Larry Page Says Google Will Focus on Low End Tablet Market

Google CEO Larry Page was asked during recent earnings conference about Google's plans for the tablet market. Page admitted that Google had stiff competition, and while he didn't mention the iPad, the Apple tablet was the 800 pound gorilla in the room.
