Would rather have the Insignia (http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&sku_id=0665000FS10056738&catid=10568)

5" screen would hurt my eyes :twisted:

No cameras, leaked deals only cover sunday and monday though, so maybe more down the line

Yeah, it looks like they've got just enough deals so far to get them through the weekend. Probably prepare the rest on Monday.

It seems to be true...nothing looks good (yet).

For an extra $30 this looks much nicer - nice catch KsprayDad.

The warrenty for the FutureShop one is 90 days as well however the RadioShack/TS one is a full year as well.

Didn't Derek/Ryan ask us not to post the 4 deals, after FS contacted them?

Well, for anyone considering getting in on this 'deal', you may want to think twice....

A quick Google came up with a bunch of very negative reviews on this unit. Probably the best source is the Amazon.com user reviews that can be found here. (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/customer-reviews/B00009OLLN/ref=cm_cr_dp_2_1/002-2202948-7681631?%5Fencoding=UTF8&s=electronics) Problems with defective units, VERY poor customer service from Mintek, poor video quality when outputting to TV, poor battery life, weird software quirks, dying backlighting, and more....

And, a quick eBay search suggests you won't get your money back if you tried to sell there. Recent auctions had them going for anywhere between C$50 and C$130.

In terms of value, I think CT's Koss 7" (C$169.99 - C$20 MIR) is a better deal.
