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.)

Don’t believe me? It's true! Here’s what Google has done with its mobile hardware and software over the past months that allows me to make such a bold claim.

Want to make a movie on your iPhone? Experts told me their secrets

“The phone in your pocket is a time machine. Take it out, point the camera, and shoot important moments in your life. It’s your very own film,” says Victoria Mapplebeck, a Department of Media Arts professor at the Royal Holloway University of London. She knows a thing (or two) about making films with a smartphone.

Victoria won the BAFTA honors in the Short Form Programme category in 2019 for her film Missed Call. It was shot on an iPhone X, one of the first films to showcase the might of smartphone filmmaking.

Phones are never truly “free”, so choose your next phone deal wisely

Visible wireless holiday deal feature with snow and more.

With an endless array of "free" phone offers, discounted rates, and new customer giveaways, have you ever wondered how much a free phone truly costs? Most carriers claim they're giving them to you, offering you an incredible deal and huge savings, but that's not the reality. To remove the veil, Visible has teamed up with Marques Brownlee (aka MKBHD) to uncover how these offers fudge the numbers. They bake the full cost of the device into your monthly plan by charging you more and tying you to the wireless carrier's most expensive plans. They also reel you in by cementing you to a long-term contract that's tough or nearly impossible to end.

Visible's base plan can free you from this nefarious practice at just $25 per month, every month, with no hidden fees. But here's the best part. For a limited time, you can get your first three months for $20 per month, saving $15, when you use code HOLIDAY at checkout. With that, you'll get unlimited talk, text, and data, including hotspot access, via Verizon's 4G and 5G nationwide networks. Let's take a closer look at how carriers skirt the "free" offers they're providing, with help from Marques Brownlee.
