The Nexus 7 is not a cheap product. You are kidding yourself.

It certainly won't take long for us all to find out that people won't pay $329, when an excellent product, one that is equivalent in features that matters most to the majority of consumers, costs $199. The only advantage Apple has is their own showrooms. I don't think this is sufficient; counting on the iMini doing well is counting on the laziness and ignorance of consumers. Cook is another Sculley. Total internal product confusion and cannibalization.

This is not a carrier subsidized device. Apple can't compete or survive in this space against Google.

People spend $100 a week on beer and gasoline. Who cares!<g>

Apple has more than enough products for which they are charging $0 to $199 next quarter to generate an extra $16 billion in revenues. UFB!!

Stupid ass cell phone companies get stiffed for the other $400. More stupid consumer gets stuck with $1200 cell phone bill. That's alot of beer!
