Google Books, Nexus 7 quietly launch in Japan

Posted by SBS

Right now, the 16 GB Nexus 7 is available on the Play Store for ¥19,800 with a shipping time of 3 to 5 days to addresses in Japan. Google Plus is going nuts. (Well, at least a couple of people are.) There is also a Japanese website for the Nexus 7 now.


In addition, the Google Books section of the play store is also now live, and the Books android app appears fully funtional. On top of that there are rumored sightings of both Andy Rubin and Eric Schmidt in Japan.

  1. The Nikkei yesterday night (Japan time) reported that Eric Schmidt is in Japan indeed. He will be officially announcing "new products" and plans for the local market.

  2. Excellent, though it would have been more dramatic if they kept the lid on this until launch. On the G+ thread I linked to, I think we already have 10 orders for the 16GB version.

  5. I ordered a Nexus 7, from Japan, with the same American credit card that I usually use to buy apps from Google Play.
