Use the voucher HARDWARE10.

USB, HDMI, Bluetooth, WiFi and more.

Still don't see the point of tablets just yet, but a good deal.

have to say im in the 'whats the point of a tablet' group. a laptop is faster, more capable, stronger so if you sit on it it doesn't break and its cheaper.

I'm holding out for my Playbook, added bonus if it is really going to be running Android apps too.
I can see the point of tablets to a degree, but annoying as hell when the all short on simple things.
Is there a place in my life for one, I guess I have to admit there is, but would I try and replace my PC or net book with one, nope!

The Xoom does seem to have to ruffled some feathers out there, and in fairness the pricing there with the voucher is good going. Won't be bothering with iPad2 for sure.

It's not about the numbers it's about usability and experience. Tablets are eminently more usable than a laptop and some tablets are a notably better experience than others.

The new apps from Apple showcase usability and experience, take a look at Pages, Numbers, Garage Band and iMovie, who's going to develop similar apps for other tablets? I can't see it happening and you'll be stuck with a big phone, which is admittedly pointless.
