The 1,000 Pound Gorilla

By Chuck Hajdu

One of our contributors recently described MSFT and the iFruit company as the two 800 pound gorillas in the room and Google is the 1,000 pound gorilla. The recent announcements by Google of Android 4.1 and the Google Nexus 7 Tablet should make Google even stronger.

Android 4.1 sounds like a very nice update to 4.0 and should make all Phablet users happy. I know I’m looking forward to using it. Let’s hope all of the Android vendors gat on board very quickly.

The Nexus 7 Tablet could end up being a game changer. It has first class hardware (including 1280X800 resolution), Android 4.1 and an under $200 price tag.  It’s as good as, or better than, an iFruit tablets at a small fraction of the price. Personally, it sounds great to me. I may even end up actually buying one.
