I feel like you really want a capacitive screen rather than resistive(Not entirely sure what you meant there actually) I don't have a lot of experience with android tablets. I have a kindle fire and it works well for what I use it for.

I listen to a lot of tech podcasts and it seems like no Android tablets are that great yet. At least when compared to the iPad. Google is supposedly releasing a "Vanilla" Android tablet sometime this year And that's what I'm thinking about currently.

It's sad that there's no great Android tablet yet. We can keep hoping though.

Look for an HP Touch Pad and root it and throw Android on it. Bingo, good Android tablet.

No resistive screens. Get at least dual core at 1GHz. At least 512MB of RAM. At least 8GB of flash. A microSD is required.

Must come with at least Gingerbread (2.34 or higher). Honeycomb (3.1 or higher) is better. Ice Cream Sandwich (4.x) is still on the horizon for most things, but an official upgrade path to it is a good thing.

I'm fairly happy with my Acer Iconia and the Nook Tablet isn't bad if you don't need a camera or GPS.

Definetely go with a capacitive screen tablet. I agree that you need at least 8GB memory and a fast processor of at least 1.0GHZ or more. Also make sure it has a good graphics processor for smooth video playback. My personal favorite is the new Patriot from KIZTEK for only $159.99. Its better than the Amazon Fire with its front web cam (able to make video skype calls) and has more apps, games, music, and content available through the google play market. Also it features the latest Android 4.0 operating system, Ice Cream Sandwich. So no need to worry about making sure it is upgradeable.

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.
