Official Black Friday TABLET Discussion Thread

What is everyone's thoughts on getting the walmart deal on the nabi 2 online? Do you think it will be possible? I have gotten lucky in the past getting lots of black friday ad items online at the same time the sale opens in the stores, but there is never a guarantee.

Not sure. It is a Thurs 8pm item. Check Amazon to see if they match it. I got a lot of things on Amazon last year. Hopefully they have everything I want from Best Buy.

I need to get one of these as well. I usually start at TRU so I won't be there in time for the Nabi 2. I am hoping that I can get it online at a comparable price.

Cant make up my mind. For a 11 year old girl. Kindle fire HD or a Samsung Galaxy 2? Camera is a must!!! Please help!

Samsung Galaxy 2 the phone? If it's the phone, I would go for it because she's going to need a cell phone very soon! And she can download the kindle app on it too:)

I believe they are talking about the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2. Some stores will have it for $179 on Black Friday and it is a pretty sweet tablet..or so I hear. :)

I personally think they both are great choices for an 11 year old. I want the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 myself. Just because I am familiar with the Samsung Galaxy family ( I have had the phones and the players). BB will have it for the $179.99 price and you get a $20 gift card. The Kindle Fire will be $159 or $199 (depending on model chosen) and they both come with a $30 gift card. Its the everyday price for the Kindle but you get that gift card to play with.

I posted Best Buy ads just because I had them up and I wanted to show the exclusive white Galaxy that they have. The Samsung Galaxy and the Kindle for $199 both have cameras. The $159 Kindle does not.

My 12 yr old wants a tablet that is the 10" (she wants a larger screen). She isn't obviously going to do tons of tech savvy stuff with it so don't need to pay tons for it. Which one of the bigger screened tablets advertised so far is a good deal? I really don't understand specs on electronics too well! She will play music, surf net, watch movies, etc. Basic stuff. thanks for any help

Elena....Try using this link:

These are the comparison charts. At the top scroll through the menu for tablets and you can see the differences in tablets. I have the Samsung Galaxy2 10.1" 16GB. I like it, but I have a few problems as well. I feel it's too big. Not weight wise, just that the 10.1" is rather large. Granted, I have not used a 7" or any others, so I can't really compare. I also have not figured out how to get it off landscape mode. So I can't hold it upright to do anything. I have to hold it sideways. If that makes sense :) It is fast, I have no problems browsing the internet or using FB. I cannot play some FB games like FarmVille, but I have a laptop and a cell phone to do that. You Tube videos play fine. It has front facing speakers, so the sound doesn't get muffled if it's sitting in your lap or leaning against something. I haven't had it very long, so I'm still playing with it, but it seems pretty good.

Help please from the tablet experts. Can the Kindle Fire os handle Minecraft? I like this tablet a lot but need a tablet that my son can play Minecraft on. I'm thinking the current Kindle Fire will be sufficient, don't think he'll need a camera (I hope).

It was the Kindle Fire for $159, when you put it in your cart it went down to $128. Could be sold out like PP said. I ordered two to pick up but haven't got my pick up email yet. I wouldn't be surprised if my order is cancelled. That's always my luck. Lol

It's in the app store.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent

I have a kindle fire and it works flawless so I really do not understand all these negative reviews that it doesn't. Free some space or check your payment method, or email amazon and they will help you figure it out, much like they helped me with an app.

Anyone have any experience with this brand case for a Kindle Fire?

 

http://www.amazon.com/rooCASE-Dual-View-Magenta-Genuine-Compatible/dp/B005QBK61Q/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1352513711&sr=8-5&keywords=kindle+fire+accessories

 

I'm trying to see how much accessories would run me if I were to pick these up for my kids.

 

Any other accessories I should look at? I know I'd need to pick up the charger when I ordered the Kindle Fire.

 

Thanks.

I'm getting a case and a screen protector. They don't need much more.

Ebay had their daily deals up on the homepage. There is a 10" tablet that looks good for my 12 yr old. Can anyone take a gander and let me know? My son age 17 says its too slow, but for the price wasn't sure. I don't want to pay over $200. Don't care its an off brand.

I haven't used this brand, but I really like the CaseCrown cases which are also from Amazon :)

The specs seem ok but the Amazon reviews are bad for this device. Doesn't sound like a good item to buy.

You don't need to buy the charger, the usb cable that comes with it will charge it. The charger is an unneccessary expense. Most all phone chargers will charge it also. I have 9 total chargers in my house that charge mine. THe roo case is okay. I bought a marewarefolio case. IT was 12.0-0

Please help..... Walmart.com has both both an HKC 7 inch tablet for $99 and a Mach Trio 7 inch Stealth for $ 89. Which one is best based on the specs, app system etc??

As for cheap tablets, Cnet said the only ones they recommend are Pandititals, so I bought 3 for my grandkids. My own kids have kindle fires. I had bought a Coby tablet and come to find out although it had 2 gb, only 40 mb was for apps. You have to watch that stuff. The rest of it was for books only.
