This just in: it’s really hard to make a tablet that’s even halfway decent on the cheap. Reports The Verge:

Google’s first foray into the tablet market with a co-branded Android device won’t be with us until July at the earliest. The current design was ready to go for May, but Google pushed back the planned release so it could tweak the device, sources close to the project said on Friday.

The Mountain View team plans to make some design changes and hopes to lower the price from the current $249.

Rumor is that if Google delays it until 2015, they should be able to get the price down further. (Unless Apple still has the component market on lockdown, that is.)

Related: the six month window for everything great ever from Google has already slipped to seven months. 

So let me get this straight: the number one PC maker in the world is bowing out of that race amid declining sales.

The number two PC maker in the world just posted a net loss in the quarter — which, by the way, is their first loss ever.

But the PC business is totally peachy keen, right, Microsoft?

Sounds fairly unlikely at this point, but if so, I hope it comes in shit brown.
