Newegg has JBLs back in stock
I see today that (contrary to rumor) Newegg has the black JBL back in stock, but it's $89.99 without any extras.

Not Me! I already have four.
OT: I just tried out the DirecTV HD DVR feature that lets you search "YouTube" videos on your TV. I used "jetbook" as the keyword for the search and was surprised how many there were and how good they looked on my 100" screen. Luck; Ken |

Thanks tomereader! It just so happens that I have $70 in Amazon gift cards. I've been planning on buying some books, but maybe I should go ahead with this instead.

You are welcome GA Russell, I always check amazon first they _usually_ have the best price or if I combine with a two day super saver shipping special that usually beats the competitions combined sale price plus shipping cost
I used to then check Tiger Direct but am waiting to see how they are going to treat me after basically being "bait and switched" on that Archos 7 home tablet (refurbished) that they had advertised as having android 2.1 then it arriving with android 1.5 ... if they refund with no restocking fee then I guess I'll be happy |

demingite, a click on tomereader's link still shows me $99.99. Where are you getting your number?
PS - OK, I see that you were talking of Newegg, and that they have them back in stock again. Last edited by GA Russell; 03-24-2011 at 09:13 PM. |

I see the gray one at newegg for 69.99. That's great! I wonder how annoying the battery bump is on that one. I wish I had gotten the regular Jetbook without the batteries (have the JBL).

Ken, it is a nice thing to hold onto. But it is not symmetrical! I would have preferred they make the entire back thicker rather than just one part. It looks funny when you lay it flat. I know, its ridiculous of me.
Also if it was thin all over (instead of bumpy) it would slide into a pocket/purse easier. And I imagine without the batteries it would be much lighter, and therefore more portable. But its a heck of a lot cheaper than the other one. So I'll just keep mine, bump and all. |
