No HDMI port, but I saw somewhere that there is a USB2HDMI adapter available, It's for PC's, but might work on a tablet - won't know until someone tries it.

This tablet was not such a good buy at $350, but for $200 it seems like a fair deal and maybe even a good one depending on your needs.

Engadget was so-so in their review, but I saw a review at AnandTech that was more positive and said the wi-fi download/upload speeds were exceptional. So good for web stuff.

I ordered mine from another source where I had a coupon and got a slightly better price ($180) but have not received it yet.

If it works without issues, I think I will be happy with the feature set for this price, especially as all reviews noted good build quality overall and decent performance.

Also, I like the fact that it shuts off WiFi in sleep mode (my preference, others may prefer it left on) to save battery life. Two weeks between charges with casual use is good enough for me.

ICS is flash friendly and even if the OEM browser isnt, Dolphin browser is

Needs to get here faster!!

I would assume so, it will be running the Android OS, so you just download the free Netflix app from the Play Store(Android's app store) log into your account on the app, and you should be good to go!

Has anyone yet received a shipping notice? Normally I order from Woot and then nearly forget I ordered something, so that by the time it gets to my door, I'm surprised—this time, though, I'm anxious to receive the item.

Ipad? Don't talk to me about Ipad. Most likely, Flash enabled as Apple is the only company proprietary enough to lock down their own users.

No shipping notice yet. Looked in my "stuff you bought" box and see the A200 is "awaiting shipping". True, I bought it at the beginning of a weekend, but now two full business days have passed and it's.....just sittin' there.
I am anxious, too!

Mine is still awaiting shipping as well. I haven't bought anything off of woot in years (not that I haven't tried to snag a blinged out cabbage once every month or two), but I was hoping with the Amazon ownership, shipping would be quicker than it was years ago. Hopefully they have shipped and just haven't updated the order status yet. I have had it where I received a product before receiving the tracking information. The anticipation is killing me! I want my new toy!

I'm in the same boat, mine is stuck "awaiting shipping as well. However a little over a year ago I got an ipod touch 4g from woot and the same thing happened, I actually got my ipod two days before it said it was shipped.
(But it took well over a week to even get here...)

Counting down the third business day now. I wonder when this thing is going to ship!

(EDIT: Or if it has, when I'm going to receive it!)

I am impatiently waiting too!! Still says Awaiting shipment so hopefully it's an oversight and it's already been shipped!! I keep checking my email on my phone in the middle of the night when I wake up and am loosing sleep. Guess I'm a little out of hand.

So...When does it ship? Woot is typically pretty good about getting things packaged and shipped. A little longer wait than I was expecting. Still, what's not to love?

I contacted Woot and from the response, I got the feeling that it still hasn't shipped, rather than it hasn't updated.

That's depressing I'm really eager to get this!(As we all are)
What did they say though?

I asked about switching to expedited shipping, and the support person said that that wasn't offered on this product; that even if it was, it was too late to change; and that I will be notified when it ships.

Alrighty then. And I checked the tracking on the ipod I got a year ago and it took 5 days for them to ship it(and got it on the 6th) So maybe we'll have them by this weekend if it goes the same...Oh well, I just stop worrying about it and let it be a surprise when it eventually gets here.

I got a similar response, they were telling that these are being drop shipped from the vendor so we should allow a total of 7 business days for these to be shipped.

I recently bought a ACER Iconia A200 tablet on 6/16/12 at 1:26pm. At this point the item still says "awaiting shipping' even though it is now 6/18/12 and 5:42pm. I thought maybe the order was denied by my bank, but a quick look at my bank account showed this wasn't true. I was charged the $204 charge yet my item seems to not be shipping out. Any ideas to why this is? It shouldn't take anymore then a day to process an order right? Have you guys been getting tracking updates? because im not on my "Stuff you bought page". This is my first purchase of this website and im kind of worried something went wrong. I double checked all account info and everything checks out. any ideas?

Nope. It seems you are in the same rather large boat that the rest of us are in.

kevin001111 wrote:any ideas?

ugurpasa mentioned that the tablets were being shipped from a vendor, with a potential for a week's delay in shipping.

And yes, I do agree lichig0 that worrying won't make these tablets come any sooner, but it would have been best for Woot! to mention this delay to us.

still not shipped?! Walrus Toting Halibut!

I emailed woot and was told mine will ship by Friday the latest.

They sure were fast to charge our credit cards. Too bad they can't be as efficient in getting our items shipped.

I don't have a problem waiting for my random shirt or smaller items, but when you drop $200... I mean, who's still going to be playing Words with Friends when I finally get mine?

waiting...waiting...waiting...

Someone posted that it was $219 refurbished on Amazon. Since I have a Prime account there, it seems, in retrospect, that I might have been better off ordering from them. I'd be posting this (or some other words of wisdom) from my new tablet, not from my PC.

I'm having the same thoughts. It's more frustrating now that Woot! is owned by Amazon, and also sells on Amazon with a two-day shipping estimate (not all products are sold there, though).

Yay Tracking info and it'll be here by tomorrow!! I can't wait!!

I got my "shipped" email today, and I tracked it and it is on my front door waiting for me when I get home

WOOT!

1:10PM EST just got the email from Woot saying the A200 has shipped!! Woo woo!

Just got mine!

Looks like it shipped directly from Acer as it was in an Acer box.

The package tracker tells me I should get it tomorrow, and that it was shipped on Tuesday. Two business days for the shipping time is good; waiting two days to get the tracking number is a little weird, though. Still, I'm glad to know it's going to get here by the weekend!

Mine said they recieved the package on 6/19/12 but im only getting tracking info today on 6/21/12/.. anyway my tablet says its on the fedex truck and should be here today!

My tracking info sez pkg left San Diego yesterday (20th) and it due here in Massachusetts Tuesday the 26th :-(
Some of you guys must live closer to the left coast to be getting it so much earlier!

Congrats! Mines scheduled for arrival next Monday, 6/25. That's probably good. I have a lot of stuff to get done this weekend, so I'll be better off without the distraction. My wife has classes on Monday evenings, so guess who be having some quality time with his new toy!

I'm in the same boat you are. I live in Kentucky so it takes a while to ship ground from San Diego. Mine is estimated to be delivered Monday.

Woot typically ships within 2 business days of receiving your order. We'll send you a tracking number, but sometimes the package will arrive before you even get the number. We're that awesome. We'll let you know if there's going to be a significant delay, or if we can't fill your order for some reason. (That almost never happens, so don't freak.)

I didn't get any notification of there being a delay, did any of you?
