I don't know if a $30 drop (about 10%) can be considered "slashing". The 4G version, sure, that's a pretty big drop.

too bad the wifi on it sucks. at least on ours. We can barely be on the other side of the house (1 floor 2 bedroom house, not that big) and it'll drop connection whereas other devices on it work fine.

Not bad, but it could fall a little more before I bite. i wanted to get a tablet, but Im still not in that big of a hurry.

There's a new tablet model released last week called the Novo 9 Spark for $269 at the web site - TabletSprint -- which is a pretty impressive new 9.7 inch Android tablet, with a 2048x1536 iPad Retina type screen and a fast Quad Core processor/1.5 Ghz/2GB -- along with a 10,000 mAh battery, 32GB Memory, Android 4.1 O/S Jelly Bean, MicroSD memory card slot, the new high end 4K Digital HDMI, a 2 MP Front webcam and a 5 Megapixel Rear Camera with AF and Flash.

It comes preinstalled with Google Play Store Market and the entire system runs as smooth as a Nexus 7. It is also easy to install Amazon Marketplace that provides access to Amazon Apps Store. Ainol Electronics makes this new model and is known for winning runner up for best-tablet-of-the-year in 2012 at the annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) - this new tablet is more than worth the price and the reseller, TabletSprint also offers a promotion with a free 500MB monthly Data plan for 4G internet access that includes a free 4G USB adapter.

My wife has the Fire HD 7" and the wifi is really good, it picks it up from all over the house no problems. Did you try changing your channel or encryption method on your router?
