Another day, another Galaxy Tab launch. The latest Tab to be released is the awkwardly-named Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, which is now available at the Carphone Warehouse in the UK for £199 (~$315) for the 8GB Wifi-only version. The Galax Tab 2 7.0 is a re-imagining of the Tab 7 Plus, and includes a 1GHz dual-core CPU, 1GB of RAM, a 1024x600 TFT display and TouchWiz'd Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. There's also a redesigned front face featuring two side speakers, likely to protect against any legal shenanigans from Apple. All in all, the Tab 2 isn't going to blow you away with awesomeness, but you could do worse if you're after an Android tablet on a £200 budget.
The silver version of the Tab 2 is available now, while the white variant will launch next Friday, May 18. For more on the device, check out our hands-on preview from Mobile World Congress.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 lands at Carphone Warehouse in the UK
Why did they go back to a TFT display? Didn't the GTab 7 Plus have SuperAMOLED Plus?
You may be thinking about the 7.7.
I'm having a bit of a hard time understanding that British Spanish from the News widget. :)
I pre-ordered mine for delivery today (as advertised) and they haven't delivered it. On calling they said that they were never going to have stock in the warehouse until this afternoon, and therefore would never have been able to deliver by today. Lots of shouting down the phone means I *should* get mine Monday, but they are still on back order, so don't expect to get one soon, even if they've had your money for a while. #crooks
I prefer the silver version.
