While I love the price point and the fact you can now buy a quad core tablet (i'll be getting the 8gb £159 version) for so cheap considering i bought my nexus s in january for £200 haha, what surprises me the most is that they did away with the tablet UI and i'm very sad about that, was using my mates transformer couple of days ago and for a tablet it just makes sense for it to all be at the bottom, rather than 2 bars 1 at the top and 1 at the bottom.Anyway, once i save up this will be mine.
