A rumored press shot of Google's tablet, which is said to be launching in June.

The Google-branded Nexus tablet has been in the rumor-mill for quite sometime. According to rumors, the Mountain View-based company is expected to ship its own branded tablet, with the help of Asus to manufacture it. Google has also been rumored to sell it through an online store, much like it did with the Nexus One. According to a new report this morning, Google is waiting to ship the new tablet in June, pushing it back from the rumored May launch. The wait is reportedly to lower costs from $249, which will put the tablet on a more competitive level.

AmazonWireless is now dropping its beta-tag and is adding two new features that will be great for the customers. AmazonWireless will now feature price matching and will now give customers a Free Premium Apps bundle when a device is purchased.

For those of you using the Amazon appstore to get your free-app-of-the-day, you’ll be happy to know they have increased the maximum application size that can be downloaded over a mobile connection from 20MB to 50MB. This change comes in the latest update to the appstore and will now give you the convenience of downloading that must have app while on-the-go and away from a WiFi connection.
