Nexus 7 is the UK's most successful Android tablet ever

Google's seven-inch slate obliterates the competition. Except for iPad, obviously.
It's only been on sale for three months, but Google's Nexus 7 is already the all-time best-selling Android tablet in the UK.
The data comes from Carphone Warehouse, who says that while the tablet falls some way behind Apple's iPad, no other Android slate comes close.
Talking to The Telegraph, Carphone Warehouse's Graham Stapleton said: "It’s impressive that this product is our biggest selling Android tablet, and it will be really interesting to see if other manufacturers will follow suit with smaller tablets over the coming months to spice up the Christmas period.”
It will be interesting, especially with the new Amazon Kindle Fire and Fire HD about to hit the UK.
Google originally said it hoped to sell three million Nexus tablets by the end of 2012. At the moment, estimates are closer to eight million.
Stapleton continued: “Looking at the sales of the Google Nexus tablet, it’s clear that there is a massive demand amongst our customer base for smaller tablets.
“We’re seeing a real shift in what customers are using their tablets for, with more and more watching content on the go. It’s now common to see people using their tablets during the morning commute or catching up on the day’s news in a local coffee shop, and smaller devices make it easier to handle.”
