"Google&amp;#039;s Nexus 7 tablet poses no threat to the iPad&amp;#039;s market dominance, according to an industry analyst. Topeka Capital Markets&amp;#039; Brian White believes that Apple&amp;#039;s cutting-edge technology and library of apps will help the tablet remain on top when the budget friendly alternative arrives on the scene, CNET reports.   &amp;quot;We believe the combination of Apple&amp;#039;s expanding digital grid, innovative design, unmatched aesthetics, leading App availability, intuitive user interface and expanding technology innovations will continue to keep the company on top of the tablet market for many years to come,&amp;quot; he wrote in an investor&amp;#039;s note. White also said that Apple entering the budget end of the tablet sector with the release of the rumoured iPad Mini is a possibility. Such a move would put the company in direct competition with Google and Amazon&amp;#039;s Kindle Fire. Developed in conjunction with Asus, Nexus 7 was unveiled at Google&amp;#039;s I/O conference yesterday (June 27). The tablet will feature a 1280x800 HD display, powered by a Tegra-3 chipset with a quad-core CPU and 12-core GPU, as a well as a front-facing camera and a raft of pre-installed software. Android 4.1 Jelly Bean was also unveiled during the event, along with the Nexus Q media player. Google&amp;#039;s Nexus 7 is available to pre-order now from Google Play, priced at \u00A3159 for the 8GB model and \u00A3199 for the 16GB. It will begin shipping in mid-July.
