U.K Supermarket Tesco Moves into Video on Demand With BlinkBox Deal
The seven-inch Android-operated Hudl will go on sale Sept. 30 and cost about $191 (£119), less than the iPad, but around the same as the Kindle and Google Android devices.
The Tesco tablet, which comes in four colors, has a button that allows users to watch movies and TV shows via the supermarket company's Blinkbox online video service, listen to music, shop or check their Tesco club card points. Club card holders can also watch free video content via the company's Clubcard TV service.
"Hudl is a colorful, accessible tablet for the whole family to enjoy," said Tesco CEO Philip Clarke. "The first stage in our tablet offering, it's convenient, integrated and easy to use with no compromise on spec. Customers are quite rightly very discerning about the technology they buy, so we knew we had to be competitive on all fronts."
Addressing the tablet competition in Britain, he said: "Being online is an increasingly essential part of family life, and whilst tablets are on the rise, usage is still quite limited. We feel the time is right for Tesco to help widen tablet ownership and bring the fun, convenience and excitement of tablets to even more customers across the U.K."
According to U.K. media regulator Ofcom, three quarters of British households do not have a tablet yet. "Tesco's research found that many feel that the technology is too expensive or intimidating," the supermarket firm said.
The Wifi-enabled Hudl has 16GB of memory, which can be extended to 48GB. It includes apps for the likes of YouTube and Google Chrome.

Sony Looks to Move PlayStation Titles to Tablets, Mobile Devices...

The company wants to expand its portable gaming presence, thus far limited to two tablets and a mobile phone.

Sony Corp. is in talks with various manufacturers of mobile phones and tablet computers in an effort to bring video game titles from its PlayStation over to more portable devises.
The Wall Street Journal reports Sony revealed ambitions for widening its video game market during All Things Digital's Asia D conference in Hong Kong Friday.

This would involve the expansion of tie-in application PlayStation Suite, which is currently only available on two Sony-made tablets and a mobile phone, and more partnering on its Sony Ericsson joint venture.

"This isn't an ecosystem where we want to keep everything within the Sony family," said Sony executive deputy president Kazuo Hirai. "This is not just for Sony devices."

Hirai wouldn't comment on what companies Sony had approached about carrying PlayStation Suite, but the application currently runs on Google's Android platform and individual devices would need to meet certain hardware specifications set by the company.

He would not comment on reports that Sony is in advanced talks to buy out its partner, Ericsson.
