An Asus executive has confirmed to Reuters what everyone was already thinking about Google's first own tablet: it will be targeting Amazon and its affordable Kindle Fire. Launched in November 2011, the Kindle Fire runs a modified version of Android, features a 7 inch display, and costs only $199.99. Google's tablet, likely called Nexus 7, will also have a 7 inch display. It will probably run Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, and could be officially announced later today, at Google's I/O conference. According to Reuters, the tablet will be co-branded with Asus (which is its actual manufacturer).
