Google launched their affordable tablet the Nexus 7 in June and it immediately caught everyone’s attention because of its attractive price and good hardware. With Tegra 3 chip, an HD IPS display and a price tag of $199, its a must buy but Google might not stop just there. According to DigiTimes, Google and ASUS are working on two new slimmer Nexus 7 tablets with TN panels and they are set to launch it by the end of 2012 but the most amazing part of the report is the price of these tablets. 

One of these will cost $199 and the other will be priced at $99 only; that’s half as the current Nexus 7. There isn’t any mention of the specifications of these new tablets or what corners Google will cut to offer the new slimmer tablet at just $99. Our guess is that it might be the Nexus 7 3G that was rumoured back in September and $99 price will be on contract. Again, this is just a supply chain rumor and you should take it with a grain of salt.
