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.)

Apple is exploring a massive foldable iPad, but this could be one of those projects that looks better on a roadmap than in a retail box.

According to a new report from Bloomberg, Apple has been working on a roughly 20-inch foldable iPad, a project that has reportedly been a priority for incoming CEO John Ternus. While it sounds like one of the company's most ambitious hardware bets in years on paper, it may never really hit the store shelves.

A subtle but potentially significant shift may be coming to the iPad lineup, and it has less to do with hardware and more to do with identity. In a recent interview with John Ternus and Greg Joswiak from Tom’s Guide, the company could rethink how it names future iPads - moving away from the familiar generation-based system.

Why I chose the Supernote Nomad over other e-ink tablets

The Supernote Nomad is the e-ink tablet I did not know I needed, and now I cannot put it down.

Supernote Nomad in hand

Supernote Nomad has become my favorite purchase of the last year, and believe me, the decision to buy it was not easy. I didn’t realize that the e-ink tablet landscape had become so vast, and all the tablets I looked at had at least a few compromises that were a deal breaker for me.

Finally, after comparing and cutting out at least half a dozen e-ink tablets from my list, I settled on the Supernote Nomad. Yes, it also has some drawbacks, but there were five main reasons I settled on it.
