<\/span><\/p>\n \nWhen asked during today’s Google earnings call about Google’s future plans with tablets, CEO Larry Page furthered the rumor that Google is working on its own low-cost tablet. Or at least working with other vendors to bring them to market.\n<\/p>\n \n“We’re very excited about tablets,” he said. “Obviously there’s been a lot of success on some lower-price tablets that run Android, maybe not the full Google version of Android. But we definitely believe that there’s going to be a lot of success at the lower end of the market as well with lower price products… It’s definitely an area we think is important and we’re quite focused on. “<\/p>\n Google could be setting up to follow a similar playbook as it did with smartphones: In addition to supporting developers and manufacturers who release their own products, the company also has one smartphone product that it takes a special interest in and controls more carefully: the Nexus.\n<\/p>\n \nCNET Executive Editor Roger Cheng believes that Google’s entrance into the low-cost tablet market would cast a pall over the segment<\/a><\/span> for other manufacturers.
