Google's supply chain say the tablet could be ready by this April. 

The DigiTimes report feels a bit wishy-washy to us since Google's Taiwan office denied knowing anything about a Google-branded tablet, so we're treating it as a major rumor. Plus, DigiTimes has a very hot and cold record when it comes to reports like this.
