Shipping is free for all items.

Only 5 products so far today, we'll update when the 6th shows up. Looks like a good price on the Vado pocket video camera. It's designed to be dead simple to take some video and put it up on the web.

Microsoft Natural Elite keyboard and the UPS are also good deals with free shipping if they're products you need.

Cheap WD 1tb would be nice. Wouldn't mind a good 8/16gb usb drive (8gb data traveler just died)

I have no faith in Dell's sales nowadays... It's largely been disappointment after disappointment for awhile now.

But don't worry! Dell has been nice enough to mark up all the prices exactly 25% so when you apply your coupon you'll end up with products conveniently priced at $X99!

Such a horrible company. Between their lying reps, shady marketing, and bait/switch ad campaigns it's kinda disappointing to see RFD shilling for MDG's big brother.

Probably the 6th one was so bad that they pulled it off the site.

You're up late... but not as late as us here in Alberta! :cheesygri

Creative's Vado Pocket Video Cam looks interesting,
Memory: 2 GB
Video quality (pixels): 640 x 480
LCD: 2" (50.8 mm) diagonal, 16 million colors
Screen resolution (pixels): 640 x 240

Audio quality is supposed to be only ok but it's probably good for making videos for Youtube

That is what I feel about searching Dell's site for deals. I've not seen a good deal on this site for over 6 months. This company is toast if it can't entice the consumer. It's day's are almost over.

The MS Natural Elite is one of the best keyboards ever made. Has a huge "cult" following. I'm going to pick up a couple since even places like TigerDirect sell it for $45ish. So with free shipping it's a good proactive purchase.

I recently read that Dell is offering unpaid leave to its employees to cut costs. If that doesn't work, they're going to have to resort to layoffs.

Yeah, here's the story: http://consumerist.com/5077635/

C'mon people, at least the UPS with AVR is a warm deal.

Might not be quite as powerful as the APC one, but is cheaper, and more important...quiet.

I have a vado and it's quite nice. Nice blend of portability and functionality. It's a worthy competitor to low-end flash-based cameras priced at about $150.

The UPS is fine. I've bought two of these on seperate Dell sales. They used to go on for $39, but I haven't seen that price in a while. That was a hot deal. Is it worth $59? Sure, but it's not as "hot". At this price I'd shop around and see if there is anything else available, preferably by APC.

I personally much prefer the Powerchute software from APC.

Just my opinion...

Only 0.3MP though. It seems rather redundant if one already has a camera with video recording features.

Going to pick 1 up for sure.

Here's the sixth item...
http://snpi.dell.com/sna/images/products/A2251556.jpg
Kingston
2GB microSD Flash Card Twin Pack and Adapter
Temporarily Out Of Stock
Manufacturer Part# SDC/2GB-2P1A
Dell Part# A2251556

Starting From $29.99
You Save $19.00
Now $10.99

Most important factor is the Temporarily Out Of Stock tag. Unless that changes, be prepared to wait a month or more. Ordered the Powerline adapter on Oct.10th from the last DoD...and it still hasn't shipped.

Maybe Dell didn't want us to spend ;-)

Yeah, I did earlier this afternoon. My estimated ship date is Nov 18.
About $25 for 4 microSD 2 GB cards (bought 2 of them), I'm happy with the price.

*yawn~~~~~~~ deals are sooooooo weak.

The 2G memory is kinda nice, but most ppl don't need it anymore.

Most ppl probably have a couple of 1G laying around anyways

well, Dell days are 24hr deals (actually, to be precise, it's prbly a bit less than that). ... some Dell day deals have been hot, others not so much (mediocre/warm/lukewarm/cold)

so for a Dell deal to be "ridiculously hot", i guess we should be expecting those few-hr-long types of deals?

IDK... that sounds like a price error deal to me... :D

I ordered 3 on Thursday (6th) . At that time estimated shipping date was November 21. I just checked online and it appears that my order was shipped on the 7th. Received a Purlotaor tracking number but no info yet on the Purolator site.
