Google has just recently unveiled a 32GB Nexus 7 tablet and has now announced that the 16GB model will get a reduced price from AU$299 to $249 for Australian customers.

The new 32GB version will take the $299 price tag while the 8GB version has been pulled out altogether.

The news came even after Google was forced to cancel the star studded launch event in New York due to Hurricane Sandy.

It has also announced three new gadgets. "We're excited to announce three great new Nexus devices in small, medium and large," says Google's Andy Rubin, SVP, Mobile and Digital Content. 

The three new gadgets include the two 7 and 10 inch tabs running Android 4.2, a new flavour of Jelly Bean, and there's a new LG Nexus 4 quad-core smartphone to boot, which is the small Nexus.

Google's new Nexus 7 (or Medium Nexus) has been made lighter and thinner, but rather than the WiFi-only model of prior, Google has fitted it out with 3G (HSPA+) and larger 32GB storage model. 

"Nexus—Google's hardware line for Android devices—gets rid of the hassle. Just sign in with your Google Account and everything is there ready to go, whatever device you're using: photos, emails, contacts, bookmarks, even your entertainment on Google Play.”

The Nexus 10 tablet, created in partnership with Samsung, is considered the highest resolution tablet with its 2560-by-1600 (300ppi) screen with over four million pixels. Its battery allows for nine hours of video playback and more than 500 hours of standby time.
