I don't see how they could sell something comparable to the Nexus 7's hardware for that price without taking a pretty hefty loss. If they lower the specs a bit it might be attainable. Who knows though.

Nope, don't see this happening, unless it was heavily subsidized by the carriers, but even that seems to be going the way of the dodo bird, since telcos are too greedy anyways....

If they can crank out a $99 tablet without cheaping out to much on the hardware mainly the processor and graphics, I will be a buyer. I could careless about the screen or built in storage. At $99 I would rather have a good user experience instead of a nice display then a crappy user experience because the CPU and GPU can't keep up. storage they should have 2-4gb built in and then give us a micro SD or SD slot. People pay $99 for those tablets that are iffy on ebay from China, just think a well built tablet from ASUS sold by Google for $99. Sure the tablet is built in China as well but when you have Google and ASUS backing it I don;t think you can go wrong. Just hope this comes to fruition.

There is no reason they can't get the price down as tablets in general are way over priced, they have the margins that can easily drop in price.
I can get a much more powerful PC's for less than any iCrap or major Android tablet and that includes Netbooks too vs. tablets.
The problem with the Nexus is 3 fold, camera's, SD slot, and what was the third?
I will go with the Acer or maybe the FireHD before even thinking about the Nexus.

I'm guessing the $99 tablet will be "On contract" for the new 3G or LTE Nexus. Which means you will be tied to an overpriced data plan.
$99 for a WiFi only, no contract Nexus 7 would be a complete Game changer.
Oh, Im sorry... Did the middle of my sentence interrupt the beginning of yours?
