Weekly NMD Story...

Tesco's £119 Hudl tablet hits stores...
Affordable 7in Android challenger to Amazon's Kindle Fire and Google's Nexus 7 tablets is now available-store and online

The new Tesco's budget 'Hudl' tablet was announced last week and is now available on sale in 1,000 Tesco stores and online for £119. The tablet runs version 4.2 of Google's similar Android software on a 7inch high definition screen with 16GB of built in storage and a 1.5GHz quad core processor. The tablet is also available in four colours which are of black, blue, red and purple. It provides instant access to Tesco's online stores and services, including online grocery shopping, moreover the tablet has access to Google's Play Store and the full Android platform including the ability to run any of the standard Android apps. The Hudl costs £119, but can also be bought for £60 worth of Tesco Clubcard loyalty vouchers using Tesco's "Clubcard Booster" scheme.

- Hudl tablet £199.
- Tesco clubcard £60.
 "The tablet market is unbelievably competitive with extremely narrow margins, but that's something Tesco is used to," said Ben Wood, mobile analyst, talking to the Guardian.
- Version 4.2 of Google's similar Android software.
- 7inch high definition screen with 16GB of built in storage and a 1.5GHz quad core processor.

The new Hudl tablet is in a lot of competition I think as there are Amazon's £99 Kindle Fire and Google's £199 Nexus 7 tablet. Technology is growing very fast these days therefore a large audience would be interested in the latest gadgets available, especially when they are cheap with high definition and quality.
