The tablet was earlier reported to reach in October, but the launch was allegedly postponed and this is the first official confirmation of Nexus 7 launch in India.
Google Nexus 7 is being manufactured by Asus and the Taiwanese company is also looking after tablet's marketing in select countries and it seems India is part of that group.
Nexus 7 was originally launched at Google I/O this year and is powered by NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad-core processor. It features 8/16GB of internal storage, 1GB RAM, 1.2MP front camera, and Wi-Fi connectivity.
3G?
The Nexus 7 version currently available does not features 3G connectivity, but a recent rumour has suggested that Asus has already started the production of 3G Nexus 7.
Considering that India is not such great market for launching a Wi-Fi only product because of the lack of public Wi-Fi hotspots, Asus might bring the rumoured 3G version to India. There is no confirmation on the 3G connectivity as of now, but it seems very likely.
Nexus 7 in other countries
Google and Asus have been slowly releasing Nexus 7 in countries other than initial batch. They recently launched the device in France, Germany and Spain and pre-orders have also begun in Taiwan. There are reports of a future Chinese launch as well.
