The tablet will first go on sale in the UK next month for £274.99, and there is no word if it will come to the US. Here's a quote with the details of this new

The tablet also offers lots of connectivity options including a mini HDMI output, USB host for transferring data from the flash drive or hard drive, and integrated Wi-Fi. The tablet has 8 GB of internal storage and a microSD card slot for storage expansion. The tablet ships with a quick stand making it a freestanding unit.
