Earlier this week Woot had this tablet on sale for $280. If you didn’t get a chance to get one, good job. It turns out that the Woot price wasn’t quite so spectacular. You can now find said tablet for $340 at circuitcity.com, and there’s a coupon code which will get you an extra $40 [...]

September 30th, 2010 · No Comments · hardware news
What’s really interesting about this is that I can only find mentions of 2 of the tablets for the US and European markets. On Tuesday Viewsonic announced 3 new tablets in 5″, 7″, and 10″ for the Russian market. We’ve of course seen the Viewpad 7 and Viewpad 10 before, but I don’t think they [...]
