Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 lands at UK's Carphone Warehouse
Brits left unaffected by last month's US launch of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 can now get in on the Ice Cream Sandwich action: the silver version of the tablet recently landed at Carphone Warehouse in the UK, and the white model is reportedly coming on May 18th. The retailer is offering the 8GB, WiFi-only flavor for £199. Though the Tab 2 7.0 didn't top the charts when it crossed our reviewer's desk, its solid performance and decent battery life make it one of the best value-priced Android 4.0 slates out there. Click through to the source link to reserve this 7-incher, but if it's the silver model you're after, it looks like you'll have to pick up the phone to make the purchase (at least for now).
UK aftermath: Wii is fastest selling console ever
Now that the dust has settled and you UK gamers are in a desert without any body of water in visible sight, we can carefully analyze the numbers from the Wii launch, numbers so huge that they have crushed all other UK numbers into a fine dust, and inform you that the Wii beat all other previous launches in UK history. If this were a bar fight, the Wii would be holding a flaming chair, while the GameCube would likely hold a broken bottle and the Xbox 360 would be lying on the ground, bleeding and crying its precious little high-def eyes out. See, the Wii sold a total of 105,000 over its launch weekend, beating out the previous holders of the crown in the Xbox 360 and GameCube, which sold 72.000 and 52,000 respectively at launch. Wii FTW!
