How about best holiday story?

Does anyone have an opinion on the new Dell Venue 7 tablet?
The Amazon reviews are positive, if not outstanding. Keep in mind that a LOT of 7" tablets, many of which are better than the Dell, are gonna be part of BF sales.
-
Yeah, pretty uninspiring. I will say that the deal on Apple TV is the kind of thing we're gonna see this year: There'll be virtually no flexibility on prices, so the value of the deal will depend on what's bundled with it.

The ads that have been posted already have two Samsung Galaxy 10-inch tablets for $299.

It's simply a disincentive to dissuade customers from NOT having Amazon Prime. At the same time, they offer a number of benefits besides the shipping to encourage people to go Prime (they now have a Kindle Lending Library, where Prime members can read books without having to buy them).

What non iPad tablet that does not have to have wifi (data plan) is best? My daughters would like one to take to their college classes, but I'm not up to speed on this stuff
I have an iPad that I love, but not having a flash player does suck.Thank you

What price range are you looking at?

Maybe Fry's or someplace like that.

For those intrested, if you are looking at the Microsoft Surface you can get 10% off at Microsoft stores or online if you have a school id or an email acct that ends in edu
Does that include the Pro? And the first generation as well, or only the 2-series models?
-
Yeah, looks like the deal I posted is for Class 4 cards. That's fine with me, though. The tablet I've bought (hurry up and get the damn thing shipped already, youse guys) has 32Gb, which should store all my apps with no problem; I'm planning to use the MicroSD card to load media, like music and comics.
-
On a tangential note: I was shopping around for MicroSD cards (I suspect my kitten has "disappeared" my 32Gb card) online, as well as perusing last year's BF ads. What I found was that MicroCenter has, both in-store and online, 32Gb MicroSD cards (not generics, either) for $15.99 (to put it in perspective, that's how much my first 1Gb thumb drive cost in 2007); that's better than any BF specials from last year. Now, MAYBE there'll be lower prices on Black Friday, but if so, it won't be by much; I wouldn't strain myself too much trying to hunt down those deals.
-
I think I'll cool my heels and see what Black Friday/Cyber Monday have to offer. I'm hoping that, with Fire HDX models having rolled out, the prices on the Fire HD models will continue to head downward.
-
Yeah, since we're now suddenly in the market for a Kindle Fire (for the in-laws), I was hoping to land one of those deals. Dang.

That's why you don't go cheap when you buy a cane. Mine is stronger than a human skull.

So whats the thoughts on a 32" TV? My mom wants one and I wouldn't be against getting another one. I've seen a couple sub $200 deals, so would $120 be dreaming too much?
Not necessarily. I got my partner a 1080p 39" LCD set for $269 last year (and I think it was a Cyber Monday deal). So, hope springs eternal.
-
Also, keep in mind that "LED" is a misnomer. These are not sets that use OLED like some smartphones currently use (that would look fantastic, but isn't feasible cost-wise just yet); what they ARE are LCD TVs that use LEDs as the light source. Now, this does have some advantages: Brighter picture, and much longer life. However, LCD-lit sets suffer from the same motion-blur problems that regular LCD sets do.
Unless you're putting the TV somewhere where there's NO ability whatsoever to control the ambient lighting in the room, I still advocate strongly for getting a plasma set.

iPad2 hasn't changed.... and neither has the price. The iPad Air is replacing the previous generation which is no longer in production. iPad Mini now includes the retina display and improved camera.
Target was advertising the outgoing 16GB iPad for $50 off its original price here in AZ a week ago. Apple more than likely has ceased production on it so you may see some retailers offering deals to get rid of remaining stock. But Apple isn't known for allowing its retailers to continue selling older models once the new ones are released.
Yeah. If you can find 'em before they get pulled, the non-retina display models are probably gonna be available for some half-decent discounts.

My daughter age 10 has a kindle fire hd.....now she wants an ipad.....is it worth getting for her,,,,I am not a tech person...what will she be able to do with ipad that she cannt with kindle? I hate to spend the money if she cannt do more on it...or should I get her that windows one I see ads for on tv. Thanks for advice
At age 10? Can she tell you specifically what she wants an iPad for that the Fire can't do (and an iPad definitely does have greater capabilities; I'm just not sure how useful they are to a ten-year-old)? I mean, the Fire can play games, do moderate web surfing, watch videos, and, of course, it's excellent for reading. I don't know your daughter, obviously, but I have a sneaking suspicion she's suffering from a case of the "gotta have its."

Dangit. I'm REALLY considering pulling the trigger on this:
ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity 10.1" Super IPS Multi-Touch Display 32GB w/ Android 4.0 & Tegra 3 Quad-Core CPU!
I've had fantastic luck with ASUS refurbs (for example, the desktop I'm writing this on right now), and the reviews on Amazon are pretty darn strong. The resolution is also a cut above for this price range. My only issue is: What if I buy this, and there's a better price on Black Friday? Could anyone with experience shopping for tablets on BF offer some insight?EDIT: Welp, for better or worse, I pulled the trigger. Now to hunt for accessories. -
My daughter that is 20 wants a tablet with a keyboard. Anyone got any suggestions or know of an awesome deal?
Luckily, Bluetooth keyboards come in all types of quality and price, so you've got your pick. That leaves you free to focus on the tablet. For a twenty-year-old, I'd get one as versatile as possible.

People are upset because they're babies. Just get Prime and stop crying (if you're a student, you can get a free year of Prime, followed by half-price membership every year you're still in school after that).

I was visiting the in-laws in Alabama last Thanksgiving, so I did the lion's share of my BF shopping online, primarily at Amazon (with a smattering of Bestbuy.com thrown in). Now, I DID make the ten-mile trek to the nearest BB store Friday morning, and since I wasn't really going for any of the big-ticket items, I pretty much got what I wanted (primarily, a Harmony remote for my in-laws).

Watch out for your toes!

With the introduction of the iPad Air and the new iPad mini yesterday, I'm hoping the prices (new and refurb) of the iPad 2 and 3 go down. My son has an iPad in his classroom (each student does) and I want to get him one to mimic the one he has at school so he can work on things at home. I've been watching sales now trying to find a good deal, and while I've seen some prices that have been "impressive," I'm hesitant to bite the bullet because I'm hoping for better deals now that the new versions will be around in November.
According to our roommate Sean (The Cellphone Whisperer), the new iPad models mean the previous ones are gonna go down in price a whopping $20. If you're holding out for an iPad, I'd suggest waiting till BF or Cyber Monday, and look for the best bundle, as that's gonna be how retailers distinguish themselves.
