After a Tablet at a great price?

[Wedgie]

Just a headsup. Until 5pm Monday the Good Guys have Acer Iconia Tabs at crazy prices. Ive just looked them up and theyre cheaper than whats on Ebay.

32gb A500 $299
32gb A501 $399

16gb even cheaper.

They use the latest Android version (3.2 Honeycomb) and will probably get an update to 4.0 next year.

Trying to think of a reason I could use a Tablet for but unfortunately cant think of one but its a great deal for anyone in the market for one.

LOL, and that's the only problem!

I thought tablets and top end mobile phones were not functional unless you to carry a handbag to transport them in.
They certainly don't fit in shirt pockets in summer when you are not wearing a jacket..

Aside from the kids using it for painting programs, games, web browsing etc, ours is the controller we use over Wi-Fi as a jukebox through the stereo in the lounge to play through the outside speakers.

I'm struggling for any more uses than that, at this stage.

Thats a lot for a tablet, I could get an pound for that...

the good guys seem to be doing some crazy prices this year. Have seen that they do apple products under RRP wonder how long they will keep that license for.

Probably a dumb question..lol.

Can you put office 2010 or similar onto a tablet?

There are apps which are "like" office... but really tablets are not a laptop replacement. They fill the void between mobiles and laptops.

That being said, you can buy bluetooth keyboards and I have one on my Acer Iconia A500 and have used it with word docs and excel spreadsheets.

Hope the Samsung tablet that Apple had banned from sale in Australia is available soon. That one looks the goods.

Apple didn't ban it, the courts did. Doubt it will be resolved anytime soon.

Apple's court action. Better?

Yup.

You can still grey import it however.

Just bought one of these on e-bay. $225

Just to give me a toy to keep up with technology.

It's harder than I thought. Never had a smart phone be4.

Can sit in wifi hotspots throughout adelaide.

Can't seem to log onto a gmail account to get the thing going...?
