We don’t share many Woot! sales as news, and I trust most of our readers know of Woot! but today’s sale caught my attention. They are selling the Sony Tablet s with 32GB and a dock for $259.99. If you are looking for a quality ICS-Capable Android Tablet, it would be hard to go wrong with this one.
Specs:
- 1 GHz nVIDIA Tegra 2
- 1 GB Memory
- 32 GB Storage
- 9.4″ 1280 x 800 display
- microUSB port (not for charging)
- Full-size SDHC (up to 32GB)
- 5.0 MP camera plus .3 MP front-facing camera
- IR Remote capabilities
It also comes with the dock, and a power cable (you can use the cable with the dock or the tablet). Of course a key feature is the $260 price tag. This is a great deal on a tablet that is not the old. Here are some things to be aware of:
- Newer tablets can come with Tegra 3 1.6 GHz processors
- No HDMI out, even in the dock
- Odd shape (it’s a wedge) I kind of like the shape.
- Comes with Honeycomb, but you can upgrade to ICS right away.
So what do you think? I had one friend on G+ recommend spending another $150 for the ASUS TF300 (it has a Tegra 3), and of course I can’t help but covet the TF700 (add in high res screen, gorilla glass) for another $240. But at this price point, it is an attractive deal.

I’d go for the Google Nexus 7. I’ve had four Android tablets now, and can attest that the Nexus 7 is the fastest, smoothest and best tablet on the market. Primarily because of the quad core processor, but also because of the lastest OS and the smaller form factor.
I may end up going with mini IPad. If it is out and 7 inch size. My kids don’t even bother with Asus EEpad and kindle. Only Ipad and iphones. Hmmm. what to do what to do…
