Kinda like how they were going to give away the Nexus One for next to nothing, and change the cell phone landscape as we know it? The price that the market is willing to bear is being set. I wouldn't expect devices of this style to drop much below $400 for at least a year or so.Of course, if Google doesn't have a response ready in the next 18 months, you might very well be right, but at that point, will it matter? |
ok... Most Android cells are more powerful and the latest are rated far better than the iphones. Only thing iPhone currently has is app count/selection. But its also been out for years longer. Google's table won't give the ipad years of a head start and the app count is catching quickly as is the market share.
Its the same thing that happened in the PC market. Apple was top dog with great hardware/software but their were a closed expensive system. MS and its hardware partners came in and trounced them. In 5 years you'll be eating crow.
Plus, I didn't say Google's tablet would cost less, I said it would have far more features and thus be worth the $400. Just as the latest and Android phones cost about the same as an iPhone, yet have better hardware and more features.
