    Why BOTHER...

    Why bother posting what the UK price would be at a given exchange rate?!?! You KNOW that it will be the same digits as the US price, merely with a "£" sign stuck where the dollar sign used to be, or maybe slightly less, say £700.

    Not bad

    The price will be ridiculous. But at least Carphone W. hopefully will not sell it with tonnes of junk on it.

    Pity it's only going to be offered with Vodaphone. 3 offers a far cheaper data rate.

      I thought Vodafone only had the exclusive on the Samsung Tab 10.1, or do you know something we don't?

      Seeing it's CW handling it it, should be available on most networks.

    Congrats Moto....

    You've made a tablet positioned to compete with an iPad that *costs more* than an iPad. Well done!

      Are you sure

      Are you comparing the same spec iPad to the Xoom, as I make them out as being the same price but the Xoom gives you the full internet
