Apple’s iPad mini reigns King in the 7-inch form factor market, but may soon lose its crown as Google recently unveiled a refresh of its Nexus 7 tablet that puts Apple’s smaller tablet to shame. Powered by a new version of the Android Jelly Bean operating system, the new Nexus 7 features a 1920×1200 pixel display, which is far greater than the iPad mini… and also higher than any other tablet currently available on the market. The new tablet improves on its predecessor in almost every way: a more powerful device with almost twice as much processing power and four times the graphical performance, all packed into a lighter and thinner case with a smaller bezel. The new Nexus 7 is available for as little as $229 – $100 cheaper than the mini – the Nexus 7 is now available in stores and online. Apple is expected to show off new iPads this fall, but for now, Google’s new Nexus 7 rules the 7-inch roost.
