Whilst on the cheap nexus devices this is a good price for a Nexus 7.
Clocked that this morning and cursed under my breath as I purchased one for my wife a week ago.Fortunately she likes it though so the cost is now irreverent.I'd get one myself if it a) had a microSD slot; b) had an exchangeable battery. Perhaps the price has been dropped due to a newer Nexus device being imminent (they did recently spruce up the Nexus 7, but didn't add these features to them so not holding my breath).
Paul, giffgaff explicitly don't allow tethering, simple as that.
But, 3 / Three 'One Plan' is also 18 quid a month, 30 day contract, and has unlimited data and way more mins and texts than I could use ever (might be 600 mins / 5000 texts). And they didn't muck about with porting the number, 24 hours max. Just get that one, I've done the research already.

That looks interesting, I wonder what contracts will look like on it. Although, non-expandable internal storage is my current headache.
