I need help in the differences in tablets?

There are so many tablets out there nowadays. I just want a simple, fast, easy to use (non resistive) tablet that can run off android. Camera is preferable, and a USB hub is a must.

A friend of mine recommended going with Xoom, but I have hardly any clue on which tablets to get. I would prefer a tablet with a 10'' screen, and my price range is right around $250. Any help?

There are only four 10" tablets that I know of that have usb straight out of the box: Sony SGPT111US/S, Motorola Xoom, Acer Iconia Tab A500, and Toshiba Thrive. Cheapest of the bunch being the Toshiba Thrive ($340 on Amazon), mainly due to its 8GB of storage. Also, the dock for the Asus Transformer has USB ports if you dont mind having that attached when using the USB.

If you are willing to wait in line on Black Friday at Best Buy they're going to have an Asus Transformer and Toshiba Thrive on sale that'll be in your price range ($250 and $280).

Any of these tablets will do you fine, I have heard decent reviews on all of them. If price is a main factor to you, I would be scouting deals.woot and Amazon for tablet sales this week.

Thanks a lot! I've got my eye on a Iconia a500 refurb. I usually stay away from them, but the reviews are pretty good!

You've been a lot of help thanks!

@shanklove: The Acer is good, but thick & relatively, heavy. It has full size USB, micro USB, & micro HDMI:

That said, I would get one if I din't get a 32GB HP TP.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

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.
