Have you thought of looking on eBay? After all there's likely to be far more people selling their devices on there than there will be on a forum dedicated to those who by definition, wish to keep their Iconias.

Agree that eBay would be the place to look for what they're selling for... but why not have both? I have a Razr and an a500 and both get a lot of use... and with the 4G on my phone, I use that for wifi tethering and it works great. There's times where the bulk of a tablet is not inconvenient and I carry just my phone, and there's time where the large real estate of the 10.1" screen is a plus and I use the tablet.
Bottom line, I get a lot of use out of each.

I agree. My Iconia has given me great use. But now it ha become a dust collector in its box. I rather pass it onto someone who can use it more

You may could sell it for $300 to $350 Im looking to sell mines for $250 (8gb) with case and sd card... if I may where on here could post mines for sale?

Post to the marketplace. But beware, check all before posting

Tablet Opinions ($300 or less)

I've really been looking around for a tablet. I don't want to spend any more than $300. I would like a tablet that has good dev support but is also a nice device. I don't care if I have to buy it off of ebay for me to get it in my price range. I like 7" and 10" preferably with a dual core. Any suggestions?
Edit: I would also like for it to most likely be able to run honeycomb in the future. Official or not.
The Acer Iconia A100 just came out with an MSRP of $329, I'm sure it will get a lot of attention by the development community.
At that price, the nook color is probably you're best bet.
I personally am a netbook user.

It's getting pretty mediocre reviews so far.
+1 at the price mentioned, nookCOLOR running CM7
Normally I would agree with the NC, but only if trying to spend around $200. For $129 more (new vs recert), you get:
Dual core 1Ghz processor (vs NC single 800Mhz)
Mini-HDMI
Honeycomb 3.2
1GB RAM vs 512MB
Front and rear camera
Is the Nook Color rooted with CM7 worth buying? Or is it better to pony up a little more for one of the more robust tablets?

Depends on what you want to do with it.
You can browse the web, play games like Angry Birds, watch Netflix, listen to Pandora or Google Music, read epub books...
I recommend buying recertified to get the most value. I bought mine from Overstock and you could not tell it was not new. $199 shipped. Ebay has them for $180 shipped.
Nook Color with CM7 is your best bet if you can live without Bluetooth. (Well technically there is an on board bluetooth chip that has been enabled in CM7 but without an antenna it's range is about 2 inches
No cameras....but the only time I have heard of a camera being used on a tablet it was a punchline in a comics joke.
Bottom line, Nook Color is the best $200 I ever spent. Only missing piece for me is bluetooth.
What about the gtab. Do you think its a good buy if I can get one for 240 with a dock?

Asus Transformer hands down. Laptop dock, SD card slot, HDMI out, honeycomb, front and rear camera. Beautiful tablet and dirt cheap at 299
Edit: can't find it for that prize anymore but it's worth the extra 50 at Amazon or target

For that price, he'd be better of going to staples.com using the 100$ rebate off tablets, then get a toshiba thrive for 329 [after 100$ off] for the 8gb model, then just use a bigger sd card, along with all the full ports.
Asus is 16gb

Toshiba Thrive 10.1 - $260

http://1saleaday.com/
Toshiba Thrive is only $259.99 today (2-29-12) with $5 shipping.
Thinking about jumping on this.

Just saw this elsewhere, and wondering too whether I should get it. I was originally looking at some 7" tablet but the full-size ports and removable battery are nice. And yeah, there are better tablets out/coming, but they also cost more and either require proprietary connectors or don't have full-size ones.
Thinking about it too but will hold off. It's a shame it's only for one day. Waiting to see if anything Comes up about the Asus memo 370t from mwc later in the week. Also there doesn't seem to be a lot of dev for the thrive.

Well, considering the number one brand my company repairs daily is Toshiba. I don't believe it to be a very reliable item. Very cheap though.
Also, sale ended. :/

To sell something on XDA they recommend you do so in the market thread. You will also get much more exposure.
I to agree its much to high Acer market has them for 349.00.
I do wish you good luck.
$400 for the tablet and accessories does sound to high too me considering if some buy one at 350 and good case will cost at least 50 and the sdcard and stylus would be an easy 30 to 40. But I will take your words and put them to use and also post in the MP.

