Nexus 7 continually selling out in Australia Written by Renai LeMay on Monday, August 20, 2012 16:22 Google’s popular Nexus 7 tablet has been selling out repeatedly since it launched in Australia in late July, according to the tablet’s manufacturer ASUS, in what may mark the first commercially successful launch of a tablet computer in Australia apart from Apple’s market-dominating iPad. The Nexus 7 is the first tablet to run the new ‘Jelly Bean’ version of Google’s Android operating system, as well as being one of the first Android tablets to depart from the 10? form factor popularised by Apple’s iPad and go for a smaller, 7? form factor. The device also features a number of other headline specifications — a quad-core NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor, a 1280×800 backlit IPS HD display and a 4325mAh battery, although it does lack mobile broadband access through 3G or 4G networks. The Nexus 7 was available at launch to Australian customers, who could order in the device from overseas, but it also went on sale, according to several reports ( PCWorld Australia, Gizmodo) through a large variety of Australian retailers — Harvey Norman, JB Hi Fi, Dick Smith, Bing Lee, The Good Guys, Retravision, Radio Rentals, Officeworks, EB Games, Costco, BSR and other authorised ASUS resellers. In response to a question from an Australian Twitter user on how many Nexus 7 units had been sold in Australia so far, the Twitter account of ASUS Australia wrote yesterday: “No official figures for [Australia], but we’ve sold out of every shipment that has come in and have done so in around 1 or 2 weeks each.” This response was first reported by AusDroid. delimiter.com.au
