    I know on price its a poor argument, so I apologise for that but the quality difference is massive, and I read about a couple bugs with WiFi etc which really put me off it.

    The demo units are locked down, you can't do bugger all on them, bit poor really.

    Sadly, stocks are running out because B&N is quitting the tablet market (hence the price cut) - you can't buy it direct from Nook, and very few places still have stock. For £80, it's a great little tablet.

    As my points had arrived last week I picked one of these up, really can't fault it for the dough, screen seems nice, performance is better than I was expecting, all the Tesco services seem useful, free stream-able content will do for my daughter along with a few games, job done.

    Can't see her being unhappy with it i was genuinely surprised at what it could handle.

    My Hudl failed last week, battery not longer holding charge, quite impressed with Tescos response, sent a courier and switched out a replacement next day, can't really complain at that, completely hassle free.

    I see they have just announced Hudl 2

    http://www.trustedreviews.com/news/tesco-hudl-2-officially-unveiled

    Lets hope they similarly hit it out of the park, though an Android device with an Intel chip is a little concerning due to compatibility and code translation issues, spec sounds good

    8.3" 1080p
    Quad Atom
    2Gb RAM
    Android 4.4
    £129

    Only downside was lack of updates on the Hudl but it did its job well for the price and buying it with points made it an absolute bargain.
