LOL, another $1K tablet

[trmiv]

I realize there the hardware on the Nook Color isn't up to snuff with these tablets, but it's still a nice device. Why is Barnes and Noble able to offer it at $250 when most of these others seem to be so expensive? Given the price for the Nook I just can't see a 10" tablet being $750+ more. Are they selling it at a loss and hoping to make it up with book sales?

I'll wait for actual selling prices to settle before making any decisions. Ultimately, supply and demand sets the prices, and there is going to be no shortage of supply for Android tablets.

looks like the xoom is in direct price competition w/ the 32GB ipad. But that still leaves the door wide open for the 16GB ipad.

That's MSRP at launch. We'll see what the actual selling prices are going to be when there are 10 different tablets with similar specs on the market. Competition is good to consumers.

It doesnt matter how wiz bang bam filled these tablets are, if they can not hit that 499 or less mark then they are screwed
