What is a Silver Elite member???
Best Buy Reward Zone members get upgraded to Silver Elite status if they spend $2,500 in a year. The benefits (aside from these exclusive sales) is you get free standard shipping on everything you order online and you also get a 50% bonus on Reward Zone points (spend $100 you get 150 points versus 100).
I believe the larger discount is on the Transformer ($150 off) rather than the Acer ($100 off). The Transformer also has more RAM built in (16 GB versus 8 GB). It was also announced that the Transformer will be upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich, I don't know if that will be the case with the Acer.
I actually will be keeping both. I'll keep the Transformer for myself and my wife will get the Thrive. I look on the tablets purely as a toy, so there is no way I would pay full retail for these. The sub-$300 price is palatable for me.

The Acer is actually $140 off. I think whichever one I don't want... I will try to sell and make a quick profit. My deciding factor will be the screen size.
The problem with the ultra cheap tablets are that they are
1. loaded with older OS versions like Android 2.0 or 2.1, and more importantly
2. they are typically limited in functionality, such as they do not have Android Market, but rather use their own app store, which will have much less apps than the regular app store run by Google.

I agree, I'm personally looking forward to getting the new Transformer Prime in a couple weeks with Android 4.0. When you compare Android 2.0 to Android 4.0 it's almost like comparing Windows 95 to Windows 7, in other words a lot of changes/upgrades especially with a fairly young OS like Android.

The problem with little ones is you can't wait for the after Christmas sales, but you could wait to get yours then. Personally, if you want a 7" tablet for yourself and can find one for the price listed here, I would recommend the Acer Iconia. On the other hand, Ice Cream Sandwich sounds like it is going to be released soon and there does not seem to be any confirmation as to when it will be available for Acer. Check out the ICS thread on this forum and see what others are recommending. Then do some co mparison shopping to find one that is right for you.
