Commander, you said you’d like to rule a galaxy. You never specified size or shape.

Yeah, a search of microcenter doesn't even return that they sell the thing

@eidelbus: Does that allow use of the cheaper tablet-only data plans?
when I search for Nexus 7 3G or 4G, all I get is rumors that it's coming in October....or something.

People have reported getting 3G dongles to work with the Nexus 7. In theory a decent Android device can do that, if you have a port.

@eidelbus: A cable? Not interested.
What I would like, though is some G. 3 would work, but 4 would be preferable.
Of course, this deal doesn't have it either.

@eidelbus: Indeed, the Nexus 7 can use flash drives (or any external drive for that matter). The case I bought for mine is: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008D2POAS/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i01 and it included an OTG cable and a screen protector.

This seems a little high priced to me for a refurb, in light of the brand-new competition. Unless the rear camera and microSD slot are a must, $10 more gets a higher-res screen (1280x800 was my own threshold before getting a 7" tablet). More processing power might not matter for most people.

Side note: the Nexus 7 can use flash drives (like the tiny ones 1/4 the size of the plug) with the right USB OTG adapter. And mine, bought at the end of July, so far hasn't had any problems.

I was recently deciding between the Nexus 7 and the Galaxy tab 2. I ended up going with the Samsung because it seemed like the Nexus had some kinks that should be worked out first (screen separating from unit, touchscreen becoming unresponsive, etc...) I bought the galaxy and have had it for a couple weeks now and I love it.

I bought a refurbed Galaxy about a year ago - have had great luck with it. Does everything I want it to do and hasn't konked out on me in any way.

Tempted, but after my $1,400 Samsung LCD crapped out after two years due to a known issue, I can't justify buying anything from Samsung. They claimed they had no knowledge of the issue until they settled in court.

@timthetortoise:
I own a Nexus 7. I agree that it is a nice tab. I ordered the Galaxy Tab 2 for one reason, because of the rear facing camera missing on the Nexus 7. I don't use the front facing but a rear facing would be great when surveying jobs etc.

At that price, go with a Nexus 7. Less crapware, and much quicker updates straight from Google. Plus more power. Only thing the Nexus 7 doesn't give is a MicroSD slot, which could be a big dealbreaker for some. For me, it hasn't made a difference personally.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
