For those of you looking to purchase a tablet at a low price you can get the Toshiba Thrive for just $368 at Walmart and $369 at Amazon which is great for all of you penny pinchers out there. Although the Acer A500 is only $299 at Target that low price can only be obtained after using a $100 gift card that you receive when you buy the tablet. The 8GB Thrive comes with a NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual-core CPU, 1GB RAM, and many other great specs that you will devour. Some people prefer all the ports and options the Thrive offers, I for one think that the Acer A500 16GB for $399 with a $100 gift certificate is the best deal on the market.
Target however is still selling the Thrive 8GB version for $429, so make sure you buy one on Amazon or at Walmart. We will have to wait and see whether Ice Cream Sandwich and quad-core tablets are pushing prices down or if these deals are going to be short term. See full specs bellow:
