The Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 is now available
The Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 is an interesting device, as an 8″ device with the S-Pen it intrigues me, yet the slightly mediocre spec and the usual selection of Samsung software also appeals/worries me.

They are offering the Note 8.0 for in two models, a WiFi only model and a WiFi and 3G model. The 16Gb WiFi model costs £359.99 here. – with finance available from £15.68/month. The 16GB 3G + WiFi model costs £469.99 here. with finance available from £20.48/month.

We are yet to review it but Leigh did get a hands on with it at MWC this year and you can watch that video here.

I’m interested in this size of device, but I think I’d rather have a slightly cheaper Nexus device personally or maybe an iPad Mini which this is obviously competition for.
