If you’re tempted by HTC’s very nice-looking HTC Flyer Android tablet yet are HORRIFIED by the £599 asking price for the full power 3G version, there’s a cheaper way. The wi-fi only model.
UK retailer Currys is currently listing a 16GB non-3G model of the HTC Flyer with a price tag of £479.99 attached to it. Which is exactly the same as the current asking price for the 10″ XOOM.
Still way too much for a 7″ tablet, but heading in the right direction.
Huawei’s latest budget phone appeared out of nowhere a couple of weeks ago, announced as an exclusive by UK network Vodafone a day before going on sale — with a bargain price of £130 attached to the Ascend G510 should you buy it on a pay-as-you-go basis. It’s the natural replacement for the £100 Ascend [...]
We bought one of these using our actual money. We couldn’t quite believe that budget hardware maker Kogan was able to sell a 5″ Android phone for £119 plus delivery from Hong Kong so had to get one to have a look at the thing under our usual LABORATORY CONDITIONS. First impressions of the Kogan Agora [...]
The Panasonic Eluga marks the company’s return to the European mobile phone scene years after several years of absence, and it’s come back to us with a moderately high-spec Android model that features a rather stylish, slim case.
The HTC One V is HTC’s third entry in its high-profile new HTC One range, offering a smaller 3.7″ display running on a single-core 1GHz processor. It is is very much the “affordable” option in HTC’s newest Android series, but…
The HTC One S is the piggy in the middle of HTC’s 2012 line-up, offering a 4.3″ AMOLED display inside a very slim and stylish aluminium chassis. The end result is a phone that’s very, very slim and stylish.
HTC’s new quad-core monster, the 4.7″ flagship for 2012 that introduces the Tegra 3 processor to mobile phones, updates HTC’s range to Android 4.0 and brings us the supposedly streamlined version 4.0 of HTC’s Sense user interface.
HTC’s new quad-core flagship phone doesn’t just feature Android 4.0, a 4.7″ display and Nvidia’s newest Tegra 3 chipset – there’s also an entirely new 8megapixel camera in the phone, powered by a system HTC is calling ImageSense. And this camera is one of the many highlights of the new Android phone, offering the perfect [...]
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
We’ve spent most of the last week captivated by the staggeringly sharp screen of the new Sony Xperia S, while putting together what will hopefully be something resembling a review for you all to read very shortly. In the meantime, to be getting on with, here are a few sample photos and videos, taken using [...]
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?
£30? For a phone case? It had better be good.

Why are they all coming in so high. They are not iPads, and they have to find a market for themselves so pricing or way better specs is the only way.

/ April 19, 2011YouGov research out today has shown that £250 is the optimum price for the masses. It said at iPad prices tablets will only be niche products but once the price starts to drop then more and more will buy. I can imagine that soon Android vs the iPad will go the same way as Android vs iPhone – a range of devices with top end matching the Apple product on price but exceeding it on specs, slightly cheaper Android devices matching Apple but at a lower price and then many more devices at levels all the way down to the cheapest of PAYG.

The flyer is at least £100 too expensive. Just updated my blog on this very subject if anyone is interested…
Gary C
/ April 20, 2011There was a press release about it. It also said that about 70% of tablet users were buying one “in addition” to their PCs and laptops.
Which makes me all the more convinced it’s a weird, Apple-led micro-trend that’ll soon fade away.
