Over here in the United Kingdom and want to get your hands on a reasonably affordable 7-inch Android tablet in time for Christmas? Well then you might like to consider the Vodafone Smart Tab II, which the carrier has now officially announced and made available to purchase.

The Vodafone Smart Tab II is built by Lenovo and sports a 7-inch 1240 x 600 touch screen along with a 1GHz processor, 4GB internal memory and microSD expansion up to 32GB, a 2 megapixel rear facing camera and a 0.3 megapixel front facing snapper, Bluetooth and DLNA, whilst Facebook and Twitter apps are pre-installed.

The Android tablet is 11.5mm in thickness, is both 3G and WiFi enabled and runs the Android Ice Cream Sandwich operating system.
