Samsung Windows 8 "The Build" Dev Tablets Already on eBay

WorldWide Tech & Science. Francisco De Jesús.

The Samsung tablets Microsoft handed out to developers during the BUILD conference are already appearing on eBay, and they aren't cheap.





Last Tuesday during Microsoft's BUILD conference, the company handed out 5,000 Samsung tablets packed with a preview version of Windows 8. Developers cheered at Microsoft’s surprising sweep of generosity, but many seemingly repaid the favor by selling their expensive gifts on eBay at over-bloated prices.

Case in point: this eBay listing shows the Samsung Windows 8 BUILD developer tablet for a current bid of $2,700 USD.

 But it's not just a tablet: this bid is for a bundle consisting of the Windows 8 tablet, a dock with USB, HDMI and Ethernet ports, a Bluetooth keyboard, a touch pen, a unique carrying case, and a pre-paid 12-month 2 GB/month AT&T data contract (SIM card not activated).

As for the Samsung tablet, it's similar to the just-announced Samsung Series 7 slate but includes new and improved components including an ambient light sensor, a gyroscope, a Bluetooth LE chip, a Trusted Platform module and NXP's Near Field Communications chip (NFC). The tablet also offers a 2nd-generation Intel Core i5 CPU, 4 GB of DDR3 memory, a 64 GB SSD, a Samsung Super PLS 1366 x 768 11.6-inch display, a microSD card slot and more.

"This auction is a brand new, limited edition tablet PC which was given at the Microsoft Build Windows conference in Anaheim on 9/13/2011," reads the auction description. "It is running a pre-release developer preview version of Windows 8 and is a powerful development machine for that upcoming platform."

Other Windows 8 BUILD tablets appearing on eBay aren't quite so expensive, ranging from $1,525 USD to $2,275 USD.

  2. I do like the manner in which you have presented this particular challenge and it does offer
    me personally a lot of fodder for consideration. On the other hand, coming from
    everything that I

    have seen, I really

    hope when the actual feedback pile on that people today continue
    to be

    on point and don't get started upon a soap box involving some other news of the day. All the same, thank you for this

    superb point and although I do not agree with this in totality, I value

    the perspective.

  6. I was curious if you ever considered changing the layout
    of your

    site? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.

    But maybe you could a little more in the way of content


    so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful
    lot of text for only having one or 2

    pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?

  14. With havin so much written content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism

    or copyright infringement? My website has a lot of unique content

    I've either created myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up

    all over the web without my authorization. Do you know any

    methods to help stop content from being ripped off? I'd really appreciate
    it.

    When I look at

    your website in Ie, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it

    has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up!

    Other then that,

  23. Hello would you mind sharing which blog platform you're using?

    I'm looking to start my own blog in the near future but I'm having a difficult time

    deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is

    because your layout seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something unique.

    P.S My apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!
