Google to sell 2nd-gen Nexus 7 tablet from July: sources

Google will launch a new version of its Nexus 7 tablet powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon processor around July, two sources told Reuters, as the software giant pushes deeper into the cut-price mobile hardware market.

Google is aiming to ship as many as eight million of the Asustek-made tablets in the second half of the year, throwing down the gauntlet to other low-end tablets such as Amazon.com’s Kindle Fire and Apple’s iPad mini, the sources with knowledge of the new product said.
