The £299 UK ASDA deal is out of stock but Amazon UK have it now but this price gets you the WiFi only version.

However I think I shall put my wallet down and wait for the HTC 7" Flyer.

The specs are much more appealing, aluminium body, 1.5 GHz processor (not sure if it has Tegra though) and 1G RAM. Also I prefer to have a HTC device over Samsung

I am sorry if this is old news but I only pop by from time to time. And each time the Thread has grown by 20 pages, too fast for me to catch up.

I guess I have answered my own question regarding the future for 7" tablets. It looks good.
