Google Nexus 7 by ASUS is thin, light and portable, so it’s perfect for carrying around and using on the go. You’ll get access to a choice of 600,000+ apps and games, millions of eBooks and thousands of movies – all will be perfect for your new tablet.
Designed for comfort and portability.
Nexus 7 by ASUS has been designed so it can be used all day. It’s light at only 340g, so it won’t tire your arms out, small so it’s easy to carry around, and the shape, with a curved and textured back, have been chosen for comfort. The 7” display makes this all possible. With ultra sharpness and beautiful colours thanks to an IPS screen, ASUS TruVivid technology with Corning® Fit Glass and a 1280 x 800 HD resolution, it’s ideal for movies and photos, as well as web chats using the 1.2MP front facing camera.
The first Android 4.1 Jelly Bean device.
As the first device to run the brand new Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system, the Nexus 7 by ASUS is state of the art. Jelly Bean has been designed to eliminate lagginess, so everything is faster, smoother and crisper. Slide your finger on the screen and Nexus 7 by ASUS will predict where you’re going, making your experience seamlessly fast. Want more widgets on your homescreen? Widgets are automatically rearranged and even resized.
There’s more from Jelly Bean.
And that’s not all. There’s also offline voice typing, a super intelligent keyboard that’ll predict your next word and a smarter, more advanced Notifications app. A beautiful and fast new voice-based Google Search gives you a digital assistant. Ask questions and you’ll get digital cards displaying relevant information, and even voiceovers to tell you the answers to your queries.
The first 7” tablet with a quad core processor.
Portability now doesn’t have to compromise on performance. Combining the new Jelly Bean OS with the NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad core processor gives you flawless speed and response times, no matter what you’re doing. So that’s watching HD content, playing super fast HD games and epic multitasking.
Made for Google Play.
Google Play unifies all of Google’s content – apps, books and movies – and Nexus 7 by ASUS is the perfect partner as the two were made for each other. With the portability of a book it’s always with you, yet with extreme power it can handle everything. Have every app you need at your fingertips, carry your whole book library with you and be able to look at your complete media library whenever you want. Games? With all the power, screen clarity and motion sensors you’ll need, any game you want is with you.
Battery life.
Have power all day thanks to the 4325mAh battery inside Nexus 7 by ASUS. It’s good for 9.5 hours* of active use, so that’s games, videos or planning your diary. Worried about the quad core? NVIDIA’s Tegra 3 has a fifth ‘companion core’ that uses less power than the four main cores. This smaller core takes over when your Nexus 7 is doing basic tasks, like writing emails or web surfing, saving battery power for when you need it most.
Looking for a tablet that’s ultra fast, super portable, boasts the very latest state of the art software and is the ideal app machine? Nexus 7 by ASUS could be your ideal tablet partner.
* 9.5 hours battery life tested playing 720p video, brightness at 100nits, external microphone, Wi-Fi turned on and logged in to Gmail.

Yeah, heard about this Tesco company once or twice before, I reckon they are the next big thing in retail.
Result!
also, can you download iplayer as the kids love watching stuff on there and thinking of when travelling would be good?
Someone mentioned "rooting", being a newbie to this sort of thing what does this mean and is it essential to use it?
thanks in advance

Actually in the tests I've seen the Nexus 7 is faster than the iPad 3 in the browsing department ;)
I would defiantly root for flash player though!
Like EatMould said, Paul O'Brien over at Modaco.com has made a nice "rom" to simplify the process:

Honestly rooting a Nexus device is easier than installing software / drivers on your PC. Just follow the instructions and you'll be done in 5mins!
As for the risks involved.. Actually I don't think I have EVER seen a newbie do any damage whatsoever to their phone / tablet. Moist people who "Brick" their phone / tablet are cocky idiots who don't bother reading instructions and try to root their HTC phone with a Samsung hack.. :|
Hmmmm.. If they are technology illiterate it maybe worth paying the extra for the iPad..
That said I got both my mother and grandmother using laggy old android phones years ago and both don't even know how to turn on a PC X)
A little bit of time, patience and set-up is required here. Infact installing the Windows Phone 7esk launcher is a huge help for older people who aren't constantly adding apps. (Big buttons with big icons and big text is the way to go. Simpler than the iPad :D)
Pure simplicity