I decided to sell my Iconia. After a long debate and trial and error I found out it is hard for me to use it for school. I need something with a stylus that write like a pen not a fat crayon. I have a Truss leather folio case, 4gb micro sdcard, and a Griffin stylus. If you or anyone else want to know more please comment below. Also I will be added photos within the week. I'm setting the opening price at $400.00 USD.

Perhaps to drive more people to the Google Play store in hopes of being able to upsell the buyer on media purchases, extended warranty, and accessories that may otherwise not be available at retail stores.
To make people who want to buy it on the day buy the more expensive model.

Better profit margin is my bet.Same reason they only had the 16gb N7 at retail stores and sold the 8gb through the playstore.I doubt if there is much money to be made on the cheaper units. jmo
Because that's the only one I'll buy

Yeah better profit in the 32GB one, cos the cost of the extra 16GB is pence to google but $100 (£80) to us, that means there's quite a bit of profit to get from it.
Even tho google pays under ten dollars per 16gb added.

The fact that there is no expandable memory really makes me want to flying crotch punch the designers of this thing in that aspect. I mean really no SD card slot? That is a pure crappy greedy money grabbing asshole thing to do on their part. Only saving grace is you can probably just use a usb stick or external drive to put all your media on but that is kind of crappy when a tablet is suppossed to be mobile and quick. Might as well get a laptop if you're going to be toting around external drives and junk.
I bet it's the profit margin on the 16g. Wallyworld wants to make some coin when they sell that n10. Googly is I like sure we can cut you in but only on the 32GB. If the cost to produce the unit is 350 and their selling it for 399 they can't cut wallyworld in without taking a shot to the groin. Think about the box it's in and the shipping to get the unit from where ever to where ever that all costs coin. But who knows what's really going on this is just my conspiracy theory.

I also wish it had an SD card, but life is not fair
Walmart is trollin
The price of this annoys me for the storage at 16gb. and the fact there is no 64gb option. with a super high resolution display, HD pictures and videos and optimized apps take up a lot more space. 16gb isn't enough 32 is barely enough. Such a high spec device needs a 64gb option,google really makes some silly decisions.

And remember it's not going to be 16 or 32 but more like 13 & 29gb. I'm going to wait it out and not rush out to the store like I did for my 249 really 269 n7 that is now 199... My N7 is depreciating faster than a new car being driven off the lot.

I agree that not having a slot is FUBAR, but you need to remember Google's emphasis on cloud services, and that the Nexus devices are designed to promote those. It's not an optimal solution, buy you can pick up an OTG cable for $2 and a 32G micro flash drive for ~$20. Keep big media files (e.g., movie rips) on the flash drive. It'll work well enough.
Well Apple doesn't offer expansion slots either on their devices and no one has an issue with it. There are external HDD that pair via WiFi (Kingston) and of course dongles you an use storage as well. No they are not great alternatives but they are alternatives none the less. I would rather have microSDHC or 64GB from Google but I would rather live with 32GB and sell my iPad more (which I just posted on eBay, 4 months old and saying see ya).
I know about the expansion cables and whatnot... i just would rather have a SD card slot and not have to worry about a dongle hanging off. And what about those of us who travel all over the place and can't get cloud services overseas when not on wifi? Thanks alot Google... asshats... Makes me want to buy an Infinity if I didn't keep hearing about the OS issues.
I'm the same way. I don't necessarily want to fully depends on cloud services. The nexus 10 should have a lot more storage space and the nexus 7 should have had a 64GB option right off the bat.
I'm also disappointed at the lack of a SD card slot. When I'm at the gym, am I supposed to bring a USB drive and dongle in with me? Might as well just bring in my desktop computer and set up shop.

At a place like Walmart, I would think they would want to push the cheaper model, and save the expensive one for online and actual electronic stores.

