Hello All,
Two solid deals on Android tablets for today. Woot is selling the Toshiba Thrive 16GB tablet for $294.99 shipped to your door. This is a very solid tablet that has GPS, HDMI out, USB, and a SD card reader all built in to the unit. For icing on the cake, this tablet will be upgraded to Android 4, which is built for tablets.
You can find this here.
If you want to buy something new, the Lenovo IdeaPad K1 32GB is on sale at both Staples and Office Depot for $299.99. In my searches it seems that this tablet will also get updated to Android 4, but there is no official word from Lenovo.
You can find this here.

Deal of the Day #2 - 12/8/11
Hello All,
On Sunday night, December 11th, at 6pm central time. HP will be selling refurbished TouchPads for $99 for the 16GB and $149 for the 32GB. They will be doing this only from their ebay store, and only accept PayPal as a payment method. There is a limit of two per person and the units will have a 90 day warranty. HP will also be selling a $79 bundle including a case, Touchstone dock, and wireless keyboard. The dock allows you to charge the TouchPad wirelessly, you simply need to place it on the stand.
We scored one of the 32GB originally when they hit $149. It was DOA when we got it and it took about six weeks to get it back from HP. It is good for the money, but a first generation iPad is more responsive. If you look at it like a giant iPod Touch, then it is a good deal. For music playback, photo viewing, and light web browsing it works great. Lastly, there is an effort to port Andriod 4 to the TouchPad. If they get that working then you will have a very solid Andriod tablet for $99 or $149, and that is a great deal.

Hello All,
Today only, Sellout.woot is selling refurbished Roku N1000 boxes for $44.99, shipped to your door. These are similar to the AppleTV, but less money and with more content. We have one and we love the HBO Go channel, and the Amazon streaming channel. The units also have a lot of the big and popular channels such as NetFlix, Pandora, YouTube, and Hulu Plus.
You can find this deal here.
If you are leery of the fact that is the prior generation technology, you can get the current, second generation, hardware for $49.99. You can find that here. The one advantage the refurbished unit has over the new unit is an ethernet port. The XS 2, on sale for $90, is a also a worth while upgrade. It gives you a USB port so you can play anything on a USB stick on the Roku.
One other issue to note. If you are running your own DNS as we are, the unit will likely fail to connect when you fire it up. After I changed the dhcp server to use external DNS servers the unit worked great. I am sure there is a way to fix this issue but I have not looked into it.

Hello All,
First off, Happy Birthday Mom! Now on to the deals. Tiger Direct managed to land some of the suddenly hot HP Touchpad's and will be selling them this afternoon. They are selling the 32Gb model with a bunch of accessories for $280. You can find this deal here.
I was able to snag one of these initially for $150 when they were first on clearance. It is not as good as an iPad, and anyone who paid full price, $500, for this over an iPad was a sucker, but for less than $300 it is a worthy addition and works well. You can overclock it, you can install android on it, and WebOS is a decent OS. Overall the web browser and the email client are not as good as the iPad and that is where it falls down. Couple that with the tiny app store compared to the iPad and it is pretty clear why the TouchPad failed. As a media player, flash player, photo viewer, and basic web browsing it works well and it has decent battery life.
The sale starts at 1:30 central time today, and I expect them to be sold out at about 2pm. Good luck.

First off, Happy Birthday Joey T. I do not think you follow my little piece of the interwebz, since you hoard money and spending it makes you feel ill, but Happy Birthday anyway. Now back to your regularly scheduled broadcasting. Sellout.woot is selling a refurbished Keurig Elite coffee maker for $74.99 shipped to your door.
I am not an adult, so I do not drink coffee, but I hear these things are better than sliced bread and this is a great price for one. I know of a few people that have them and universally they all love them, and paid more than this for them. For reference this unit is $129.99 brand new and you can find refillable cups here which are both cheaper, and better for the environment.

This is an odd one. Amazon.uk is selling Band of Brothers and The Pacific in a boxed set of region free Blu-ray disks, for about $55 shipped to your door in America. This is odd because the same set in the American Amazon site is over $130 dollars. These are both pre-orders, the disks are not coming out until November, but the good news is that if the price goes down, or the exchange rate goes down, the cost is even less.

This is not strictly a technology deal, but the technology in the units is amazing and works great, so I will let this in. Today only, woot is selling a refurbished Dyson DC14 for $184.99 shipped to your door. This is the cheapest price for a Dyson I have ever seen. We have a version of this vacuum, the pets version, that is seven years old and still going strong. I will buy another Dyson if ours ever fails. I really cannot recommend Dyson vacuum enough. You can use any other vacuum, then vacuum over the same spot with the Dyson and you will pick up more dirt. It is pretty crazy how well they work. I know a handful of people who have purchased refurbished Dyson vacuums and they are all very pleased with the purchases.

PC Rush is selling a brand new Canon imageCLASS LBP-6000 Laser Printer for $60, with free shipping. It connects via USB to your computer, but with the purchase of a $40 print server you can add this to your network and have it available to print from anywhere. I recommend this for most people as usually the ink dries up before most people run out of ink. We have an older HP and it is great to have it on the network and ready to go all of the time.
You can find this here, use code Woot, to get the discounted price.

