I am interested in this tablet to replace my iPad 2 which I haven't touched in months and am completely bored with. The extra resolution, smaller size and super amoled plus HD screen are all plus's for me. Also seems to work brilliantly with ADW launcher ex, which is good as I hate touchwiz. I own a galaxy nexus so won't have to purchase many apps

Any owners here? Worth purchasing? £480 is a bit steep but still okay (my max for tablets is £500)

    OTT in price but that's just me. The smaller size is obviously both useful and a hindrance.
    I suppose if the netbook had never existed then it might not seem so overpriced. That mega expensive display is its savior if you consider that a 15" OLED TV is £1500.

    I'm eagerly awaiting the UK launch date. I think the size will be perfect for me.

    If bored with the iPad you'll get bored with the Galaxy too, unless you get heavy into the free development software.

    It reminds me that that Guardian editor advised readers to buy the iPad and get the developers kit for their kids education.
    Can you actually use that kit and install software you have written to a jailbroken iPhone without paying that $100 per year yet?

    The 7.7 is excellent and I'd rather have one over an iPad for sure...

    The only problem is it's not cheap - although still under your budget:

    The specs of this tablet look fantastic but the pricing is just ridiculous - especially for the 3G models. I think I'll stick to my £169 Playbook.

    Managed to get one for £350 online. It's amazing, screen is beautiful, super fast, thin, light, and also loving the metal construction
