This Black Friday's deals on tablets should be interesting, with plenty of branded and off-brand releases over the past months.

There are plenty of Black Friday deals on tablets to look forward to, less than a week into Thanksgiving. While it's still too early to weigh in the best offers from retailers and manufacturers, the trend of previous Black Fridays could be used as benchmarks.

According to dealnews.com, the market has seen at least 59% more Black Friday deals on tablets in 2013, compared to 2012. This figure equals the offers for this year, as early as November. eBay, A4C, Newegg, and Walmart were highly recommended retailers.

"You can score a better 'net value', through iPads bundled with gift cards from big-box stores. Retailers like Target and Walmart are sure to offer the new Air 2 for slightly more than the competition, but with a sizable store credit attached. We expect these merchants to cut the price of the base model to about $479 and pair it with a $75 to $100 gift card. In Walmart's case, look for this offer to be one of those guaranteed doorbusters."

Android devices have the upper hand in manufacturer support, and are also used by many cheaper, off-brand manufacturers.

"... you can expect to pay between $25 and $100 for a solid media tablet this Black Friday. These tabs probably won't have the coolest specs or be running the KitKat OS, but they're perfectly priced stocking stuffers. [For big-name brands], expect to pay at least $150 for a popular 7" to 8" slate, while larger models could go as high as $500."

Windows tablets are also expected to slash prices, with focus on the newly released Surface Pro 3, "expecting to see the current-gen Surface Pro 3 fall to $700 for the 64GB base model; that's a $99 drop, or 12% off."

This Black Friday's deals on tablets should offer more variety than the previous years, but there's still Cyber Monday to look forward to, with more sweet offerings in tow.
