The retailer is also selling the Connect tablet with a new Lumia 530 smartphone together for ?129 without a contract, or for free with a ?12.50 a month contract for 24 months.

I am in the process of returning my newly acquired TESCO CONNECT 7 to Tesco Direct as it seems to have developed a problem with its power unit within 12 hours of using it for the first time.

The tablet has definite possibilities and I am looking forward to getting a working replacement as soon as possible.

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any form of system manual available at present; only a tiny pamphlet included in the box which provides an introduction to using the unit and the basics of the menu-system.

Sadly there isn't a single mention of the TESCO CONNECT 7 on the Tesco Tech Support online help pages either.

I guess it's still early days for this product and there are bound to be some teething problems.
