#1 cell phones cost anywhere from $0-$600 but who cares because that was NOT part of the survey I referenced.. they were talking about tablets only

#2 RIGHT NOW, yes that price point is low for a "nice" tablet, that won't be the case over time... Hell, The Transformer is a high end tablet and it is expected to be released at $399... we aren't as far off as you may think.

#3 I posted an article which clearly showed why Apple should worry even about "shitty" tablets... because if Android becomes THE system on everyone's phones and a ton of tablet offerings.. it will marginalize Apple into the same niche they hold in the PC market. If I have a family who all have Android phones and a few "shitty" Android tablets for the kids.. I am more likely to buy a high end Android tablet for myself.
