It was expected to happen. There she is everyone… Hidden within Google Play is an image of the “Nexus 7″ tablet. It’s similar to the leaked image from earlier this week, but since it’s on Google you can be sure that an official announcement is on its way. Taking a look at the back of the tablet reveals that ASUS is indeed the manufacturer, plus that it’ll be a 7-inch tablet with OS 4.1. In addition, it looks like there’s 6 apps on the doc that include access to the Play Store, Chrome, YouTube…

Google Nexus tablet reportedly shows its pre-rendered face, packing Android 4.1 and a $199 price
There's been a longstanding rumor that Google liked ASUS' Eee Pad MeMO ME370T well enough to bestow it with an official Nexus badge and take it underground until it was ready to show its Jelly Bean face. If we're to believe a render and a raft of claimed training documents nabbed by Gizmodo, that face is getting its debut in about two days' time. As it's described, it could largely be what we'd expect from the ME370T being revived as an Android 4.1 reference device: a 7-inch, quad-core Tegra …

ASUS' high-end Transformer Pad TF700 is coming to the US next month for $499 and up
The last time we heard from ASUS, the company was on a tear at Computex, unveiling Windows 8 device after Windows 8 device. Looking back, it seems quaint that its mobile lineup was so recently dominated by Android tablets — and that the Transformer series was once regarded as unique for having detachable keyboard docks. But this week, at least, it's back to Android for ASUS: the company just announced that the Transformer Pad Infinity announced back at Mobile World Congress is finally going …
