Looks like £529 is the low price (available from Tesco Direct). However, this is like £100 less than other places are quoting so not sure what the deal is here. Is it wifi only, does it require a monthly contract? Website does not say.

Also here is a short BBC video showing the tablets available on the market now.

I'm actually somewhat nervous about the Canadian price. I assumed that $599 was going to be mirrored across US carriers, but this is sadly not the case. TMobile is charging $699US for the device! It would seem that either the MSRP is very high, or the carriers are being very, very greedy.

I'm planning on buying a Rogers device, so I'm hoping that either Rogers or ATT make the tablet available for $599. Otherwise, I'm going to play the waiting game.

But so far, there is no other device that's been announced that I would purchase over the Tab. They all have one short coming or another that causes them to fail my minimum requirements.
