7" tablet's

Can't fault this hudl yet. Still not rooted, as I DID follow the instructions and charge
It for 3 hours before I started.

Well pleased so far for £80, and like crin766 said, after 45 days, Tesco is just down the road, not across the sea.

Im thinking of doing that - which one were you looking at? This looks like a great spec but it's more money

www.fasttech.com/products/1120/10000129/1382604-yuandaovido-n80-ips-80-quad-core-16ghz-android-411

Im just worried about the possibility of getting an import tax notification and after sales care is likely to be non existent.

The Samsung tab 2's are 99 from currys but they are getting on a bit now and could become incompatible with android apps?

And the hudl... looks great and if it breaks - I can walk across the road and get it sorted but it's more than I planned to spend

Thats the one.

Cheap as chips and looks ok. Shes only 10 so anything flashy would be wasted.
I doubt I would incur any customs tax because fasttech do some 'magic' to make it all ok. Lol

This has a better spec for the same money

Make sure they can send via a different carrier before ordering!

It allows access for some (potentially dangerous) programs to be run on it. If you're not familiar with Linux and/or modifying/messing about with android, you've got a lot of reading ahead. So far though the stock Hudl seems excellent for the money
If you don't know what rooting is, you probably don't,need to do it.

Bought a Hudl today fred for one of the kids for Christmas, good reviews and good price, what more can you ask for, had my eyes on it for sometime now and thought might aswell get it out of the way.

One kid down, 3 more to go icon_shoppingm

Ordered 3 hudl's! Job done

[fred]

The idea of having just purchased a Hudl seems to get better and better. 
I rooted it last night, and got rid of all the tesco bloatware and the annoying little [T] button at the bottom.
Will be installing picuntu Linux in the recovery partition later today (will dual boot with android), so looks like this WILL replace my dodgy old laptop, which now has a dodgy keyboard & even Dodgier gfx card.

And best of all - Tescos have just released the kernel source code for these little puppies, so watch the custom ROMs start rolling out 

[Blownupdolly]

At this rate, there won't be any Hudls left y the time I am ready to get one for my granddaughter.
I have had to fork out £650 to get a wheelchair hoist fitted to my car, which means I can't afford to get one for a couple of weeks

There's 5 Tesco Extra stores within easy driving distance of me, and could I get a Hudl?
Nope - I had to order online & get it delivered to the store about 1/2 mile away!

And It looks like the purple folk are now in luck - they finally seem to have purple ones in stock.

Same here, no stores had them so had to order online, didn't bother me as it was free delivery and it's a Christmas prezzy so no rush to use it.

Thanks Fred. It will be easier for me to order online. Glad they have the purple as that's the one I want. Why they didn't do pink for the little girls I don't know! GD is obsessed with pink like many little girls. Seems odd to me.
