    especially if the $199 Nexus 7 price is exchanged fairly into pounds to become £130…
    Well once you add VAT, that price becomes over £150, even if it is exchanged fairly into pounds.. and that's without import duty.

    Shouldn't the US have import duty as well? I mean, it's either made in China or Taiwan so they need have to it shipped as well. Ah well, I fully expect it to be at least 200 quid...

    Does look good, and I'm not upset about the lack of a back camera, but will there be one for video talking on the screen side?

    it depends on how its shipped as to whether or not they pay import taxes.

    Just popped over to http://www.dutycalculator.com/new-im...x-calculation/ and it reckons (and feel free to criticise the figures I put in - especially the zero ship costs, since I've no idea how much it'd cost to ship a single device)
    1
    From where to where you import
    Importing from: China
    Importing to: United Kingdom
    2
    The type of product, its value and where it was manufactured
    Product description: Google Nexus
    Product category: Tablet PCs & iPads (8471300000)
    Product value: US$199.00
    Country of manufacture: China
    3
    The cost of shipping and insurance of importing
    Shipping costs: US$0.00
    Insurance costs: US$0.00
    Calculation results

    Total customs value: £127.94
    - Duty: £0.00
    - VAT: £25.59
    Total import duty & taxes due: £25.59
    Total landed cost: £153.52 at USD/GBP exchange rate of 0.6429
    Calculation notes
    Notes on duty & taxes rates
    Google Nexus is duty free and has a VAT rate of 20% .
    Notes on import taxes due
    Please note, to ensure accurate duty and VAT results, you must declare all shipping charges that are not already included in the value of your goods.
    Please note, if your goods have been insured for international transport, and the cost of the premium is not already included in the value, you must declare it separately to ensure accurate duty and VAT results.
    Please note that your shipping provider may add an additional handling fee
    So even allowing for a decent markup, that's £180-£200, which - to me at least - sounds like a pretty damn reasonable price for that device.

    Can't help thinking that if it does ship for that price then that's going to seriously annoy Amazon, since it'll make a £200 Kindle Fire look very overpriced.

    Certainly looks promising.

    Also: Nexus 7 - Even more human than human!

    I hope that you can expand the storage beyond 8/16GB and that expandable isn't sacrificed in favour of making the tablet thinner or in expense of a "bigger" battery. As much as Apple/Google/Microsoft would have you believe, cloud storage isn't as integrated or as reliable as they want you to think.
