Staples must be hurting for business, because the chain is releasing some fairly substantial coupons as of late. Last week, it was offering $50 off any tablet or computer and now the office supply store is offering $100 off any tablet in its inventory. The only downside: Staples doesn’t sell the iPad.

>> Here is the coupon.

Still, there are a number of great Android devices to choose from if you’re in the market for a tablet. The HP TouchPad and BlackBerry PlayBook offer nice alternatives to Google’s OS as well.

Here’s the complete list, straight from Staples.com:

HP TouchPad
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1
Motorola Xoom
Dell Streak 7
Asus Eee Pad Transformer (has an attachable keyboard)
Acer Iconia Tab A500
Toshiba Thrive
BlackBerry PlayBook
HTC Flyer (7-inch)

The offer is only redeemable in store, though we have not used it ourselves.

(We have no relationship with Staples. This post is only meant to be of interest to anyone who may be looking for a tablet. Thanks to Phandroid for continuing to discover these deals.)

Forget about the TikTok ban; now the U.S. might ban DJI

The specter of a U.S. market ban is once again looming over DJI, the biggest drone camera maker in the world. “DJI is on a Defense Department list of Chinese military companies whose products the U.S. armed forces will be prohibited from purchasing in the future,” reports The New York Times.

The defense budget for 2024 mentions a possible ban on importing DJI camera gear for federal agencies and government-funded programs. In 2021, the U.S. Treasury Department put DJI on a list of companies suspected of having ties to the Chinese military and alleged complicity in the surveillance of a minority group, culminating in investment and export restrictions.
