Another great deal right now. Noticed Walmart has the Galaxy Tab 2 7" in stock in stores (didn't check website) for $179.99.

Got my wife one for Christmas at that price point and that thing is awesome. I did this after doing an in-store, side by side speed comparison between the GT27, and the N7.

Based on multiple rumors/leaks for the upcoming announcement at Google I/O in May (e.g., Refreshed Nexus 7 to be announced at Google I/O), I'd probably look for a new first-gen 16GB well under $150, or a refurb under $100 -- though in my case I'm sitting on my hands until the announcement. If it's getting a bump in processor and resolution plus Key Lime Pie, I'd rather wait for the new model.

Forgive the self-congratulatory follow-up to my post, but I thought today's (4/3) news was kind of relevant/interesting:

If this report turns out to be accurate, it probably doesn't come as a surprise. NVIDIA is great at making powerful processors and GPUs but Qualcomm is just flat out better at building a more power efficient product right now. Additionally, there is speculation Google is planning a price drop for the tablet to just $149.99. Right now their pricing plans are in flux and they may stick with their current plan, but if there is a price drop it will likely be an attempt to increase sales of the Nexus 7 to put even more market pressure on Amazon and Apple.

Pricing is yet to be determined and Google's plans are fluid, the sources said. Market leader Apple is expected to launch new iPads this year as well, possibly forcing its competitors to change their assumptions.

Google may choose to sell the new gadget for $199, the same as the first generation rolled out last June, while the old model may be discounted, one of the sources said. Alternatively, the new tablet could be priced more competitively at $149 and the previous model discontinued, the source added.

I ordered one of these and it still hasn't shipped. It says my order is still "processing." I emailed (no phone numbers listed on site) them Monday requesting a status update and when I could I expect it to ship and they haven't responded to the email yet either. :frown:

I wouldn't worry too much -- I've bought 3 or 4 things from 1saleaday (an SSD, webcam, cordless telephones) and they are slow shippers, but always come through. Their customer-service model is pretty bad, though. I think they work on a razor-thin profit margin and spend no money on the service side. I'm sure it will work out.

I finally did get a shipping confirmation late last night. They weren't kidding about the 10 business-day-excluding-holidays processing time. I think it was ten business days (not including Good Friday) nearly to the hour...

FYI, tigerdirect.com has the 8GB N7 refurb for $100 + $4 shipping (you have to subscribe to a security bundle):

ASUS Google Nexus 7 Android 4.1 8GB WiFi Tablet and Total Defense Premium Internet Security Bundle at TigerDirect.com

I'm curious to see what the next few weeks will bring.

It's July and the Nexus 7 2nd gen (rumored) announcement/release must be days (moments?) away. As I bide my time, just noticed that Microcenter has the 32GB 1st gen at $199 (a drop of $20-$30 over recent deals). Maybe they know something we don't?

Four short months since the start of the thread, and now the 16GB is $149 and the 32GB is $170. I guess I should call this my "I love to gloat" thread!
