Looks like that September 3rd date was bogus as customers in France, Germany and Spain can now order their Nexus 7 unit from the Google Play store. The 8GB model goes for 199 EUR, while the one sporting 16GB of built-in storage costs 249 EUR. That’s more than what Americans are paying, but I guess we have the higher taxes to “thank” for this. And besides – by now, most Europeans are used to paying more for their gear.
Anyway, it’s nice to see Nexus 7 hitting more markets, however Google needs to up the ante and make its tablet available all around the world as soon as possible. The upcoming announcement of the iPad mini can seriously impact the Nexus 7 demand.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
