It seems that the 16GB Google Nexus 7 has grabbed too much attention from fans and the Google Play store has been quick to run out of stock. A scroll through the official product page in the virtual marketplace will show a ‘Coming Soon’ listing for the gadget.
Prospective users in the US, the UK and Canada can hit the ‘Notify Me’ button to get updated as soon as the 16GB variant resumes shipping. Some other retailers in Canada namely, NCIX, Future Shop, Best Buy, London Drugs and Staples have now run out of supply. And it’s a similar situation for various sellers in the UK and the US too.
For a quick recap, the tablet is amongst the first few devices to run the freshly disclosed Jelly Bean OS. It shows off a 7-inch display proffering images in resolutions of 1280 × 800p and 216ppi sharpness. It is protected with Corning Gorilla Glass for added ruggedness, while there’s a front facing 1.2MP snapper for video conferencing over the web.
Leaning on 1GB RAM, all the slate’s operations are fueled by a quad core Tegra 3 chipset. In terms of connectivity, it extends support to Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth. The 4325mAh battery buried within its chassis is expected to survive about 300 hours of standby time or 10 hours of web surfing or 9 hours of HD video streaming. Tipping the scales at 340g, the tablet is built around dimensions measuring 198.5mm x 120mm x 10.45mm.
As mentioned on MobileSyrup, the 16GB Google Nexus 7 may probably be found on eBay.
