[Deal Alert] New 32GB Nexus 7 For $229 At eBay Daily Deals [Updated]

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Deals, News, Nexus 7

Update 3/23/13: The deal is back yet again today.

Update 12/01/12: It's back one more time.

That headline seem oddly familiar? It should, because the same seller had an identical deal going about a week ago. And now it's back.

For today only, you can get a brand new, in box 32GB Nexus 7 for $229 shipped. That's your price out the door - unless you live in New Jersey, that is. In that case, you'll also have to fork over some sales tax. Sorry, guys.

Still, that's quite a bit cheaper than you'll get it directly from Google.

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Deals, Nexus 7

So, you want a Nexus 7. And you want it to have 32GB of storage. And you don't want to pay full price for it. Done, done, and done. For today only, you can get a 32GB Nexus 7 from eBay Daily Deal for a smokin' $229. That's $20 cheaper than in the Play Store. Not to mention the free shipping and no tax (for residents not in New Jersey, that is). Ultimately saving you around $30 - possibly even a bit more.

That may not be a huge savings, but c'mon - this tablet is already priced at rock bottom as it is.

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Iconia A110, News

Ever since Acer announced the A110's European availability back at the end of September, we've been waiting for word on North American availability. Given the 7-inch slate's reasonable specs, the biggest question has been how much will it cost?. The company just sent the word, and it looks like this Nexus 7 competitor will be available beginning on October 30th for $229. Here's what to expect for that price:

7" 1024x600 display
1.3GHz quad-core Tegra 3 processor
1GB RAM
8GB internal storage, microSD card slot
Front-facing camera
microUSB, microHDMI
0.86lbs, 7.68" x 4.61" x 0.52"
7.5 hour battery life
Android 4.1

At $230, the 8GB A110 is $30 higher than the Nexus 7 with equal storage, which will be its primary competitor.

Sprint Announces Samsung Transform Ultra For Boost Mobile: 1Ghz Processor And Gingerbread For $230 Without Contract

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Boost Mobile, News, Samsung

Boost Mobile, a pay-as-you-go subsidiary of Sprint, is set to add yet another Android-powered device to its lineup: the Samsung Transform Ultra.

While some of the more detailed hardware specs were left out of the official press release (see below), here is what we do know about the Transform Ultra:
