What the hell?
I've been keeping an eye on Tablet computing for a while. I'd love to own a decent sized Tablet for usage around the flat, although I can't possibly justify spending the money this year.
Anyway, there's a bunch coming out for Christmas, but I was generally expecting them to cost about £400.
So can someone explain why the £$%£$% Next have a 10" one sitting on their website for £180?
Either they're selling a cheap knockoff with horribly inferior quality, or they've really mispriced it. Anyone?
Edit: Ok, so if £180 is a reasonable price, why is the Samsung Galaxy Tab going to be priced at £600? And why are mobile phones with similar specs going for £400? Are 3G modules that expensive?

I hardly think that's fair.

octopoid_horror sent me this image earlier:
which is apparently of the world's awesomest wedding.
I forwarded it on to Julie with the words "can we?"*
The reply I got?
"I'm changing the locks."
*Not that we're planning a wedding at the moment. That's a fair ways into the future.
