It's too late for the late-comers to try to redefine tablet pricing Sort of strange. It's like the other guys are trying to stake out the high end market while Apple is going for the volume market; the opposite of the usual. Another observation is that the other guys seem to want to duplicate the PC experience on a Pad. Apple is treating it as a different and unique device. Does the consumer want a PC on a Pad? We'll see.

That's just stupid. Why everyone can't just wait till we actually see REAL prices? This is all BS at the moment. Don't you all remember when the Galaxy Tab first was announced, people were quoting prices in Sweden of $1200 where they have VAT of 30% in addition to 50% duties on foreign goods. Well guess what??? When it came to the US the price was $599 and now is $399 with NO CONTRACT. Even this BS about the Best Buy pricing on the XOOM, even though they posted it as $799 on their leaked national ad, the angry and hateful Apple iSheep, scared to death of Android tablets (as they should be), wanted to convince everyone that the price will be $1200. Even though that price of $1200 proved to be pure LIES and GARBAGE. So everyone should just wait till they can actually order one (or pre-order one which is coming this Friday) to see what the prices are rather than icky and Lahcim the LIAR posting LIES and GARBAGE.
