Google picked Asus for Nexus 7 because no Other Partner can Move that Fast

Oh no he didn't! Andy Rubin said about Asus: “I don’t think there would have been any other partner that could move that fast.” Is this a big diss to Google's Motorola Mobility?

"On May 7, we had a meeting with residents on the issue. It has been decided that the matter will be broached with urban development secretary Arun Kumar Singh. Argora pond has religious significance. There was a time when devotees used its ghat s during Chhath and Manda Puja, which, however, is not possible now. Besides, the pond also helps maintain the water table. We have to act now to save it"

Google picked Asus for Nexus 7 because no Other Partner can Move that Fast

Google unveiled the $199 Google Nexus 7 tablet at the Google I/O 2012 yesterday. The 7-inch tablet is a powerful tablet running on the new Quad-core Tegra 3. Yesterday I asked the question why is Asus making the Nexus 7 and not Motorola. According to an interview on AllThingsD with Asus's Jonney Shih and Google's Andy Rubin, Asus only had four months to build the Nexus 7. To make it more interesting, Google wanted the $199 price-point.

Apparently Google thought that Motorola was not up to the task. Andy Rubin praised Asus in the interview. So Motorola can only build higher priced tablets, but not compete on the cut-throat low-end? Low-end is actually the wrong term here. The Nexus 7 is not low-end. It is cheap, but up to date. Amazon has a problem right now with the Kindle Fire. It looks outdated compared to the Nexus 7. 

Amazon is supposed to release a new Kindle Fire 2 in July. The game is on.
