Nexus 7 Enlarge picture - Nexus 7
Mountain View-based Internet giant Google is reportedly gearing up for the launch of a new generation Nexus 7 tablet PC, one that would sport better hardware when compared to the current model.

According to a recent article on DigiTimes, sources from the upstream supply chain claim that the new slate version will arrive on shelves with the same price tag as the existing generation.

However, it seems that Google and ASUS will boost the device’s resolution to 1080p, which should provide a much better experience to all users.

Some other changes will also be visible, including a thinner display border, along with an enhanced software – hardware integration.

Provided that the rumors pan out, the new Nexus 7 would prove highly appealing at US$199-249, especially when compared to the higher-priced Apple iPad.

The Nexus 7 is super sharp right now -- I have one. Nice little device. Never use it, but it works well when I do. For travel, tablets are cool, but for home, I will stick to desktops.

There is a problem with the GLASS. Look at the reddit subforums, google groups, xda pages....the LCD Digitizer assembly is cracking and breaking for thousands and thousands of people during normal use.
