We know Google will make sure pretty much every part of the world gets to try its first own-branded tablet – Nexus 7. Customers in UK will be able to get the 7-inch tablet starting from July 19th, when Dixons Group-owned Currys will start offering the 16GB model for 199 GBP, which translates into some $310. Yeah, taxes are higher on the other side of the Pond. If you want to be among the first ones to get the Nexus 7, you can already reserve your unit from this page.
Of course, Dixons won’t be the only company to sell Google’s tablet with The Carphone Warehouse also promising to get it in late July. Nothing too specific though I guess they’ll get it few days after Dixons. As for the price, there’s no point to wait an additional day or two – it will be the same 200 pounds for the 16 gig model.
Finally, I’ve no doubts other retailers will join the pack in no time at all, leaving you a ton of options to choose from. Hopefully, the increased competition will also slash few pounds from the price. We’ll see…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