Hello All,
Zagg is offering their awesome protection screens for 50% off, today only. Actually they are offering 50% off everything storewide, but the screens are the only thing I have any experience with, and I cannot recommend them enough. While on vacation in California I dropped my poor Canon G9 out of my pocket onto the asphalt. It landed square on the screen, which was covered with a Zagg Screen Shield. The G9 walked away with a small crack in the very corner of the screen, but otherwise everything else was fine. I am sure if I did not have the Zagg on my camera I would have a G9 with a broken LCD screen and be out a couple hundred dollars to get the screen replaced.
They sell protection screens for just about anything that has an LCD. I have them on all of our cameras, and on our old iPhones. I have them for our new iPhones but have not gotten around to putting them on yet. You need to leave the device unpowered for 12 to 24 hours which is hard for me with my iPhone.
You can find the sale here.
Happy Memorial Day Everyone,
John

You can find it at Best Buy here. I would suggest you act quickly, as I would bet this sells out. Amazon is currently selling the same camera for $190, but they should price match eventually.

- 2.7" LCD screen - 230,000 pixels
- 4x zoom
- 720p HD Video recording
- mini HDMI out
- Image Stabilization
- Wink Detection - Wink your eye to make it snap a picture
- Face Detection - For focusing on faces, or setting a timer that will not go off until it detects a face in the scene.
- Miniature Effect
- Fish-Eye Effect
We own this camera and are very happy with it. As a warning it is very small, so if you have large hands I would suggest you check it out in a store before pulling the trigger on a purchase. Lastly, the SD1300IS is a better picture taking camera, but the SD1400IS has more features, and adds the 720p HD video mode. If you plan to print large pictures from this camera, get the 1300IS. If you want something for snapshots and maybe up to 5x7 along with videos, get this camera.

Hello All,
Apple has announced the iPad 2, debuting March 11th, and has started selling the original iPad, refurbished, from their store for $349.00. This is $150 off the original price, and $50 off the new, lowered price, of the first model. If you want an iPad this is the way to go. If you buy refurbished from Apple you get a full one year warranty, and it looks new, the only difference is that the packaging is a plain brown box, not the pretty box the iPad usually comes in.
The only reason not to buy one of these refurbished iPads is because you want a new iPad 2. Here is a quick run down of the changes to the new iPad 2.
You can find all the refurbished iPads here.
One last thing that I am thinking of doing, is trying a Color Nook out as my iPad like device. Here is why

The only reason not to buy one of these refurbished iPads is because you want a new iPad 2. Here is a quick run down of the changes to the new iPad 2.
- Faster processor - 2 A5 chips, the original iPad has one
- Dual cameras for FaceTime and recording video and snapping pictures
- Slimmer and lighter, with a better shape and new back cover material
I had an iPad for my old job and had to turn it back in. Surprisingly I do not miss it as much as I thought I would. It is cool, but for me it was only really a reading device (blogs, Facebook, email, web) and a music player. I do not like the touch keyboard so I would not do any really work on it. It was great as a game machine as well, but I did not use it for that very often. Do not misunderstand me, I think the iPad is a great idea, and I used mine daily, it is just not completely there yet. Maybe the new processor will make it more versatile, but for most people I imagine a decent Netbook would be more useful to them, and save them some green. One last rumor floating around out there, to make you think twice about the iPad 2. Rumor has it that the iPad 3 will be out this fall, in time for Christmas. It will have the same incredible display on the iPhone 4, just in the larger size. That would really be something. Comparing the iPhone 3GS to the 4's screen is like bringing a picture into focus, it is that big of a change. That would be a worth while upgrade, and worth waiting for, but as I said it is just a rumor.
One last thing that I am thinking of doing, is trying a Color Nook out as my iPad like device. Here is why
- It is only $250 - brand new
- It is easily hackable to make it into an Android tablet
- You can use microSD cards to increase the storage capacity
The downsides to this plan are
- The nook is only a 7" screen vs a 9.7" on the iPad
- The battery life is not as good as the iPad
- The processor is not as fast as the iPad
- The Android marketplace is not as developed as the App Store
The real question is $250 and the downsides a better deal than $350 with known quantities. This I have not yet determined.

- A 2.7" LCD, with live view
- A 12.4 Megapixel sensor
- It will capture 720p HD video
- It shoots 4.7 shots per second
A neutral point in my mind is it uses AA batteries. On the plus side you can get rechargeable batteries and you can find regular batteries anywhere. The negative for me is that you waste space in the battery compartment on air and size when a custom battery would be smaller and last longer. Other people put more weight on having AA batteries, if this is you then this is the camera for you.

Hello All,
Canon is selling their factory refurbished Canon EOS XSi 12.2-Megapixel Digital SLR Camera in Black with the Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens, for $499.99 plus shipping and tax. If you use code the price drops to $349.99 and you a free camera bag. You can also score free shipping if you enter code FGSHIP.
This is a highly rated camera with a 3" LCD, 3.5 shots per second burst, live view, and DIGIC III image processing. You can find reviews here, here, and here.
There is a full 90-day warranty from Canon on all the refurbished cameras they sell. I purchased a G9 that was refurbished from Canon. It works great to this day, and I could not tell it was refurbished outside of the box it came in; It was not as nice as the retail boxes, but who really cares about that. Act fast if you want this deal, it will probably be sold out by tomorrow.
Find this camera here.

Hello All,
Happy New Year! It has been a while since I last posted, but it is good to be back. The deals business seems to be picking up again so there should be more posts to follow. Today's post is about a video game, Uncharted II Game of the Year Edition. I loved the first game and strongly recommend it to anyone who has not played it. Walmart is selling II for $24.96 with free shipping to a store, or $.97 shipping to your house.
You can find this deal here.
