$100 Price drop. Typical retail $199, lowest price previously seen, $178.

Quad core, 7 inch HD display, 1Gb RAM, 16Gb storage and microSd expansion (up to 32Gb), Android 4.2

Similar (slightly inferior) specs as the 2012 Google Nexus but with microSD slot. Both are capable tablets, especially if all you need is something to browse the web, check emails, watch movies and read ebooks.

Range of colors available - blue, green, grey, pink and white

I believe the sale ends Monday.

A few reviews here :

Short summary of reviews :
A tablet that punches above its weight (at the retail price of $199) with an excellent screen and great battery life
Mediocre camera (but who really buys a tablet for its camera???)
Slightly plastic body

I think its a great buy for $99, and from an established manufacturer, but i'll leave it open for the community to discuss =)

The usual $5 off coupon for subscribing to their emails as well.

Maybe grab 2 for $163 if you use the coupon and managed to sign up for the Amex Deal below https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/146939 - $30 credit on spend of $150+ until june 30th at HN
Any other professional suggestions?
Maths included for reference purposes : $99 + $99 - $5 (coupon) - $30 (Amex Credit) = $163

Enjoy!

================================================================================================

I bought 1 for 99-5=94 dollars because i think this will be a good light pad while travelling =)
I just want a cheap pad and if this does the job, why not??
maybe this will be good with people who have baby~ just for them to play with? haha~
