Google's $99 Tablet Maybe Here for the Holidays

I have been beating the $99 - drum for a while, but for me it represents the sound barrier for the tablet market. Sure there are lesser-known brands available for under $99 - but performance and quality have been issue. But RUMOR-has-it, that Google is following up its Nexus 7 with a $99 model just in time for the holidays. According to Digitimes,

"The US$99 Nexus tablet is equipped with an ARM-architecture single-core processor 8950 developed by China-based WonderMedia Technologies, and a HUVA TN panel made by Taiwan-based HannStar Display, the sources said. "

Taiwan-based Quanta Computer denied to comment on whether it is producing the $99 tablet.
But the real news here is that a Google branded $99 tablet could become the holiday gift of the year - and I think on a scale of Tickle Me Elmo. Analysts expect tablet sales to increase by 60% by the end of the year and a $99 Google tablet will help that number become a reality.
