Nice catch aasoror.... Docks are becoming more and more difficult to get lately. Even if purchasing in bulk if make sure they are physically in stock. Nothing worse than trying to order subverting only to find out your waiting even longer!

Merimobiles.com has the dock for 45 shipped. I got mine in two weeks and it works great.

i have read nothing but good about this site, fast shipping, reasonable prices. and i hear if you become a member, you receive a code in a newsletter for 10% off your purchase. the only thing i see that you havent bought for accessories is a usb portable hd. =-) i use a 1 TB WD usb HD. works flawlessly.
2.3 Upgrade from Viewsonic support [With Jailbreak]
I know this probably a moot point on a ROM loader site, but I just bought a jailbreak and 2.3 upgrade for my G Tablet, which leaves the warranty intact. It is coming from their 3rd party support company, U.S. Merchants.
They helped me through some problems with Tap-n-Crap. In fact, this jailbreak also removes any constraints on where I can shop. Bye-Bye Amazon and Handango, [I could never get Handango to work]
The ROM upgrade cost $90, but at least the warranty is still good. Maybe when it is out, I will be more adventurous. btw, they were selling the dock for $49.
Regards,
Sre
Would you mind posting a little more info as to the 'jailbreak' you received?
For example, when you go to settings and tablet info what does it say?
If be interested to know if they've cooked their own ROM (which they shouldn't have charged you for) our of the they've sold someone elses?
I'm guessing others would like to know as well.
Thanks for letting us know about this....
Intriguing.

I don' know anything about Roms but I would like to know a little more about that jailbreak thingy too. Like where does one order that stuff from too.

[DISCUSSION] Should I buy a Touchpad?

Well i find it Super intereting to modify and loading android onto the touch pad, but i have a asus TF, Works great, Love it.. but wondering would it be worth the hassle just to have a new toy to play with (mearly jut that reason)
i think a Bestbuy 40miles away may have a new shippment in today. but debating weather to go and buy 3 (me, mother,step dad) what your thoughts about this?
I think a better question is, can you find a Touchpad to buy? If you get one, you will definately be happy with the purchase. And if not, there are plenty of us out here that will be more than willing to take it off your hands.
Sent from my EverVolV Eris using XDA App
sounds good i would say yes and they is plenty of people who would take it off your hands
You should definitely buy at the PRICE at least for the hardware
yea i know the hardware veiw point im like "what for $99!!" but currently waiting to find as rumor has it.. new sale is bound to happen soon, ( as i read from many forum posts) but i think if i do I will buy it.. but i wont be heart broken if i dont...
Don't forget that if you get a TouchPad, you can also register for 50GB free storage at Box.net (you have to do it via the app on the TouchPad). Depending on what your storage habits and needs are, that might be worth taking into account.
I would say you should not buy it just so I have a better chance of getting another
Why do you need another tablet? That'd be my consideration.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
IF you can find one, buy it. Worst case someone will buy it from you if you don't like it.
Also I think Best Buy will limit you to one per customer, at least that's what one employee said his store was going to do.
well thismorning the local bb got a shipment and it was gone before i got there at 10am. Didnt think people of brownsville knew... :| but i think ill give up. Causeyeaidont need another tab, but wanted touse and play with it, moding hacking..etc. , i ill only by if i stumple on a online sale, but i now wont go out my way to buy one, good luck to all on getting a touchpad

one for development/hacking, one for useage. i assumed that would be obvious
I didn't see any reason not to buy it. If you can find one the are practically giving them away. I have a Xoom and love it but I can never have too many toys. Got one at Aarons rents yesterday.
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium
The process I went through to figure out if a TP was really a good buy was to figure out what exactly I needed it for. I just can't justify spending $400-600 on a tablet that's not going to fill an integral part of my technology needs, but $100-200 (depending on size/shipping/etc) is a reasonable amount for me, even if Android never gets ported to it.
The UI is attractive, and there are enough games and apps that I could let my 3 year old play with it while supervised and it wouldn't be the end of the world if something happened to it.
While your situation is likely different, hopefully there is a bit of insight into my personal decision making process in deciding if a TP was a good value or not.
Of course you should buy it...then flip it for 2-3x the price. Then put that money towards an iPad. Then jailbreak and hack to your heart's content and/or develop apps for a viable market.
Then sell the iPad for near full retail right before the next iteration drops and either buy the newest version or three Nook Colors for your family members.

lamest advice ever
especially when there's people out there that honestly want this device to use or to develop with. this is xda, not slickdeals.

