Best Buy has the black TF300T for $279. Ordered online last night, picked up this morning at 8am when they opened.
I have a Kindle Fire that I installed a new ROM on to make it an Android tablet, but I'm 60 years old and .... it was kinda small. I envied my wife's iPad for it's screen real estate. But didn't want an iPad. This, I think will do nicely.
Lol, welcome to the club. I have a feeling you're going to love your new tablet!

Yesterday i went to best buy and purchased 2 of these. 1 for me and 1 for my fiance. I was between this and the toshiba excite 10 and ultimatly chose the Asus because of the developer support for it. The Toshiba still hasn't been able to root yet so i didn't want to chance it. I wanted to find a device that would last me a while and would get Firmware upgrades via developers should the Asus decide to stop supporting it. Needless to say im loving it.
yay
Congratulations on the tablet. I went to Visions yesterday and got one for $278 and managed to charge it fully by noon and then drained it to less than 12% by early evening.
They charged me an environmental fee of 7.28 also + tax.
I'm pretty happy with it except for the proprietary charging connector.
I got the blue one.
Enjoy. Cant believe they have come down in price this much. I paid £400 ($650) less than a year ago
Put on CleanRom and you'll love it
I just ordered mine from Best Buy for $279 and the keyboard for $99. It was a steal.
I own a Nexus 7, so this will be interesting. Same processor though.

its not easy to root like my GS3.
Got mines the day after christmas too at best buy. They have an exclusive deal with the black model thats why it's so low. I was using an archos 80g9 until this and before that Nook tablet CM Team A, Acer A500(in decending order). This is easily the best of any tablet I've used let alone owned. I almost dont wanna use a custom rom cuz I don't wanna mess anything up lol. I love this thing though, cant wait to get the keyboard.
Hi!
For me it was a pretty well deal , purchased in august for 350E , and Keyboard for 110E !
Device is great in all respects :good:
- the price was expected to fall ,however the product worth all the money

Its actually pretty easy to flash recovery. As far as root, I just went ahead and flashed a custom ROM that was already rooted.
There are some great tutorials in here that explain step by step what needs to be done. I had recovery on mine with a custom ROM in about 10 or 15 minutes. That included all the reading . Lol.
Word from the wise, use TWRP instead of CWM.

Just got mine today from best buy $279 it rang up at $299 . I told the cashier and had to walk back to show here the 279 tag. she ended up taking the tag back to the register and saying that the offer was over but she would honor it because it was still marked as 279. Still waiting for it to fully charge. selling my nexus 7 and kindle fire tomorrow. hated not having a sd card slot.

Had a similar experience at bestbuy. I checked online the day before and it was listed at $279. Got to the store a day later and they said they were not aware of the tablet ever being priced at $279. They insisted that the price was always $299. Asked them to check the website, but that was changed to $299. I insisted that the price was listed at $279 for about a month and asked to speak to the manager, five minutes later the sales person came back a and said the manager would honor that price. Persistence pays off. So far I`m really loving this tablet, coming from a Galaxy Tab Plus 7

The TF300 is a fantastic tablet. After holding a couple of iPads you really appreciate its light weight, and after hacking away at a few onscreen keyboards you really appreciate the keyboard dock. I find I am liking mine more the longer I own it.
I got the same deal. Pretty sweet.
It's only 16gb, I guess, but I already have a 32gb SD for my phone anyway, so I can always transfer that to the tab if need be.
i got a blue 16gb on amazon for $195 after Christmas sale. i couldn't pass that deal up. then i got a black keyboard dock from bestbuy for $49.99 last week. loving this tablet and love that it cost the same as my nexus 7!

Saw the Viewsonic G Tablet on Slickdeals and went to WOOT. Bought. Went to XDA, looked around. Registered.
Really looking forward to rooting and hopefully having a decent tablet when I go to England in two weeks. Is that possible? Maybe, but I have a LOT to learn for sure.

Your order number 33067964 for 1 ViewSonic gTablet 10.1" Multi-touch Tablet has been received by Woot on 3/23/2011 and your credit card has been charged $310.28.

You ordered 1 ViewSonic gTablet 10.1” 16GB Multi-touch Tablet - Android 2.2, microSD, USB, 802.11n, Flash, DivX.
which each cost $279.99
for a subtotal of $279.99
plus tax + $25.29
plus shipping + $5.00
for a total of $310.28
Bought one too. Already have a Nook Color rooted 2-3 times, so rooting this one will be a small learning curve. Couldn't resist this price. Went by Office Depot on the way home from work just to look at one and test it. Decided the screen wasn't as poor as some have said. Sure, the viewing angles are bad. But I'll be the only one using it and sharing isn't an issue. Straight on viewing is really sharp. Bottom line, Tegra 2 processor, 10.1 inch, high resolution, 802.11n for $279.99 plus $5 shipping (no tax for me)! That's got to be one of the best deals of the year. Clerk at Office Depot told me they don't have them in stock because the company basically stopped selling them when the new model was announced. He said they would be getting the new one next month. Even so, they had their GTablet "on sale" for $379.99 plus tax!
Guilty too, just ordered a couple myself

