Carphone Warehouse cuts price of 32GB Nexus 7

Carphone Warehouse has announced that it has cut the price of three leading tablets in the build-up to Christmas. The online retailer released a statement saying that it aims to offer the lowest tablet prices on the high street.
It has already cut the price of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 to as little as £119, the 16GB iPad 3 to £359 and the 32GB Google Nexus, which was launched two weeks ago, down to £189 (though it currently still appears on the website for £195), a £10.99 (or 5.45 per cent) discount from the official SRP. The only major difference between the Nexus models is the jump in storage capacity.
Otherwise, there’s the same quad-core, Nvidia Tegra 3 system-on-chip, clocked at 1.3GHz, 1GB of RAM, a 7in, 1,280 x 800 display with Gorilla Glass, a front facing 1.3-megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, a microUSB port but no microSD one and no HDMI port as well.

The Nexus 7 single-handedly started a revolution in the small format Android tablet sector, which saw prices tumble. It is likely that a similar thing will happen with the impending launch of the Nexus 10, which will sport a Cortex-A15 core and a 4-megapixel display.

iPad mini or Nexus 7? Tablets to dominate Christmas shopping as PC market struggles

 

It doesn't exactly come as the shock of the century, but shoppers are set to spurn purchases of traditional PC devices in favour of more interactive toys this holiday season, according to the latest research.

A PriceGrabber survey has revealed that 59 per cent of consumers would prefer to receive a tablet as a festive gift, and iconic US manufacturer Apple unsurprisingly ranks at the top of the collective wish list: nearly two-thirds of respondents (63 per cent) proffered that their preferred present would be a third or fourth-generation iPad, with a further 24 per cent saying that they were hoping for an iPad mini.
