Eric Schmidt: 'Google tablet coming within six months'

Eric Schmidt: 'Google tablet coming within six months' | Technology and Gadgets | Scoop.it

Take the translation with a pinch of salt, but he either means the company will be launching a "marketing" push with all of its hardware partners, or we'll be seeing Google-branded tablets like the Nexus range of phones by next Summer.
