There's a great deal this week on an iPad Case & Keyboard at -- TabletMaxx - which offers a premium bluetooth keyboard - leather case combo package for $19.95 (regularly $49.95).
TabletMaxx also offers a few new tablets worth reviewing, including the Pipo P8 ($229) which launched this week, which compares to the new Nexus 9 tablet, but at about half the price with much of the same premium features including a Retina-quality display, a quad core processor, MicroSD storage and GPS.
Also new through TabletMaxx is the Ramos i12 ($299) with an ultra-size 12-inch HD display and Intel processor; also available is the Ramos i10 Pro ($399) - a new model similar to the Microsoft Surface, with the key advantage of a dual boot system that makes it the first tablet to run both Android and Windows OS on one device with easy access to Android Apps and Windows software -- the Ramos i10 Pro is powered by a high performance Intel Bay Trail processor and features Bluetooth, 8-hours battery life and a 10-inch, Full HD display.