Sorry, but woot's shipping is about 7-10 working days and my experience (just two states away) is on the high side of that. I wish they would introduce premium shipping for a few bucks, they would make a lot more money. That's ok, it will be worth the wait. Once you root, install CWM and load a good ROM - you will be glad you pulled the trigger.
Does England even have wi-fi? They sure don't seem to have dentists.

lol, I thought Steve should jump on this and restock his e-store
My G-Tablet had the horrible hissing audio problem so I took it back to my local staples for a refund. Amazingly enough they took it even though I bought it in November.
So what should I get next with my staples credit... They have the Moto Xoom, Blackberry Playbook, and will soon have the Dell Streak 7 and Acer Iconia Tab.
Buy my new in the box Gtab of course. #2 of 2 I got from woot.
I thought staples pulled these puppies months ago.
They did... I bought it 6 months ago
If you can Wait for the Samsung 10.1v
Ive had a play with it and its prob the perfect tablet ever.....
Size/Wieght/Screen/Design
Its really good.
Only bad thing is no USB or Sd card slot, it has the dock connector for those things.
I think the Asus Eeee Transformer with keyboard dock for $550 is pretty sweet.
I am leaning HARD toward the Iconia A500
I would love the Asus Transformer but Staples is not carrying it and they gave me store credit.
Currently leaning toward the Acer Iconia

There are a lot of stores that will take back products without receipt. I used to work at office depot about 6 years ago and we would take just about anything back without receipts. The catch is that you get store credit and that you get the lowest value for the product in the system. So if the device was on sale at some point you get the sale price in a refund.
I actually had the receipt... I was just surprised they took it back after their 14 day return period.
After Gtablet - you should get the Asus Transformer - Iconia is too heavy, too thick and their stock apps are not that useful.
I could see myself with Asus Transformer without rooting, nvflash, backup/flashing/re-flashing..etc.
Even though I will keep my Gtablet for the life of $100/2 year Accidental damage and good for my 3-year-old down to play games on it - anything happens to my Gtablet within 2 years even my daughter breaks it - I will get the brand new gtablet or equivalent!
Howver for myself, Asus Transformer will be my next Android tablet - looks so cool and almost no need to download anything else - such Polaris Office, stock widget, stock youtube widget, calendar onscreen rolling...etc and MyNet, unlimited cloudstorage - patience, patience and patience - Sept 1st will be good time to buy - at that time, the tablet maybe $349
And who knows 4 more months - XDA will have Gtablet ROM HoneyComb 3.0 ....
thx
I voted Playbook, but I've been following it since day one. Got the chance to mess around with it a bit at Office Max and fell in love. Seemed like such a durable, well-built device. Just hate how it loads web pages rather slowly :/

Just as title says. I'm looking to buy a tablet, preferably the S. I'm aware that the S is a fairly old tablet, but Sony hasn't announced anything new. Should I wait for a new model from Sony or get the S?
Sent from my LT15a using XDA
Sony S is a good piece of kit. Not sure about the "old" bit. It is less than a year old.
Wouldn't hold your breath on Sony making a new tablet though.
Don't bother it's a hunk of junk. you would be better off with asus transfomer prime.
Sony just upgraded S to ISC 4.0.3, so it is not old. I dout there will be new release soon. There is nothing missing from this, so just buy it. Works great for me.
Sony will be bringing s2 later tbis year with quad core processor, but I'm happy with mine.if you wee to wait then you have to wait and wait as technology is evolving at a fast pace you get new things every 6 months.so go for the s1 good machine

If you are buying new there are better tablets for the price.
Start at an Asus TF300 and go from there.
I was considering the transformer prime, or maybe wait for the infinity...
But the dilemma between that was performance vs. features. The tablet S has a few more features like IR blaster that really intrigued me.
The S is currently on sale for 329.99 for 16 GB. We'll see what happens I guess.
Sent from my LT15a using XDA
People must not forget the price diff on tablets. I would love a bmw x1 but cant efford it so i got a mazda 5 instead.
The prime is what, £499. Sony S is £299
Wait for the new one if you have the patience. It will probably be announced in a month or two. if you cant wait that long, the current S is not too shabby either. I still love mine. You might even get a good deal on ebay for a used model.
The transformer is not in the same price bracket, just so you know.
Woot had a killer deal on these last week. Brand new, 32GB with the cradle for $259 (plus $5 shipping). I got one for sure and can't wait to get it on Friday. It'll be replacing my HP Touchpad 32GB running Android 4.04. Too many issues with that beast although I love it dearly.

Yea I was on the fence for the Sony S, but that deal on Woot sealed it for me. Got mine yesterday and it is pretty nice. Do some price hunting. I agree, the retail price is high for a Tegra 2 tablet.
Also depends on your needs... if you do not really need cutting edge, HD screen, why pay for it.
I currently use the prime daily and i got my GF the nexus 7 for couch browsing and just to have the latest OTA's all the time. However after using it, I really am liking the portability of the size and the performance is so much fast than the prime. Just not sure if i would miss the larger screen.
Yeah, i plan on selling my Prime soon and getting a Nexus 7!
I switched--but I was having horrible problems with my prime. One nexus 7 for me. One nexus 7 for my wife.

