I'm looking for a tablet under $300
was thinking about buying kindle fire, nook tablet, or htc view.
but just saw touchpad @amazon priced $290.
how is touchpad compare to those devices i mentioned above.
Is it a still a good buy?
First of all..the other device mentioned are all 7 inch screens. What are you looking to do? I would say the touchpad hands down...but then again I have a touchpad so I'm biased

I personally don't think 7" is a large enough screen for tablets. The ipad is 9.7" and so is the touchpad (at a fraction of the cost). Phones are nearing the 5" mark for screens so a 7" tablet will probably feel more like a big phone then a tablet.
touchpad for sure. I just bought a 32 gb for 200. There are still deals, you just have to be quick and watch ebay close.
I wouldn't get a Touchpad. The plastic crackers near the speakers, and it's thick. If you were to spend $300, you could probably just get an older Transformer, or a Samsung 8.9?

Yeah I guess the customization and performance under 300$ means nothing when choosing a touchpad/sarcasm/.
Get real! The two products you mentioned are no match! HPtouchpad is the HD2 tablet version. You can run virtually every OS on it.

The Touchpad Definitly!
I got a 32Gb Touchpad for Christmas for $295 and got my wife a 32Gb Xoom for $484. My Touchpad with WebOs is the better tablet in my eyes. Yes, the Xoom is alittle lighter and a nice tablet in its own right. I would not want to trade tablets with her.
Hey guys. I bought my Prime mid February (C1O serial) and my Wi-Fi is great, obviously GPS is non existent, but I do have the dongle.
Even though I have no problems with my Prime, thanks to a custom ROM/kernel, I'm considering selling. It's mint condition, with the dock. Now I could just start at just below $600 as the asking price, but who would know better than the owners themselves?
What do you think is a good price for the Prime with dock, 10` hdmi cable, and 16GB SD card? The cable was only 3 bucks online, and the sd I got for free, so I won't charge extra for them, just use them to sweeten the deal. I live in Chicago if that really matters.
Any input is appreciated, also suggestions on what to buy (besides the Infinity obviously)

No, I won't lie
But I will just say it it's out of warranty, I don't have to say that I'm the one who made it that way
Seriously if it's a techie that buys it I'll explain. But when buying used electronics on the internet, the last thing I'm worried about is warranty

Sorry, but $600 for a used device with no warranty is too high. I just bought mine new last week from Amazon.com. For the 32gb prime + dock + Sandisk 32gb MicroSD + case for a total of $639 including over night shipping. And with Amazon, if I don't like it or just change my mind, I can send it back where you can't do that when buying from an individual.
Amazon is also selling used ones for $415 for the device + $98 for the dock = $513 total with free shipping. Once again, buying from Amazon, the buyer could return it which I assume you could not offer. So, you would have to beat Amazon's price in order to make it worthwhile. I'd say no more than about $400 including shipping.
Sorry for the bad news - but that's how it goes with electronics. At $400 it would have retained its value amazingly well all things considered.
I was just on Ebay last night checking completed listings for the Prime. Saw that just the tablet alone was selling for about 350-400. Tablet with dock, orig box etc 450-500. Tablet, dock, dongle and/or case sleeve protector accessories i saw 500-550.
looked like the prime is still holding a decent resale price.
It was also amazing how many being sold do not have the GPS dongle.
just don't sell it to best buy... they will pay $110-$120 for it (shows you haw many returns they had)
but...its too bad you never got a square trade warranty with it. I would say reasonable is $375 - $430. obviously if it has a screen protector, perfect condition, etc it'll go for more. just sell it before tf700 comes out because then it will really drop in resell price

Wow..I didn't know that about the used ones on Amazon
As for asking $600, I just meant to start high, so the buyer can negotiate. I know I'm not getting 6.
But see, that's exactly why I posted here. I've bought and sold about 10 devices on Craigslist, and I do reasonably well...so it's not like I need help. But I wanted to get input from you guys, because everyone is selling high on there, and it seems too much to me, and I don't want to be just another overpriced used Prime for sale.
Thanks for the info ratman...appreciate it:good:

Wow lol. That's like selling PS3 games to GameStop You buy a $60 dollar game from them new, and they offer you like $9 for it 2 weeks later. Then you see it being sold used for $50. Haha.
I did consider ST just so that I could destroy it myself come September/October when something else came out. Send it to them smashed and water logged so they'd send me $500. Too late now
$300-$350 and it will move. The price will rapidly drop in the coming months so I suggest you move it now.
You have to consider the fact that even though this tablet is stellar, you have to have a techie brain to use it to its ability, with the Wifi/GPS/browser issues and all. Not to mention, you have the 300 already out and the Infinity swirling with rumors to be released soon.

Ouch, $300-$350 would sting
That's almost half price. But I know what you're sayin.
It's not so much how much I get for it, knowing what it costed me, but more about getting enough to cover my next device. Even though I've got $650+ into it, if my next device costs $375, I'd be glad to sell it for $375. IDK...the only thing out that slightly interests me is the 10" Acer Iconia A700, but it's not shipping till this weekend so no real hands-on reviews yet.
And of course, the Asus/Google tab
So many choices, so little $$$
According to current eBay auctions, the going price for a used Prime tops out at around $400.

I sold my Acer A500 and then bought the Prime. I didn't get nearly what I paid for it (I think I sold it for $250), but when I established the price, it was gone by the end of the week. People can find the tablet for cheap if they really need to. If you want to move it, then drop it a touch lower than everything else on the internet and stand behind your product. Works every time for me.
I've just decided to sell my HP TM2. I bought it for $1050. I want to sell it for $800. I'm going to sell it for $650-$700. It will move.
I previously had a Neuxs 7 (dropped and broke it), but do to the size of the N3 there's no point in getting a 7 or 8 inch tablet. I just bought the Sony Xperia Tablet from Best Buy, but now it almost seems like a waste of money because the N3 can do almost everything except be used as an ebook reader for me.
Are there are any cheap tablet alternatives out there that people could recommend?
Also is the Note 10.1 worth the price?
ipad of course

I picked up the new Note 10.1 yesterday. Awesome tablet.
Has all the same functions as Note 3, of course. Super thin and light, and the screen is AMAZING. The 32 GB version costs exactly the same as the 32GB iPad, which is what I'm switching from. Plus you get expandable storage.
To me, it's well worth the money.
I'm just still having a hard time finding a good case for it. Will probably get a sleeve until Samsung gets its crap together and mass-releases the Book Cover.
Samsung blows at accessories. Simply terrible.
