Here comes the good news for all those who have preordered the Nexus 7 tablet from the Google Play Store. The Android creator has confirmed that the new tablet would be shipped to the customers over the next few days.
The guys from the Android Police have suggested in their reports that Google will ship out all preorders made through the Google Play store over the next three business days, with some tablets already on their way since June 13. Google has also informed that once customers' orders have shipped they will receive a confirmation email along with a tracking number so they know exactly what their shipment status is.
Google took Twitter to confirm they've begun shipping out tablets on June 13, where the following rhyming tweet was issued. Here's the full message:
"Locked and loaded, ready to play: we've started shipping +Nexus 7 pre-orders today!"