Due to the reputation of the prime and the release of infinity, the price of the prime is below what I'd like to get out of my prime.

oh and im keeping both. No need to get rid of my prime since i have no issues with it. it works great

yea both sounds like a good idea.
gonna get the N7, use it for a week or two and wait to hear about JB on prime.. then sell one of the 2.
Anyone want to buy a spare Prime?
Traded in my 3G Vita on one Saturday. So far its been an absolute pleasure to own, exactly what I was expecting.
My Prime, not so much.
Sorry guys, but I see no need on having a tablet without a dock station like the asus transformer line. I mean, a tablet without USB OTG,SD and microSD card reader and mouse pad is just an expensive toy to sit in front of the TV and surf on internet while watching at it. I use my prime both at work and while at school instead of bringing a heavy, big, overheating laptop, not to mention the battery life in the prime is way better. I know , the N7 came with a very good price, and I will buy one as soon as they reach Swedish market, but as I said before, for me it will work just as a toy to surf in front of the TV, no way that it would replace the Prime.

I am on it right now and I have to say it just outperforms the prime. Idk if its jb or what but everything is just after on the n7
The N7 doesnt seem to have these strange lags caused by the internal memory speed.
Also it scores way better in the benchmarks...
good thing: it uses the same memory as the prime! on paper the same speed ...

I think what it boils down to is, get what you want period. If you love the prime and it works for you then keep it, want the infinity or 7 then get it.
Nothing is worse than having a tablet and not want it, or you are dissatisfied with it, for whatever reason. Flip side, nothing is better than having a device and really like it.
The prime really doesn't do it for me, I thought it would (it's still is the best looking tablet out bar none) but it just doesn't. In the end I treat it like a business decision, I thought it would be good and it tuned out for me different. Now I'm trying to sell it and move on.
I started using windows 8 and I knew my next tablet device would have it 8 on it. I like everything about it. I think it's the better OS for me and my situation. I could go on an on bashing Asus, but why? I've found what works best for me. But that's just me...
I owned a Galaxy Tab 7" and a PlayBook prior to getting the Prime, and I'm considering the Nexus, but I found the 7" tabs to be too small for web browsing. Personally, I think the Galaxy Tab 8.9" is the best size.
Plus, it's another ASUS product. (My Prime's currently RMA'd to fix the rear camera issue).
I wish HTC had built the Nexus 7. The Nexus One was the best.
I have had my prime since early January with the dock, and while I do love it (have it unlocked with CM10 preview on it), after I got my new laptop, I haven't used it nearly at all. After seeing the new promo video for the Note 10.1, i have to say that I'm impressed, even though it is sped up. As a college student with a laptop already, I'm thinking that the Note 10.1 would be more useful/productive. My question is, would you think anyone would trade a brand new Note 10.1 for a 6-month old, unlocked prime with dock? And would that be a good trade? Thanks.

I don't think anyone would do that trade unless they themselves got the note & wasn't happy with it. Your best bet would be to sell the prime & use that money toward a note...IMO.

The Note isn't even out yet. Why would someone buy it, just to trade it.
Also the Prime is plagued with issues.
What a question..
Trade a new tablet for an eight-month old tablet riddled with hardware issues?
You've got quite the sense of humor.
I was thinking more along the lines of the dock coming with it making it a sweeter deal.

Not a sweet deal to begin with. How would it make it sweeter?
Well, because the tab and dock were originally $650 and, even with the depreciated value of the tab, it is still quad core, unlocked, and has (most likely) double the memory, in addition to the dock coming with it, in exchange for a tab that is most likely going to be $500 or, if Samsung wants to compete with the cheaper tablets, maybe $450. That's why.

Ya might get a Note phone for that but Id go with the suggestion above and sell it and put the money towards the Note. I've got a LTE note with a tablet ROM on it and its great. I can do just about everything I can on my prime just ultra portable. Ya drop the DPI to 160 on the Note and its essentially a 5.3 inch tablet PC. just my opinion though

The Note 10.1 will probably be more then that. It is also a quad-core, and has double the RAM that the Prime has. Note 10.1 has higher specs that the Prime.
Most people who want a tablet don't care about the dock.
Also the Prime has issues with it, which is almost basic knowledge. Hell, try to even sell it on Kijiji and you'll get a million questions asking about wifi etc issues with the Prime.
I guess it would be a good deal, but the question is...
Who is the one getting the good deal?
You or the person you are trading with?
Definitely not a sweet deal. I've had a hard time trying to sell my locked factory spec prime with 1 dead pixel for $300-ish (no dock).

Their price tag is $749.50 for the note 10.1 -- which may or may not be a good representation of the price when the rest of the retailers start selling it.

The real price should be announced at the Samsung conference on Aug 15th in NY.
Did you get it at Best Buy? If so, take it back under the manufacturer's warranty due to the wifi/gps issues and get a gift card towards the Note 10.1 when it comes out.
Otherwise, yeah....sell it and use the money towards the Note. I don't think anybody's gonna make that trade.