TF300T $279.99 at Best Buy this Black Friday

Is this tab a good deal for $279? Its the 16gb version norm price is $379. I just wanna make sure everything works well. Any problems with this tab? I have the Lenovo Ideapad K1 and the biggest problem I have with it, is its has horrible WiFi signal and I haven't seen any WiFi issues with this tab. But I did notice that this tab doesn't have gorilla glass. So I also want to make sure the glass doesn't get to scratched easily and that its sensitive enough.
Thanks, Dev

Good luck actually getting one, but I think it sounds like a good deal. Remember this does have expandable memory, so really internal storage isn't a huge problem. I had the transformer prime for a while, loved it, but couldn't justify the expense so I returned it. This thing is the exact same device with a plastic back and slightly lower res screen If this sale is going on cyber Monday too I'm certainly snagging one.

It sounds like a good deal to me. I'd run with it. I have the 32 GB version, with another 32 GB micro SD card. I paid $297 for mine on the no tax weekend at Micro Center in St. Louis. These were on clearance. I've had 4 tablets already, the Acer Iconia 500, the iPad 2, the Galaxy Tab 2, and this one. I've enjoyed this one more than all the others.
Today, a boss of mine, that I see once a year, came in, and noticed he had an iPad with him. I really wanted to say to him, "So, you got a pretentious hunk of junk, huh?" But I figured that would hurt his feelings.

Same here...sure would like the link so could pick it up at Bestbuy and not hassle with Black Friday crowds! Like the $299 OfficeDepot price for the 32GB but w/sd card don't think I need the add'l 16GB. Other than production apps that can't use SD storage, any major benefit for getting the 32Gb model?
Also (and new thread likely best, but...) this'll be my first tablet. Mostly for multimedia, browsing, e-books, & general game playing - considering Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 too. Though Galaxy might(?) have a better multimedia experience (not so much into the Galaxy's "extra" GUI), but TF300T seems to have better multimedia & overall performance. Am I losing much if any on graphics & sound in going for the better performance? Sorry, I know it's been discussed some elsewhere, but need some additional thoughts to help me know I'm not making the wrong choice!

My advice is to make sure you can return it just in case you're not happy with it. I/O issue plagues most of current Asus pads so in the end, lower price may not justify the frustration. Again you might be ok with it but just in case.

Good point - just checked with Office Depot and they do give 14 days to return it for a full refund. So that shouldn't be a problem...
As for the I/O issue, how prevalent is it? I did a quick search and did find some references. This has me greatly concerned and if it's that big problem of a problem, then about only alternative is the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1. But being a dual core, was worried it'd be noticeably slow in running apps, browsing/viewing multimedia, etc. Did like some aspects of the Galaxy, but was really leaning towards the TF300T.
Just came across one XDA thread from August discussing ASUS working on fixing this and the OTA 4.0.4 greatly helped the benchmarks. Is it possible a new kernel or update has corrected the issues at this point? Another in September mentioned using a custom ROM...I plan on rooting it, though just as with my EVO3D thought I'd stay with the stock rooted ROM. I'd figure this an option to help correct the problem if I do encounter it (and if necessary, run a different ROM)?
Lastly, how difficult is it to root?
Thanks much for the insights!!
Can you get the Black version only at BB? I would love to get that one but online for $279..

I noticed on the Office Depot Black Friday ad that they have the TF300T 32Gb for $299.99 (advertised as blue so may not be the black you want). Some items are available for sale online tomorrow - Update: turns out have to go to the store on Friday morning to get this deal. I know it's an extra $20 and quite possibly blue, but still a good deal...
And yes, after reading more I feel less wary of the i/o issue. Some had encountered it, others not and seemed that OTA updates (possibly moving from ICS to Jelly Bean) helped. Plus rooting and running a custom ROM is another option or worst case, bring it back...
Looks like another round of learning regarding unlocking the bootloader and rooting. Was reading a bit about being able to do OTA updates if rooted (but not unlocked), and restoring root after. Seems to me on my EVO3D doing OTA's after unlocking & rooting weren't recommended, and that may be the case here too? I do have to go back and do more reading on these topics!
