MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
been trawling around on google, anyone spotted a deal better that £150 for the 16gb?
The new model? Where?
Carphone Warehouse had the old one at £129 at the weekend.
(non 3g)
On their website at £139 afaics
Is brand new important?
There were some refurbished models on Ebay - 32Gb IIRC for £120 yesterday.
EDIT:
2013 one is a massive improvement BTW.
Screen mostly.
Look in your local Tesco extra. They had some offers going but I didn't pay attention to them.
Seen the tesco refurbished ones on ebay the other day. Good price for 32gb but the new model seems kick ass. Might buy a gen 1 for my SO and wait a month or two then get myself a gen 2
It's for my 10yr old son for his birthday, any other tablets with a decent camera anyone would recommend, that's the only thing missing that he would maybe find useful.
My daughter needs a 'browser' for use at school. 2012 model good enough for basic browsing and probably saving a bit of data to a google drive account?
She wants an iPad mini but the Nexus price is pretty attractive.
any other tablets with a decent camera anyone would recommend
The original Nexus 7 only has a front facing camera. The 2013 version has both front and back facing cameras.

Sharkbait - the old model will be fine for that, but would she be using it a lot at school ( they are nice and portable, but the screen on any 7" tablet isn't huge )?
A tablet for a 10 yr old ....lucky boy!
I have both. The old one plenty good enough, but the new 16gb model is £199 on the play store and is definitely worth the extra £50. The screen is far better and it's a lot quicker too. Plus it has the rear facing camera.
Lucky boy indeed, seems most of his mates have a bloody ipad :S

An increasing amount. The school already has iPads in some departments but they've now sent a letter out stating that the internet is going to be used a lot more and all students should have a 'browser' of some kind - with tablets being favoured.
I was wondering whether to give her our iPad 2 to use but was wondering if it may actually be a bit big.
