Dixons store to sell Samsung 10in tablet early

Only place to get the Wi-Fi only version

Agentless Backup is Not a Myth

Want a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 a day before it launches? Then pop down to PC World on London's Tottenham Court Road on 3 August.

The retail giant is selling the tablet a day early. Well, almost. The ten-inch tablet will go on sale at 5pm.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

PC World will be charging £399 for the Wi-Fi only model, on which it has the exclusive for a month. So does Dixons' other chain, Currys.

The skinny, light - it's 8.6mm thick and weighs 565g - Galaxy Tab runs Android 3.1 Honeycomb on a 1GHz dual-core Nvidia Tegra 2 chip.

As the name suggests, it's a 10.1in tablet. The LCD screen has a resolution of 1280 x 800.

The Galaxy Tab 10.1 has 2.4GHz and 5GHz 802.11n Wi-Fi on board, Bluetooth 3.0, and front- and rear-facing cameras with 2m and 3mp pixels, respectively. ®

Customer Success Testimonial: Recovery is Everything

no thanks

proprietary connections hooooo!

They seem to have run out of good ideas to nick from Apple and have now started to appropriate the things I dislike about them.

Your tablet is bad and you should feel bad!

Yup

I'm really hoping the AndyPad (and AndyPad Pro, which still comes in under £200) will be decent and enough of a success to kick-start the market for non-Apple fondleslabs.

In the meantime, a netbook is the way forward for 99% of users I think.

299?

I'd be baulking at 199 of her Maj's portraits. I mean, it hasn't even got the fobile moan chip in it.
