                As yet there's no news as to whether we'll see this device in Europe. Would you be interested if it does land here?

A Galaxy Nexus with a different coat on? :)

[Guest simonamc]

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

[Guest domenico lamberti]

i would love one of these, even if this hasnt got a quad-core CPU, that screen size for me seems perfect

[Guest Kazekage Gaara]

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.
