Google is to launch its flagship Nexus 7 tablet computer in the UK without music, magazines or TV shows after failing to strike rights deals with several media groups.
The company's first own-branded tablet computer will go on sale in the UK on 19 July, but many potential buyers could be put off paying £169 for the device without a full library of content.
Google's closest rival in the tablet market, Amazon, also failed to settle rights issues with media groups last year, meaning it has been unable to launch its Kindle Fire in the UK.
The setback makes it more likely that Google will struggle to compete directly with Apple's market-leading iPad, which is £160 more expensive than the Nexus 7 but boasts a huge library of music, films and TV shows.
