This is where all the tablets are going to miss the boat**. They need to come up with better pricing the Ipad. No one is going to buy another tablet than Ipad for the same price.**

^ c’mon TLK don’t turn into an apple fanboy and discount the needs/expectations/preferences of an entire other consumer segment. I personally think there’s ample opportunity for people who don’t want to be bound by the limitations of an iPad… so manufacturers that offer additional or missing functionality still have a lot of potential. I know at least five or six people who returned the iPad and opted for a playbook or a transformer and I’m pretty sure there are many others who did the same.

I’m not saying that the iPad aint good, but everyone’s preferences are different.

Ahemm. I am sure from this time onwards LC is going to pay more attention to what I say rather than throwing “Apple Fan boy” label at me

$499 tablet ending up selling for $99 dollars which clearly shows that the only way of competing with Apple is to keep your prices much lower than IPAD

TLK: 1
LC : 0

Btw, I am wondering at those wannabee business tycoons who are trying to sell their 16 GB touch pads on craigslist for 300 plus. For $280, I can buy an “as good as new” IPAD 1 from craiglist. Why would I pay $300 for the product that its own manufacture ditched.
