MacMall's eBay store has slashed $70 from the A500's price tag

It's been a while since we've post a daily deals thread on DailyTech, but this one is almost too go to let slip by. Judging by the feedback from our various tablet-centric articles on this site, many readers appeared to be enamored with Honeycomb-based tablets.

The Eee Pad Transformer hit a new "low" with an MSRP of $399 for the 16GB model. Today, MacMall is offering the Acer Iconia Tab A500 for $379 with free shipping through its eBay store. For those keeping score, the tablet has a regular MSRP of $449. 

However, keep in mind the Iconia Tab A500 weighs in at 1.7 pounds which makes it 0.4 pounds heavier than the iPad 2 and 0.3 pounds heavier than the aforementioned Eee Pad Transformer. The Iconia Tab A500 is also larger dimensionally than the lackluster Motorola Xoom. 

For full specs on the Iconia Tab A500, check out this page.

Since so many people have been asking for a proper link, here's one to Anandtech with specs and other information.

Personally, it's a decent price, but the A500 loses out big time to the Asus Transformer. I'd go for one of those, if you can find one in stock somewhere.
