I agree, Ebuyer cheaper, better service and cashback via Topcashback so even cheaper.

As to the Tablet, ok'ish but personally I wouldn't like a 10" tablet in 16:9 (widescreen) ratio - screens are measured diagonally so I think you might be surprised just how small this tablet would actually seem compared to say a 10" Ipad which is more 4:3 sort of ratio. Something like an Onda V971 would be my preference in this price range if you can find a dual core one, they recently got upgraded to quad core and the price shot up. Dual cores are OK.

having owned several tablets I can tell you one thing I have found is..
price=battery life...
might not seem like much of a pain, but when you got to charge it up every 2 hours it becomes annoying...
Had a few £100-£150 ones and battery only ever lasts 2-3 hours..
now bought more expensive ones £300+ and battery lasts 18-20 hours..
