In a way this almost seems to make sense. If Tesco are going to sell a tablet in store then it may as well be one they can preload with software that makes them more money, either through video rentals or food delivery. There's a part of me that wonders how many they're likely to sell at that price point, since it doesn't really feel like an impulse buy, however my local Sainsbury had 42" TVs prominently displayed as you walked in the other day, so presumably there are people who pop out for a bottle of milk and then come home with a TV.
