Patent pending :)

Take one table, one router, cut hole and sink this into it. It will need some sort of software screen rotation control. Also all power volume controls need to be front facing.

I'm calling it the iNexus

Samsung scents strong Android tablet sales

The real problem of course is...

I have a mobile phone that allows wi-fi tethering so I don't need a 3G tablet.

The default situation for the tablet will be using it at home or in the office through wi-fi. In most instances, out and about, I will prefer carrying my phone. In the case where I want to take my tablet with me, then all I need to do is tether it to my phone.

Samsung need to release a model without the 3G element.

Retailers price up Samsung 7in Android tablet

Samsung pricing

Samsung are looking at the retail price of the Galaxy S (£500) and have stated that it will be slightly more expensive even though play are selling a Galaxy S for £430.

So we can probably assume 'slightly' is 20% and this means that initially the price will be in the £600 range. However with the right type of tariff package, the 'up front' cost is likely to be £100-150 to the customer.

To be honest though, most phones tether now, so I can see most people wanting a wi-fi tablet, that, when they need to, can tether to their phone and those will never sell for more than £300 and even that may be a bit steep.

It is unlikely to be anything else.

OS Bias in Tagline?

Seriously this is the most rediculous bias I think I've seen.

"Attack reads smudges to retrieve smartphone password patterns" would have been a better tag line.

All you have done is stop those people with an iPhone/ a nother OS) from reading an article which may highlight a security risk that applies to them.

iPhone users get more sex than Android fans

It good be just showiing off

An iPhone buyer may be more interested in having a phone they can show off, no matter what the cost ergo they need to up the amount of sex they appear to be having. It's a mental attitude.

The other phones...realistic individuals who just want a smart phone or have had one forced on them by their company.

I was going to buy from Blizzard but wondered at the £45 price tag.

Checked Amazon £33

and through quidco.com to Tesco I eventually got it delivered for £29 with discounts and cashback.

Sorry Blizzard. I don't particularly care what the RRP is, but if I can buy a retail boxed version delivered for 1/3 less, you need to have a policy of price matching.
