Google's Nexus 7 tablet outed before I/O 2012 (update: specs leak too!)

[![Google's Nexus 7 tablet outed before IO][1] ][2]

Well, it looks like the [rumors][3] are true. This morning, just ahead of 2012's [Google I/O initial keynote][4], _Android Police_ dug up what looks to be an official press shot of Mountain View's unannounced 7-inch tablet, aptly named the Nexus 7. As opposed to our previous sneak peek, this shot shows what is most assuredly the home screen for [Jelly Bean][5], and comes directly from Google's servers. Glad we got that settled. Now we just need to know about the actual hardware inside -- good thing we've only gotta wait another hour or so to find out.

**Update:** Hoo, boy! The hits keep comin'. The good golks at Modaco managed to grab screenshots for the sale page of the Nexus 7, replete with screenshots and specs. Turns out, the tablet has a 1280x800 IPS display coated in "scratch-resistant Corning glass," which we presume is of the Gorilla variety. It comes with either 16 or 32GB of storage, plus 1GB of RAM, and is powered by NVIDIA's quad-core Tegra 3 SoC.
