You get an SD slot thrown in, I might be interested if it was priced near £200.

Any info on the GPU and CPU ? Last specs leak of this budget premier device showed it was inferior in specs compared to Galaxy SII I9100 and priced higher than it.

No official info, other sites are claiming same CPU and GPU as Galaxy Nexus, but as it's not official I've not included it.

Maybe the TI 4470, the same CPU as in the 8.9 Kindle HD. If this is correct that is a pretty competent chip.
