Damn... if only I could of waited a few more weeks.
Many thanks for this thread. I was ready to go to Best Buy today. Checked my local Costco and they had 18 of the 32gb. Came with a case and the mini-HDMI to regular HDMI connector. Don't know if the 16gb comes with those things, but 32gb for $479 was a great deal.
Loving the tablet so far. I'll start messing with it in a few days.
Thanks again!
oooh I think I'll buy this one and return the one from Best Buy!
Wow what a deal

Sure wish be had a costco near by...
Oh Yeah!!! I ended up buying one 32GB. Came with Mini-HDMI and Acer's case ($39.99 value) for $479.99. It was a GREAT GREAT deal!!!!
Beware... I believe the 32gb version does NOT have a GPS.... although the GPS doesn't work on many of the 16 gb versions anyway....
gps ok
I purchased one of these at Costco today.. It does have a GPS, and it worked--unlike the 16 gb version where the GPS did not work...
What are you guys talking about? The 32 gig DOES have GPS and does work.
It's just abit not that 'advanced' hopefully Acer will fix this soon, but if you download a couple of free GPS programs at Market you can try and you'll see that works.
I cought 12 different satellites in my livingroom.
But the GPS in general does need improvement.
All the best

2 posts--this being one of them--and this is what you spew?
Hmmm...
mine is 32gb and have gps
That sounds like a great deal on the 32GB version. Not sure why people suggest the GPS doesn't work correctly. I have the 16GB version and don't have any issue with using it. Of course I actually download apps that utilize it and do something more than holding the unit up to the sky looking for a magic satellite, so maybe that's the difference
Thank you very much for this information. I just returned my 16GB to Target and I bought the 32GB from Costco. Great deal. Thanks.

I just found out that this 32GB has the initial version 3.01. I am unable to update it to the new release version 1.14 which has corporate exchange mail and fixed several problems.
Every time I check for update, I get a message that my device is up-to-date. Did any of Costco 32GB users have this problem? Thanks.
Just picked one up from Costco, and returning my 16gb to bestbuy.
Will say, perhaps it was manufactured later? But the Costco one seems to be less problematic than my 16gb from bestbuy.
Hasn't randomly rebooted once.... wifi stays connected.... no shutdowns when charging and on standby.

Yes. It costs you $50 plus tax a year.
Find some that have a membership there. That's what I did. Me and my boss...with her fine as$ going after work today. I took back my 16gb I got from Best Buy today.
Just wanted to share costco.com is selling the 16 for 429 and the 32 for 499. They have a 90 day return policy so if a better tablet comes out, take yours back and buy the better one.

Best buy has 8gb version on sale for only $279 right now. The black Friday sale ends Saturday though. They should have plenty in stock as this is not a popular tablet. I'm seriously considering getting one since they sold out of the 16gb Asus Transformer for only $249. I'm doing my research now comparing the two. The Thrive has the full size ports going for it. I am concerned about the battery life and if this thrive has IPS screen like transformer. From the demo version at best buy, it didn't look like the screen was looking as good as the Transformer although same screen resolution. Also heard this thrive doesn't have gorilla glass. What can you owners tell me if any of this Is true or not. I'd rather have more storage but not an issue since this tkes full size SD cards.
BuyDig has the 03GB for $300

This is how I bought mine... I ordered on Thursday and recieved by SATURDAY. Fantastic deal.
Just an update, they are no longer honoring that price unfortunately.
You would think with a quad core tablet now shipping, that the dual cores would start coming down in price.
This is true. Which is why I went to ebay and got mine.

I just got a brand new Ideapad K1 for $250 from staples. On black friday, I picked up a bunch of refurb HTC flyers for $160 but I returned those for refurb Nook Colors for $120. Best Buy had new Acer Iconias for $189 during black friday. These tablets are coming way down, helped by the HP firesale and all of the new tablets. When the quad-core tablets start dropping, you won't be able to find a dual core tablet above $300. Except Apple, of course, they'll prolly try to keep the iPad a couple hundred more than Android so you think you're getting a "premium" product.
DailySteals.com got this
Motorola XOOM 10.1" 32GB WiFi+3G GSM Unlocked
for only $299.99 + $4.99 Shipping.
Not a Bad Deal at all but...
Only Catch is ITS REFURBISHED UNIT
And 90 Days Warranty
Personally I recommend buying Used Product over Refurbished
Thnx.
Refurbished is not a big problem but you should remember that Xoom has the most bad display. That's the reason I didn't keep it. I have used Xoom, galaxy tab 10.1 , thrive, transformer. Xoom display was simply outdated. But even then this price is still very much attractive for a wifi+3g.

Well thnx for the update,
I have Asus TF-101 since day one,
Never liked XOOM and its original Price
thnx.
Not a homerun, but still a good deal. Sales is on ebay through 1 sale a day.
