UK retail giant Dixons has hacked another GREAT BIG LUMP off the price of Motorola’s XOOM tablet, now selling the wi-fi only version of the Honeycomb device for £329. That’s one heck of a discount from the Android 3.0 tablet’s original £499 launch price – and lower than the £399 Dixons was asking for it a mere three weeks ago.
Plus it comes with 32GB of internal storage space. This is now a definite Category A bargain, even under cutting the popular Eee Pad Transformer by a few quid.
We are tempted. But given how quickly prices of tablets are plummeting all around, we think there may be even better bargains to be had in the coming months. Check the new cheaper XOOM out over at Dixons. The 3G version has also been reduced by a similar amount, now coming in at £399.
Anyone would think the XOOM had been an utter catastrophe at retail, eh?
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.
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?
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?

/ September 5, 2011Yikes. £150 cheaper than I paid a couple of months ago. Seems like tablets are finally starting to drop below the stupid money waterline.

/ September 5, 2011This is exactly what we want from android tabs, imo anyway.
iPads will always stay at roughly the same price, christ the original one is still silly money. With the entrance into the market from the bigger companies all selling standardised systems in the same niche comes the ability for the market to attenuate their prices.
So, thankfully, we’ll all get to have some very capable devices very soon for a very reasonable price.
Especially once kal-el comes out and we get generation 2 android tabs running ICS and quad cores.
