Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 at Costco for $170
...meanwhile, a new deal has cropped up at Costco. Once again, they're selling the 7" Galaxy Tab 2 for $170 ($240 + tax - $70 rebate). That's the same deal they ran over Black Friday.

That alone might make it worthwhile for some people (the menus are quite small, normally, so those who have trouble seeing them, cataracts, etc, might be interested in having the menus read to them, also). It looks like the newer versions let you switch back and forth Quote:
Another reason seems to be to change the language displayed (lots of Japanese themes, from what I see, at least one in German) and the fonts/sizes. |

I got one from 'Zon to use as a universal remote and it does that pretty well (the app could use a bit of refining and it would be nice if we could customize it more, but having your tv guide on the remote is kinda cool). Battery life isn't bad, either (it depends on if you surf and read on it a lot or play a lot of games, or just toss it on the coffee table while watching tv, of course).

If I had trouble seeing the menus, I'd go for a device with a larger screen. But I do have an extra Clip+ now, so maybe one day I'll decide to try Rockbox and take my chances on losing DRM capability or even bricking it. |

There was an ebay store that sold 6000 32 gig nexus 7's for $217.
It went fast http://www.ebay.com/itm/190771024123 |

With the Sansa E2xx series the box stretched more. It allowed the use of a higher capacity microSD card. My recollection is that Sandisk encouraged the Rockbox folks to create versions for these models since Sandisk had no plans to release additional firmware updates.

16 GB Nexus 7 available online/instore?
Just wondering -
I cannot find the $200 16GB nexus 7 listed online at Staples/Walmart/etc where the $250 32GB N7 are listed. Do stores sell the $200 version? |

Probably not. The 32GB N7 gives Google more profit. The 16GB N7 is sold out in the Play store and I'm sure Google planned it that way so they could sell more 32GB N7s.
