Where are Tablets on sale for Black Friday?

Nov 10, 2011 4:45 PM

There seems to be a dearth of tablets on sale for Black Friday based on the ad previews I've seen so far. I'm really hoping to pick up a 10" Android tablet that runs ICS, or at least Honeycomb for now for but will be upgraded to ICS soon.

I like the features of the Toshiba Thrive, but I hear they're going to launch a 7" tab soon plus come out with a new version of the 10" - thinner but with fewer port options. Motorola Xoom could work, but I definitely want 16gb, or 32gb if I can afford it. Even an HP Touchpad might be fun, but I'm not going to spend over $200 on one of those.

Please share if you know of any Black Friday (or Cyber Monday, or?) sales for Tablets. Thanks!

You might want to look at a kindle fire.

@xoom999: Thanks for the tip, but between the Kindle Fire and the Nook Color I'd rather the latter since it takes a microSD card. But both are 7", and while they can be hacked to Android 2.2, it's my understanding that since they're technically e-readers, that neither will get Honeycomb or ICS.

I've heard HTC is launching a ChromeOS tablet on Black Friday. Not sure what exactly you're looking for in a tab but for me i like the idea of something closer to a computer OS in the form and with the touchscreen of a tablet. Can't find a ton of details yet.

Don't mind me. I'm just over here laughing over someone with "xoom" in his username recommending a Kindle Fire.

This is amazing! HSN has the 16gb Toshiba Thrive for $329 this weekend. Their warranty isn't a bad price either (3yrs $39 vs. 2yrs $55 w/Square Trade). Pulled the trigger - yay!

@apocello42: Appreciate the tip - went with the Toshiba Thrive. I can load all my Google and Amazon apps on it, it has a replaceable battery, and I love all the ports.

Staples is having the Iconia Tab A500 for $300 and the Toshiba Thrive for $350. Best Buy is going to have the Dell Streak on sale on the 24th on their website, they haven't said the price yet, but I'm sure they'll be other tablets.

@maddenman2000: Thanks - checked out the Staples ad at BFAds.net. They're selling the 16gb Toshiba Thrive for $350 on Black Friday, so the deal I got at HSN.com for $330 is still a bit better - and available now through Sunday.

I am really looking for one too. I am moving to Japan at the end of the month and was hoping to get one before I leave but I haven't seen any good deals yet. Both my hp touchpad orders got canceled and I am not about to pay over $200 for a touchpad when I can get an Acer Iconia with a USB port, mini hdmi, and a micro SD slot that can add 32 GB of storage for $100 more.

Try checking out KIZTEK's new E-Journeyman tablet PC. They are running a $289.99 holiday special now through Nov 20th. You get the 10" tablet pc, Leather case and Keyboard, Stylus, 8GB SD memory card, and free shipping all for that price. I have personally seen the tablet and all I can say is that is is amazing. Its extremely responsive, has awesome graphics processing, and handles 3D games extremely well. Great for many other things as well. I love the unit myself. You can check it out for yourself at http://www.kiztek.com/specials

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.
