Today’s main deal is the Slingbox Personal TV Broadcaster for $179 (regular price $249).

According to wikipedia:

A Slingbox is a TV streaming device that enables consumers to remotely view their cable, satellite, or personal video recorder (PVR) programming from an Internet-enabled computer with a broadband Internet connection.

This price is very good for the Slingbox. The Slingbox is a device that we can certainly live without, but if you’re interested in it now is the time to buy it.

Some of Dell’s other deals today include:
– Dell 1110 Laser Printer – $79
– Dell 1200MP DLP Projector – $599
– SlingLink Powerline Ethernet Adapter – $79
– Finepix S5200 5MP Mega-Zoom Digital Camera – $299
– 512MB Dell DJ Ditty Flash MP3 Player – $49

Today’s main Deal is a Dell Axim X51v Pocket PC (Personal Digital Assistant PDA). It is on sale for $369 (regular price $529). Now this deal isn’t really that great since this PDA has been around for a while and isn’t really reduced that much. But the good news is that some of today’s other deals are pretty good:

– IOGear Wireless Bluetooth Headphones & Microphone – $79
– Kingston Elite Pro 2GB SD Card – $49
– FinePix A510 Digital Camera – $189
– Z22 Handheld – $99
– 200 GB 7200 RPM Barracuda 7200.9 Ultra ATA/100 Internal Hard Drive – $79

If you own a camera that uses SD cards (like Canon cameras and most other brands except for mainly Sony) the Kingston Elite Pro 2GB SD Card is one hot deal FOR $49.

If you’re running out of space on your PC the 200GB Internal Hard Drive for $79 is a good deal too.

Remember shipping is free.

Good deals but nothing spectacular on Flat panel LCD displays today.

DELL 1907FP 19” Digital flat panel is on sale for $249 (regular price $349).

This monitor is of very high quality. The image is bright, sharp and clear. Low response time also insures that you almost get no shadowing (so if you move a window around you won’t feel it leaving shadows or trails behind). You can also rotate the screen so that it’s vertical and one of this monitor’s most comfortable features are the integrated USB ports for easy access to connect peripheral devices.

The only problem is that Dell had a very similar deal a few months ago. Given the Canadian dollar’s rise since then you would have expected Dell to lower their prices a bit. You can find 19” monitors on sale for $199 at Staples and Future Shop. They might not be as good as the Dell ones but for people on a tight budget the $199 ones are perfectly fine. I also expect 21” monitors to become the mainstream soon which will result in huge price drops on 19” monitors.

So in a nutshell, the monitors on sale are wonderful but the price should have been lower. I’d recommend you wait for better deals.

Some of Dell’s other deals today include:

– Dell E196FP 19-inch Flat Panel LCD Monitor – $219
- Kensington PilotMouse Wireless Laser Mouse – $29
– LX Arm with Constant Force (CF) – $119
– Verto GeForce 6600 256MB DDR 8X AGP Graphics Card – $99
– Stylus Photo R220 Inkjet Printer – $99

Not a very good start:

Today’s main deal is a Belin Wireless Desktop 130 for $19 (regular price $59). The mouse isn’t too bad. It has a good response time and looks fairly good. Unfortunately, the keyboard isn’t exactly top quality. It has lots of extra buttons and a built in built-in wrist rest but its cheap look and feel would prevent me from buying it.

Interestingly, Dell misspelled the word quiet:

Not a very professional thing to do 😉

The bottom line: if you’re looking for an inexpensive mouse and keyboard this deal from Dell might do the trick. I however do not recommend it.

Some of Dell’s other deals include:
– Kodak EasyShare C533 5MP, 3x Optical Zoom Digital Camera – $149
– Discovery 640 Bluetooth Headset – $69
– Kingston 2GB CompactFlash Elite Pro Card – $69
– Kingston USB 2.0 15-in-1 Memory Card Reader – $17
– Sanyo CLT E40 Digital Slide-to-Open Cordless Phone with Caller ID – $79

Sorry for the lack of updates. I had to travel to Ottawa and I didn’t have easy Internet access during my stay. SmartCanucks is back to normal. Next time I’ll make sure I leave a notice on the blog before traveling anywhere.

I have some good news to make:

Canadian Girl will start writing in the blog and forum as well 🙂 She’ll be using a different nickname (which she hasn’t chosen yet). Instead of posting deals, she’ll have some other fascinating stuff like competitions, tips and advice, interesting news and much more 🙂

I’ll also be dedicating much more time to SmartCanucks so you’ll get much more deals and freebies.

Don’t forget to check out the forum regularly. Several people, especially Lesley, are posting some fabulous deals and freebies 🙂
