Hopefully has the shake to delete function. Something the iPhones lack.

Very funny!

I've little doubt that in 2-3 years, supermarkets will sell a variety of OK tablets from about £30-50 upwards. Just in the same way as DVD players and Blu-ray players.

The kids can eat it when they've finished playing with it.

eBay is already flooded with knockoffs and fakes of this.

Have you read the Daily Mash before?

I wonder how many years it'll be (if at all) until a tablet for £12.99 is no longer a joke. I wouldn't have predicted the £25 raspberry pi 10 years ago....

Not interested unless the display is retina.

Is it one of the Surface tabs?

Is this the UK equivalent of The Onion?

To be honest, if I'm buying electronics I go to an electronics store, why on earth would I go to a supermarket?

In before the lock, mods will not be happy when they see all this competitor talk with much cheaper tablets than they sell...
