London, Jan 7 (ANI): Google has planned to launch its own-brand tablet, prompting speculations whether the new product would compete with Amazon Kindle Fire or Apple's iPad.
Earlier, Google's chairman Eric Schmidt revealed that the company would be launching its Android tablet in the next six months.
Schmidt said it would be "of the highest quality" with industry experts saying it would challenge Apple's iPad while using its Nexus smartphone strategy that rivalled the iPhone.
But according to Digitimes, the new gadget would include a seven-inch panel, the same size as Amazon's Kindle Fire, and would cost less than 200 dollars to compete with the online retailer.
Digitimes' sources have also predicted the tablet would be unveiled in March or April, The Telegraph reports.
"Sources from Google's upstream supply chain believe that Google, instead of Apple, may actually be targeting Amazon's 7-inch Kindle Fire as its major competitor," the Digitimes report said.
"However, Google Taiwan commented that the company has never heard about the plan of launching an own-brand tablet PC," it said.
"The sources believe that Google will launch the own-brand tablet PC in March-April, featuring a 7-inch panel and Android 4.0 with a price less than US$199 to compete against Amazon," it added. (ANI)
