Wikipad gaming tablet coming to UK next month

7-inch Android gaming tablet Wikipad - nothing to do with Wikipedia - referenced the UK for a September 27 arrival, where it'll be available at a "number of well-known retailers." As Engadget reports, it launched in North America back in June at a revamped $250; Wikipad was originally intended to be a $500 10-inch tablet. As is often the case with UK imports, the tag of £250 converts closer to that original 10-inch price, coming in at $388.

The Wikipad features a quad-core Tegra 3 processor with 12-core Nvidia GPU and "true widescreen HD," a 2 megapixel front-facing camera, 16GB of storage with a micro SD for 32GB more, and HDMI out. Dual analog console-style controls can also be detached from the device.
