Supermarket launches tablet computer

Tesco has launched a seven-inch tablet computer called the Hudl.

The supermarket giant hopes the colourful Android-operated gadget, priced at €141, will attract customers who might not have been able to afford one before.

It has a high-definition widescreen display, nine hours of video battery life, and 16GB of memory, which can be extended to 48GB.

Tesco Clubcard customers will be able to get their hands on a Hudl for less than €119.

The tablet has an in-built Tesco launcher button, which allows users to shop, see their Clubcard points, watch movies on Tesco’s Blinkbox system, and listen to music.

It also comes with in-built apps, including YouTube and Google Chrome.
