Deal of the Day - 11/4/11

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.

John
