Each Google I/O attendee gets free Nexus 7

Each Google I/O attendee gets free Nexus 7, Galaxy Nexus and Nexus Q

One of the first people to get the Google Nexus 7 tablet are the developers and attendees at the Google I/O conference, which is currently taking place in San Francisco.

It’s a sweet déjà vu from a year before, when Google gave away free 32GB Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, Samsung Nexus S and Samsung Chromebook to each attending developer. Now the company is doing it again, but this time with its own, freshly announced Nexus 7 tablet, a brand new Galaxy Nexus and the innovative Nexus Q.

All 6000 developers and attendees will receive the aforementioned gadgets. This is the Google way of showing their gratitude to the hard-working Android developers.

What’s even better is that some of the gifted Nexus Q and Nexus 7 units will inevitably find their way to eBay in the next few days, so you might get a chance to get them before the public launch.

The Cupertino’s stock has been wobbling ever since the launch of the fifth-generation iPhone and according to few reports, the investors are concerned about the company’s contracting profit margins.

Apple’s upcoming products and innovations along with the superabundance of the assets have all raised a cause of concern among the investors, resulting in the drop of company’s share price and overall market cap.

Apple’s market cap saw a high of $650 billion in September 2012, but has been dropping ever since and the stock is now trading at the same value as in January 2012. Apple’s market cap is currently at $395.88 billion, but analysts expect the company to bounce back over the $400B mark in the upcoming weeks.
