Google Music lets you store 20K tracks and the size doesn't matter so much.

Netbooks offer specs that can matchor exceed that of the iPad and they sell for $300 and often after paying the "MSFT tax".<br /><br />Now, I fully appreciate that a tablet is a much smaller form factor and much more highly integrated where even something as small as a netbook has much more room and doesn't need parts that are so highly specialized.<br /><br />All that said, it seams to me that all of the "me too" tablets out there are trying to "out feature" the iPad and a comprable price point and the answer (if they ever really want to establish a platform) is to build an iPad-1 competitor at a much cheaper price point.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06753378396941700737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612469642300269739.post-45152239717401156362011-08-29T11:56:38.835-05:002011-08-29T11:56:38.835-05:00I remember when the iPad first came out, the pundi...I remember when the iPad first came out, the pundits all predicted a low end price point of $999. Or maybe $899. And Apple blew them out of the water with $499.<br /><br />Now that the lower price point is what people are shooting for, they are finding it very difficult. It's not hard to sell $400 worth of parts for $99. It would be much harder to sell $150 worth of parts for $200.<br /><br />I think companies would sell a $200 tablet--if they could figure out how to make money doing so. What features would you be willing to give up to get it to that price point though? Is your list the same as everyone else that wants a cheap tablet?The Plaid Cowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15156865458946699401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612469642300269739.post-20004111212359363962011-08-29T11:50:52.546-05:002011-08-29T11:50:52.546-05:00Having dealt peripherally with the FAA before, I w...Having dealt peripherally with the FAA before, I would imagine that they have thought through every scenario that you could possibly think of (and likely a dozen more).The Plaid Cowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15156865458946699401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612469642300269739.post-11491875853533890812011-08-12T07:32:51.806-05:002011-08-12T07:32:51.806-05:00Sorry I didn't post your comment sooner... for...Sorry I didn't post your comment sooner... for some reason blogger flagged it as one to be moderated and I didn't get any kind of notification.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06753378396941700737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612469642300269739.post-65809463894825332632011-08-11T15:56:30.710-05:002011-08-11T15:56:30.710-05:00How utterly ironic and bizarre!How utterly ironic and bizarre!Mark Baker-Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14593390925694976101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612469642300269739.post-12217033471143905002011-08-10T14:02:11.638-05:002011-08-10T14:02:11.638-05:00I've been more fortunate then most.
