That'll sell well then
Tablet makers are finding it hard to get prices right, people will not pay ipad money for a non-ipad tablet.
HP demonstrated that quite effectively, the blackberry playbook is another fine example.
Putting an android tablet on the market at £400+ is retarded, no-one (except tech-heads) will give a shit if it's got 4 cores and mega grunt - it's not an ipad, end of.
I am a tech head...
I totally agree, these tablets need to come down to ~£250-300 really, as some of the have that are about to be replaced by new shiny models. Let the fan boi's pay ~£400 for the ipad, but for those who care about functionality more than style, lets have a realistic price.
I gave wifey her Archos 101 for her birthday It's OK for what she needs, using it to draw pictures from and stuff... but it's a bit on the slow side and doesn't feel overly modern, but they're over a year old now so I guess they wont feel that fresh - the replacement model seems pretty good but isn't available for cheap.
Having played with a few of them I think I'd buy a galaxy tab or the motorolla offering if I were buying new and looking for something really good to use.
wifey just got the Motorola Xoom on contract with phone - I must say I'm very impressed.
She seems to be using in no probs, and she is far far from a techy.
Quite heavy, but then its a metal case so feels quite robust.
I got the Mrs a a acer iconia a500 and its very good, im using it more than the laptop. its the same spec as a galaxy tab, but feels loads better having a metal case and takes sd cards where as the Samsung is not expandable and the best bit it was £319 from comet so nearly a ton cheaper.
Watched the entire of series one of the inbetweeners on it and still had quarter battery left
I got an archos 80 G9 for xmas, seems to be very good, battery lasts ages and I can use it for browsing, watching films (inc using hdmi to link it to tv) and rdp'ing to my computers etc etc.
bovvered?
