Tesco has entered the tablet market with the Hudl.
Although early rumours suggested the device would cost under £100, Tesco has revealed today that it will cost £119 and go on sale from September 30th.
The device comes with a 1.5Ghz quad-core processor, 7-inch 1440 x 900 HD screen, 16GB of storage, front and rear-facing cameras and Android 4.2.2.
The supermarket says the Hudl will allow it to have a ‘single relationship’ with its customers. Presumably it will try to entice more people to shop online via the device.
The tablet also integrates a number of Tesco’s services such as Blinkbox – the grocer’s answer to Netflix and LoveFilm – and Clubcard TV.
The Hudl comes in four colours and will be available to buy in store and online (via the Tesco.com and Tesco Direct sites).
