    Think I glanced at a headline somewhere that Tab 4 is being released May 1st. Could be completely wrong though.
    Same tablet is €129 + postage on Expansys as well, black or white colour. Out of stock for a few days at the minute though so PC World is probably the better deal.

    Not a bargain, sorry. The Asus Memo Pad is a much better buy IMHO.

    At the moment, I think Currys/PC World @ €129. But HUKD has reported it as low as £89 recently - http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/asus-memo-pad-hd-7-16gb-wifi-tablet-blue-89-online-with-code-3-quidco-89-clubcard-1876385

    £99 on Amazon, but with the VAT increase and exchange rate, it'll be close to €129. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00EOMRAKI

    The reviews for the Tab are desperate! I think the best one I saw described it as mediocre.

    Don't mind that sh1te. I can tell you its a fine tab, and if you can nab it for £79, its a no-brainer.

    certainly is a no brainer for the price, no doubt about that

    What custom kernel did you use? Is it as straight forward to root as an android phone?

    Last phone I rooted was the hTC desire! so its been a while.

    does it improve performance much?

    I'm thinking of buying one for much the same purposes - but would like a 10" one - the Asus Memo Pad 10" seems to be about €229 most places - anyone found them cheaper anywhere else or recommend an alternative quality 10" tab?

    Thanks

    It's the old model (I think, they seem to have it listed twice...).

    I prefer the Asus Memo pad, but if you need the extra 16gb, yeah, it's a good deal.

    This Nexus 7 is much better value IMO, even if its an extra €35.

    x4 amount of storage, better resolution, stock android and much faster all around.

    Or this even.

    I have to agree. The tab 3 7" is a basic tablet by 2014 standards. Got one for the father at Christmas and while its perfectly fine for some browsing or youtube, the lag really annoys me.

    The Nexus 7 (2012 or 2013 versions)would definitely be a better buy IMO

    How is the tab 3 8 inch for 180 Eur?
    I really want a good camera and in most reviews it says the google camera is crap, so thats why im leaning towards the tab 3 8 inch.
