Google has just announced its first ever Android tablet, the Pixel C. Unlike Nexus tablets, which have seen Google team up with hardware manufacturers to help build the devices, the Pixel C has been designed and built solely by Google.

The Pixel C will come in 32GB and 64GB versions and will come with a “smart keyboard” that clips on – which Google promises will be “innovative”.
Rather than replacing the Chromebook Pixel, the Pixel C is aimed at people who would rather a tablet for occasional typing, rather than a laptop.
As well as coming with Android 6.0 Marshmallow, the Pixel C will come with USB Type C as well, which will allow for a single connecter for power, data and external displays. The new Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P phones from Google will also come with USB Type C, so it looks like Google is firmly backing the new connection type.
The Google Pixel C will go on sale in time for the holidays for $499 (around £329, AU$712) for the 32GB version and $599 (around £395, AU$855) for the 64GB edition.
