Google has taken the reins and worked with Asus to develop the Nexus 7 tablet.  I wanted to love Android tablets when they first came out but…they were just too laggy!  Supposedly the Nexus 7 does not have that problem.  Though the specs don’t really seem that impressive it’s how the OS has been written that should eliminate lag.  I’m anxious to try this, but it’s going to be tough to beat the iPad, who has completely dominated the tablet market.  But the Kindle Fire should be shaking in it’s boots right about now.
