[Deal Alert] uNu 5,000mAh Or 11,000mAh Portable Battery Packs For $34 and $50 Respectively On Tech.Woot

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Deals, News

At this point, we've covered the benefits of having a portable charger/battery pack so much that you probably have all the reasons to buy one engrained in your memory. If you still haven't invested in one (or need to upgrade), however, tech.woot has a pretty solid deal on a couple of chargers from uNu.

The 5,000mAh Enerpak Tube is going for a mere $34, while its larger brother – the 11,000mAh Enerpak Vault – is available for $50. Considering the latter is pushing $80 on Amazon, those are both solid deals.

Both chargers feature a 5V 1A input and 5V 1A output, but the Vault also has a larger 5V 2.1A output for charging more power-hungry devices like tablets.

[Deal Alert] Refurbished Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (Wi-Fi, 32GB) For $409 With Leather Pouch On Woot

Posted by Eric Ravenscraft in Deals, Galaxy Note 10.1 (GT-N8000 / N8010 / N8013), News

The Galaxy Note 10.1, old as it may be, is still the de facto standard if you're looking for an Android tablet with a built-in stylus and at least some custom software to support it. Now, it's cheaper than ever to get your hands on it with Woot offering the 32GB model with a bonus leather pouch for $409. The slate has also received some updates in some regions since it first came out, so there's never been a better time to give it a second look.

The unit is refurbished, so if you have some hesitations about that, you may want to sit this deal out.

Do you feel drained of energy after a long trip? Imagine how your devices feel. Woot might be able to help out with their pain and suffering.

David gave the Instant Messenger very high marks in his review, and we know that he and Aaron use this bag in their day-to-day activities.

[New App] SeekDroid Developer Releases Woot Check, A Fast, Beautiful, ICS-Inspired Woot App

Posted by Nate Kimmey in Applications, News

Whether you are trying to score a great deal or just read the product descriptions, you've probably used Woot before. In fact, there's a good chance you've already used the service on your Android device, as there are several Woot apps available in the Play Store. But Woot Check, a brand new app from GT Media, the developers of SeekDroid, takes things to an impressive new level.

Side note: Technically, Woot Check was GT Media's first app, but it wasn't anything special at the time and what you see here today is a completely rewritten product that benefitted from all the experience of developing SeekDroid.

[Deal Alert] Philips Android Connect 16GB Available For $99.99 Plus $5 Shipping On Woot.com

Posted by John Thompson in Deals

The last time we saw the Philips Android Connect media player discounted, it was available for $110 from Best Buy. Today, we're going one (or five) better, as you can pick up the same media player for just $99 plus $5 shipping from Woot.com.

The Connect normally retails at $219.99, although it's available on Amazon for just over $160. That means that if you buy it from Woot.com today, you'll be saving at least $55.

Although its video playback abilities are somewhat limited thanks to its 3.2-inch display, the Connect can play back a wide array of audio files, including MP3, WMA, AAC, 3GPP, AMR-NB, APE, FLAC, MIDI, and Ogg Vorbis.

Posted by Eric Ravenscraft in Deals

While the world waits with bated breath for whatever tablet Samsung or ASUS comes out with next, Archos is busy gobbling up the budget tablet market. Woot's here to help with a deal on the Archos 101 G9 Turbo ~~Extra Super Ultimate XT MX S~~. The 8GB model, sporting a speedy 1.5Ghz dual-core processor is on sale right now for $279.

We can't seem to find the Archos 101 G9 Turbo ~~Two-Disc Limited Edition~~ in an 8GB model from any US retailer. Archos' own website, however, lists the 8GB Turbo model for £259.99, which comes out to around $410 USD.

[Woot.com Deal Of The Day] Motorola XOOM Wi-Fi 32GB For $399.99

Posted by Artem Russakovskii in Deals, News, XOOM

If you think the $450 Staples sale on the Wi-Fi version of the 32GB Motorola XOOM Honeycomb tablet that we covered earlier this month was a good deal, prepare for even better news. Woot.com, a popular deals site that puts one product up for sale per day, is selling none other than the 32GB version of the XOOM today for only $399.99 + $5 shipping.

There is only one caveat - the tablet is refurbished, but considering that most of them were probably returned items that went through a series of tests to make sure they're in good condition, I wouldn't stress too much.

Posted by Aaron Gingrich in Deals, Galaxy Tab, News

The O.G. Samsung Galaxy Tab (7") may not pack quite the same horsepower as the Viewsonic gTab, but it's still a damn fine piece of kit, and today Woot is selling it for just $260 + $5 for shipping. Even better, it's the 16GB Sprint 3G + WiFi model, meaning those of you who want to sign up for a service plan can do so. The catch: it's a refurbished model.

A refresher on the Galaxy Tab's vitals:

7-inch 1024×600 display
1GHz Hummingbird processor
3.2MP rear camera
Front-facing camera
4000mAh battery
Android 2.2 FroYo with TouchWiz UI
16GB storage
3G/WiFi

Sound like a bargain to you?
