Google Nexus 7 tablets will lack content in UK

A Google spokesperson has confirmed that the Nexus 7 won't feature music, magazine or TV show categories when it is launched in the UK on July 19.

The company failed to strike the appropriate deals with several media groups, meaning that the full library of content expected will not be available, although UK users will still be able to rent movies and purchase books via Google Play.

Google was unable to reveal when these features will appear in the Google Play store in the UK, telling TechRadar: "We don't have anything more to share on timing. We plan to continue expanding the movies and TV shows category to more countries in the coming months."

The amount on offer for the Nexus 7 is still impressive, especially for a $199 device, but this setback could be especially damaging for Google if Apple decides to go ahead with the rumoured iPad mini.
