ASUS rumoured to be releasing a Nexus 7 with 3G connectivity

Google and ASUS have undoubtedly set a fire under the sale of Android tablets in recent months with the launch of the Nexus 7. However, there are undoutedly those out there who may need extra features such as a rear camera, a larger 10 inch form factor or perhaps 3G connectivity.

While we haven't heard about about a special rear camera model and ‘Nexus 10' rumours have dried up over the past month, Paul O'Brien of MoDaCo has heard from a “very well placed insider” that a 3G model is coming “in around 6 weeks”.

Apart from the additional Icera cellular modem, the Nexus 7 will remain how it is today, and how we reviewed it recently. Chances are the 3G model will also be priced a little higher than the current 159 GBP asking price for the 8 GB, Wi-Fi only model.

KitGuru says: Put this under the rumour files for now, but I do believe a 10 inch model would sell better.
