We have always had cheap tablets and instances of Google support yet they have never made a dent.
What has happed is Google has finally executed a flawless marketing campaign combined with a great product.
Here you have a full fledged tablet with specs better than any tablet on the market for only $199. Not only that it has the latest OS backed by the Google Nexus label which pretty much guarantees future upgrades. For the price it's still the best tablet on the market.
Prior to the launch google changes the name of the market and focuses on content/entertainment (google finally 'gets' the tablet market--their consumption devices)
When their product is launches it has full integration to the Play store. Not only that they launch it on their Google IO and give away all Nexus 7 to the audience(aka reciprocity rule).
Then comes Google's commercials which are spot on and tug at the right human emotions. For the first time my children are asking me for a Nexus tablet, I've never told them what it was Google has finally brought awareness to the average joe.
There was a lot that happed it wasn't just Google or the price.
