Google will be cooperating with Asus this May to unveil their Google branded tablet. The tablet will retail for around $250 as reported by Digitimes. This is a big deal from Asus as they will be bettering their relationship with Google, and will learn how to develop better software to work on their tablets and phones.

Why did Google choose Asus?

Google also asked HTC to be their partner on the tablet but HTC didn’t want to work on it because it would ruin their image to make such a low priced tablet. Acer also said no because they didn’t have a proper in-house R&D department. Besides, Asus makes the best tablets out there besides Samsung. Google made a good choice going with Asus.

About Tyler Maciaszek

I started out as a Blackberry user and once that phone was stolen I went to Radio Shack looking at the HD2. Blackberry wasn't cutting it and admittedly I didn't know much about technology, or Android at that point so I looked at the phone with the biggest screen. I'm a media guy and I like to have it mobile. At that point the HD2 had a massive screen and that's exactly what I wanted. Immediately when I got there the manager talked me out of getting a windows device and talked me into Android. I didn't know much about CPUs, Android versions, or what a good spec sheet even looked like. I settled with the Samsung Sidekick and immediately began to hate Android. Probably from the ugly skin and the terrible specs that device had. I started looking how to make the device better and found XDA. That's when it all changed. I started learning about rooting, and flashing. From there I would go on to come across Android websites. How I found Land of Droid was through Twitter. I used #android once and John mentioned me asking if I would like to write for an Android blog. I was hesitant at first but I began to immediately love it. I am now a huge technology fan in all aspects not just mobile. Now when looking for a device I will now know that there are more to specs than a screen size.
