They put that display up at a local Target here last week. I didn't think anything of it, but it is a god find.

I love how more store or picking up these tablets I saw a couple dudes looking at them and 1 bought one

wow I'm glad Target takes honeycomb tables more seriously, I bought mine at staples when I went into the store they didn't have the iconia A500 on display and the xoom wasn't even working wouldn't turn on. ( I know how to turn it on)

Target was actually the retailer responsible for Amazon US supply of the Transformer. I think they have shown a real interest in selling people these tablets, which will hopefully expand the community even more.

I don't see any exclusion for ipads. It only mentions the Nook, Kindle, and HP TouchPad in the mini-writing.

Thats a pretty good deal, I bought my GT10.1 at the wrong time

I dont think staples carries Ipads.
Ugh, I know the deals will be equally good at Xmas when my wife plans to get me one, but I want one.
I called all the stores and NONE of them have a Transformer, and they said they wouldn't have them for a month... bunch of BS, because this coupon will be expired then...
i wanted the asus transformer but staples does not carry them in store... so i tried to get best buy and frys to accept the coupon and they declined.

Well let's see - you can't get the iPad, Transformer, Nook, Kindle, or Touchpad with this. So what can you get? Talk about a bait and switch tactic, on the part of Staples...

Do they have the new tab 10.1?

Im trying to get the Acer Iconia Tablet, there seems to be some great devs over there...
And so far, all the Staples are out of stock till wednesday around the Portland, OR, area. And Office depot said they would price match, but then they said they are all out of stock except for the floor models which they dont sell, and he said the same thing about the other stores in the area. Yeah right...
I'm going to keep trying....

I had one store actually refuse to honor the coupon. However, one not far away had the acer in stock. Ended up costing me 324 after tax. Not a bad deal.
I'm having trouble myself finding the transformer in stock. They all have xooms though

From what I know, in my area, they don't even carry the Transformer till sometime next month...
I plan on waiting till next week with this coupon and getting it when they have them in stock... At least the coupon has some time...
I might even pay at a kiosk in-store, where they would honor the coupon, and have them ship it to me for free when they do have it. That was one of the options that was given to me.
I'm pretty set on getting one...
Try Office Depot. While it appears that Office Depot Corporate sent out a memo today or late yesterday in regards to honoring this coupon only for the Blackberry Playbook, Thrive, and Iconia, some people have reported still being able to get a Transformer. *Note: Before the memo, plenty were able to score this deal on the Transformer (and some on the Xoom and Galaxy 10.1).
Since the Iconia and Transformer are the same price, couldn't you technically use the coupon on the Iconia and exchange it at a later date for the Transformer?

No it's not applicable to Nook and HP. it also in store only.
too bad they don't carry any 7" android tablets.. the 10" are too big for my uses.. and the woman wouldn't be happy with a 10" either.. The BB Playbook isn't even a viable option as far as I'm concerned...

Sell HP touch pad, buy transformer?

Well, I'm sure I will get some pretty biased responses, but I am looking for a true android device, don't want to spend a ton, so I was thinking of selling my HP touchpad for a transformer!! What do you think? Thoughts? Really want to keep the cost in the 3-350 range...

Check out the transformer 300. Right now ice cream sandwich has been unstable in the tf101 for some ppl including me.

i have a hp touchpad and also have a transformer. Since purchasing the transformer, i don't use the touchpad (with android) at all and actually gave it to my 5 year old. i have had a few lockups, but nothing too major and never while i'm using it. i'm sure it will get sorted out relatively soon. also i frequently see WTB ads on my local craigslist wanting 16gb touchpads for ~$200 and i also frequently see ads selling transformers with dock for $250-$350. So, if you sell your tp you should be able to get into a transformer for no more than $150 out of pocket if the market where you live is similar to mine.

Returned laggy tf300t for replacement and got a 32G from Best Buy

I decided to return my TPad for a replacement. It was way too laggy and others were not having the issue. Best Buy replaced it no problem and I was able to get a 32G that had just arrived. I had to pay the extra $20 but that was OK with me.
I am happy to report that the new Pad does not have the lag issues. I am unhappy to report that it has a reboot problem. [Rebooted at least 6 or 7 times since yesterday]. I have done one reset and I restored apps from Titanium. I had 1 reboot since. If it happens again I will restore once more and not restore my apps via Titanium. If it still reboots I will try another replacement. Still it is very good to know that the lag issue was the individual tablet and not something present in all of them. It gives me hope.
If anyone has another recommendation for the reboots let me know.

I'd like to be able to set the performance to MAX on boot rather than the middle setting and having to keep increasing it to play HD videos.

I am in the U.S. When I was returning the 16G version I asked if they had the 32G. The girl checked her computer and said no. When they brought the replacement it was the 32G. She thought they must have come in that day.
Aww sheeet I'm about to book it to best buy then and go through every tablet they got for one. They had their 201 docks labeled as the 300 docks. So disorganized.

i picked up my tf300t from bestbuy and they told me it was a 16gb version but when i got home it was the 32gb version. I'm in the us by the way.

I just went to my best buy here in Bend, Oregon and picked up a 32gb tf300t. I called on maybe thursday last week and the person I talked to didnt even know when they would be getting it in. Went in today and looked through all the tf300's looking for the 32gb and found one. It looked like they had a few more but there was no price tag saying they had 32gb's for sale. Strange.
Either way I exchanged my 16gb tf300 for the 32gb and paid $20. Now im happy,
In other news it doesnt seem to be finding the latest firmware update, still on .17

Trading my xoom for 320gb ps3 today

The Galaxy S3 will fill my android void on the 21st.
Xoom will become redundant anyway once I get it.
It's been fun. later guys
Um... Thanks for the update?
Pointless thread. No need to show off.

I give it two weeks before you are trying to get another tablet. The void that is created by getting rid of a tablet can only be filled by another tablet. And what happens when Project Glass comes out? You may as well go for that $99 Xbox promo and keep the Xoom.

Selling Acer a500.. but for how much?

Im trying to sell my a500 which is rooted and is in great condition. I have a cover for it that has three different settings for standing it up which also covers the screen. There is nothing wrong with the tablet and im not trying to sell it here unless i actually found a buyer but i was wondering what do you guys think would be a good price? Ive had it since january 2012 and its running 4.03. The only reason im selling it is i want to get the asus transformer tf300

Oddly enough, I was looking to do the same and get the Nexus 7 tab. Just doing a Google shop search on the a500, I see refurbished ones starting at $250. I was thinking of selling mine, just like yours (perfect shape etc), to friends for ~$250.
That sounds pretty reasonable.. thanks

IMHO, getting another Android tablet same size with different brand, I don't see any benefit to it. Have you gone to the store and try the Asus TF300? I went to Bestbuy (store in USA) and tried it out but didn't notice any much different.
I just want to sell it while it still has its value and thats actually a good idea to go to best buy.. did you see any that you liked better than the a500?
