Users get access to more than 700,000 games and apps in the Google Play store, along with over 500 free online magazines in Google Currents. The device has a 0.3-megapixel front-facing camera for live chats and the lens has been placed in the top right hand corner so that it works effectively in landscape mode. Buyers also get Wi-Fi 802.11, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS, a 3.5mm headphone jack, microsUSB slot and an internal speaker. The slate has 8GB of internal storage which can be expanded to 32GB via the microSD card.
