32GB Asus Nexus 7 7" Android 4.1 Tablet $230 + Free Shipping (expired)

Quote from krazymop : my touchpad runs really smooth with ICS. the most recent nightly is solid.

are you using 4.0.4 or 4.1 on the touchpad. I am going to convert over but don't know if I should go with the 4.0.4 or 4.1

Quote from Nathan0490 : I love my Nexus 7. Purchased the 3 year ADH warranty from SquareTrade today with the 40% off. TU OP.

I did the same thing yesterday... I went with Radio Shack for the Nexus purchase... I get 10% cb thru upromise so that covered the tax and some and they also have the $50 in coupons for $250 purchase.

Radio Shack deal not for every one but I can always find a few $10 items from radio shack that I need; cords, chargers, screen protectors, cheap case, 2gb and 4gb sd cards.

Quote from heyitsme83 : Did you purchase on ebay? If so, how did you use the code?

I don't know if you could use the 40% codes for ebay purchases. I remember searching for some squaretrade coupon codes the other day and some of the better ones had exclusions that it couldn't be used for Amazon orders and I think ebay items were also excluded for certain codes.

I bought from Radio Shack (yeah I know, I'm probably the only person that shops there); but got the 3 year deal from squaretrade for around $45 with code.

I went with 4.0, because I prefer a little more stability, especially considering my kids use it. I'll upgrade to 4.1 eventually.

Quote from chong67 : It would be nice if it got back camera and a microSD slot. You can get the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7" for $180, but it has lower screen resolution.

and last gen slower processor, ICS , and lower quality screen. One cool feature not mentioned is the built in IR blaster. makes it a cool coffee table tablet.

Tempting, but might wait for the $99 version and see what features are missing.......

As explained by CNET, a component maker called O-Film Tech revealed to an Asian supply-side technology website that it began shipping parts for a less expensive (and thinner) version of Google's Nexus 7 tablet this month. O-Film Tech makes touch-screen glass technology and other display components for the mobile industry.

Thanks to lower supply-side costs, prices on the new device are expected to go as low as $99, which is significantly lower than the comparable iPad Mini currently retailing for over $300. The article speculates that the price drops might occur in stages, with the first wave of new tablets being sold in the $129 to $149 range. Google is not the only company adopting the low-price strategy; Acer and Asustek are among manufacturers also rumored to be releasing their own sub-$150 tablets soon .

Google's $99 Nexus 7 tablets are expected to ship sometime in early 2013.

Slightly over $200, but a great 10"

Quote from Gidnop : possibly. but you don't see the market for tablets getting saturated and the prices plummeting as technology makes them less and less expensive to produce? Four years ago my cell phone was garbage and cost $199, now a Galaxy can be found for $1 sometimes. Netbooks went down and down and down in price. Decent laptops can be as low as $300. LCD monitors and TV's have plummeted in price. The same thing is going to eventually happen to tablets. Everyone is gonna have tablets in their house because they will be so cheap why not have a tablet?

Of course. I waited a year after tablets came out to buy a refurbished Nook Color, then modded it. $129 last holiday, and got a ton of use out of it. But you don't have to wait for the market here at SD. You can buy a $150 Nexus 7 knock off now if you don't mind zero support from a China tab. That market is already saturated. But like I said, you have to pick your poison.

Did you know the Nexus 7 8GB build cost was $184 as of June 2012? The profit margin was $15. The only way Google could turn a profit was charging big $$ for a 16 and 32GB model. And thus the hunt for the $200 32GB N7 here at SD.

Sure, component costs drop, but if you want the latest and greatest processors and graphics chips, you will pay, which is where SD comes in. If you can settle for older tech, you can get tablets for big discounts (Cowboom tablet flash sale).

Not bad but only saves about $5-10 from their own site, due to shipping costs.

Listing has ended :-(

i picked this up with the beach camera deal a few weeks ago. it's a great tablet. the latest version of jelly bean allows for multiple user accounts. i can share it with my 4 year old son. everything is kept separate (has its advantages and disadvantages). keeps my stuff safe from his curiosity. the size is perfect when we travel as well. just wish it can connect to usb devices without rooting or allows for SD card expand-ability. i miss my asus tf101. i was able to plug in usb hard drives and SD cards w/o rooting, but it was too big for my taste and it doesn't have jelly bean w/o multiple user support.

WOW. Very high pixel. Got back camera.

Microsoft need to come down in pricing if they want to compete.

No I got mine from AAFES for $213

I bought this one for $89, which I think is a much better deal

So what's the "catch" with this one, other than it's some off-brand and likely got junk support (if any)?