Try reading his question more carefully

He wants to tinker around on android but he already has a transformer and you think his mother and step dad want to develop on a dead platform?
How are they going to use it? Browse the web one tab at a time? Read e-books with the broken app? Play movies on the gimped player? My guess is you don't actually have one.
My advise is not only solid but it's based on experience with all of the devices in question. But perhaps his parents are xda members
well i know they wont develop on this, i had mentioned to them its a tablet and if they wanted one they can get one (if found) for $100, i told her to look at youtube reviews about the TP, she liked and wanted one.. i wasnt one to mod, toy, develop, and since its not bad hardware. and i dont want to turn around and sell for $250 as i have seen on Craigslist.
we mainly want one due to the firesale Price of $99, but i am unablet to find one so i dont think i will get one. i am no noob when it comes to electronics and software. i wouldnt get a ios device since i dont like the feel of ios, nor apple software. android is nice love it, webos, havent really had enough time to play with it but seemed to be promising if HP let it grow more.nook color is a nice toy, but not really my flavor, now i think ill retire my TF (for modding)when TF2 comes out (Kal-El) platform, so yea

Yeah...so he should go buy a real tablet at full price and not screw people that want to actually develop for the touchpad...
Amazon is coming out with what will probably be a cheaper android tablet soon
To the OP: I hope you find what you are looking for though from your previous comment above. You seemed to thought things through at least
Pending on buying.. worth it?
The only reason why I'm even considering buying this is because I saw that android will be able to hopefully run on this and id like to see honeycomb as well as ubuntu on this and the price has become cheaper. I know you all here have it so i was wondering your personal opinions on the device.

Hannspad or HP Touchpad?
Hello!
Lately I have been looking at the Hannspad, but since the kernel hasn't been released I assume that the custom roms aren't as good as they could be (or am I wrong?).
So I was looking at the HP Touchpad instead, which has very nice specs (better than Hannspad? 1GB Ram & 1.2GHz snap, 10 point touch! Better price) and Android development for it is slowly starting for it, 2.3.5 is working and I hope they'll get it functional soon!
So what are your thoughts? Should I look at the Touchpad and see how development goes over the next three weeks or get the Hannspad ?
I'll buy in the beginning of next month, and I'd like to have a somewhat functional tablet, so what are your thoughts? Will the HP ever get ported so good, that it'll work 100%? How about hardware accel.
Thank you <3

[Q] Buying a used prime

Hey guys I'm thinking about picking up a used TF prime and dock locally via Craigslist. With all the problems/revisions people keep throwing around on this forum...I'm a little hesitant about buying a 2nd hand unit.
However, I'm assuming all the Prime's out there are still under the factory (1 year?) warranty so I should be able to RMA it should problems arrive, but I'd like to avoid this all together.
So, with the collective knowledge being so abundant around here - please throw out some things I should be on the lookout for when I meet the seller in person!

I would obviously look for cosmetic defects, then turn it on and run through it. If he says he forgot to change it and can't turn it on for you, forget about it. Worst case scenario is the software is flakey, but that can be fixed by flashing one of the awesome custom ROMs here
PRO TIP: Ask for the Primes receipt, and if it's under 90 days old, you can purchase a Square Trade insurance policy for it. If you've never heard of ST, look into it. That way you're covered for 2 years, no matter what. Good luck and keep us posted on what happens

Unless your getting it for $400, I personally wouldn't buy it unless its
1) Excellent physical condition
2) Has a receipt
3) Has all original packaging
I only say this because of the primes bugs. I had returned mine twice before getting a fully functional model with a single dead pixel. I would say run the browser through some heavy paces and see if it crashes. Also run a high graphic, power intensive game w/ some background programs running to see if it freezes or reboots. Check the edges of the screendurring the bootup to see if there's any major light bleed. Lastly, download the dead pixel test & GPS test to be sure both are okay.
You can probably use a couple of common dead pixels and non functioning GPS to haggle the seller down a little.Yes they are common issues, but explain that if you purchased it from a retailer you could return it, but you can't return this model.
All in all, without original packaging & a receipt, the extra cash is well spent for the security of warranty and return policy. As stated in another comment, w/ receipt and less than 90 days old, square trade is like $100 for two years, and then a $99 deductible, but it even covers lost or stolen.
Good luck, and be cautious!
Thanks for the feedback guys!
I Thought it over some more and I might as well pony up the difference for a new one. Now, does anyone have experience with Gamestop? Specifically exchanges due to defect etc. They're the only retailer in my area with inventory.

I'm planning to sell my prime, when the infinity comes lol. But then again my father might want it, so might give him the prime and take back the galaxy tab i gave him a while ago and sell that. I always keep all the packaging and original receipt. But to be honest with all the problems the prime is having saving a 100$ isn't really ideal, unless you find a really good unit.

you know sony will buy it back from u as well or give u credit as they are so much lower and they are giving all the acessories as well trying to clean up stock before their new tablet release you might consider that. then you could get perhaps a device you would use i personally love mine even with the issues

How did you know that please?
