The new Nexus 7 was showcased yesterday, and Google overwhelmed us with an abundance of new features the device will support. It quickly became evident whilst watching the press event that the team at Mountain View have targeted the student market and are promoting the new features to appeal to both students in lower and higher education.

British retailers have begun accepting pre-orders for the new Nexus 7 today, just a day after it was announced by Google at an event in San Francisco. Currys and PC World were first to make their pre-order pages live, with prices starting at £199.99 ($306) for the 16GB model.

Both retailers are advertising a September 13 release date, which is around six weeks after the tablet is made available in the U.S.

Google showed off a couple of promotional videos for the new Nexus 7 during its press event on Wednesday, but if you didn’t get a chance to tune in, you would have missed them. Fortunately, they can now be found on YouTube via the official Nexus channel.

There are two videos for the new device — one of which promotes its virtual surround sound from Fraunhofer, while the other, called “Fear Less,” demonstrates how the device’s wide range of features can be used in education.

Google unveiled its new Nexus 7 on Wednesday, and it’s set to be accompanied by a second-generation Samsung Nexus 10 “in the near future.” That’s according to The Wall Street Journal’s Amir Efrati, who got chatting to Android chief Sundar Pichai after the press event in San Francisco.

Thanks to Best Buy and Sam’s Club, we’ve known what the new Nexus 7 looks like, what’s inside it, and how much it costs since early this morning — but at an Android event in San Francisco just now, Google’s Sundar Pichai has finally made it all official.

As expected, the new Nexus 7 will be the first device with Android 4.3, and you can pre-order yours today.
