I think a lot of it is that there are a ton of people out there like me who are waiting for the prices to come down. There's a perception that Apple products are overpriced, so it doesn't seem like an Android product should be higher priced.

I've said for a long time that there's no way I'm paying more than $500 for one, and I think that $400 is more reasonable. Hopefully they'll be able to get it down even lower than that, but we'll see. Just depends on how hot the competition gets.

(That said, I don't expect any individual device to ever sell as well as the iPad. The only question is whether the collection of Android tablets will sell more. I think it'll happen, but I'm not going to go making bets on it. )
