Believe it or not, America's favorite holiday is under a fortnight
away. And this year, it looks as if Toys R Us won't even wait for
Thanksgiving Day to conclude before forcing employees behind registers
and breaking families apart as they seek out lukewarm deals
camouflaged as revolutionary purchases. This year, Black Friday begins
at 10PM on Thanksgiving Eve, meaning that quite a few desperate souls
will be lined up in a parking lot rather than circling a stuffed bird
and chuckling with loved ones. The culprit? Two devices in particular.
The first is an unnamed 7-inch netbook, complete with WiFi, three USB
sockets, a sub-two pound weight, a red chassis and a mind-scrambling
$79.99 price tag. The second is a 7-inch Sylvania tablet, sporting
Android 2.1, WiFi and an SD card slot; we're assuming it's the same
unit Kmart is hawking for $180, but Toys R Us will have it for the
low, low price of $139.99. Other hidden treasures include a Vivitar
point-and-shoot for $39.99, 7-inch Coby digiframe for $24.99 and a
Vivitar pocket camcorder for just $19.99. We know your gears are
already turning, but lest we forget that time with family is
priceless... right?

[Thanks, Dave]
