While this is not quite the same as an official company press release, an ASUS representative allegedly told Android Authority during Computex that the long rumoured Google tablet will launch at the end of the month. It just so happens that Google I/O is scheduled for June 27th to the 29th.
While the representative shared little else except to promise that “it will be awesome,” past rumours have suggested that the Google ASUS Nexus 7 will be powered by a 1.3GHz quad-core Tegra 3 processor and Android 4.1 (which may be none other than Jelly Bean). It will also come with a 7-inch HD (1280×768) display. Pricing is expected to fall in or around the US$200 mark.
The same representative added that the ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity (TF700T) will also launch at the end of the month. Both a Wi-Fi-only and an LTE model will be available with the latter to be offered by AT&T in the U.S. Pricing around the US$499 mark was mentioned but it’s not clear to which model this applies.
Lastly, the ASUS PadFone could make its North American debut with AT&T. ASUS has apparently been met with a lukewarm carrier response, possibly because this device does not require tethering for which carriers often charge extra.
