There's no way that the average person is going to spend $1200 on a device that's primarily about media consumption, not content creation. Even if Apple gets mobile carriers to help subsidize the device, it's still way too expensive.Posted on Nov 20, 03:55
Apple didn't launch the iPhone until Midyear, but Steve Jobs introduced it earlier at the January Macworld (which Apple is no longer attending). I hope Apple will somehow preview the tablet, even if the shipping date is later in 2010.Posted on Nov 20, 01:16
Your last paragraph about expected costs and price points is confusing, but I think we can assume that the market for a tablet with a list price above $1000 is going to be relatively small.Posted on Nov 19, 17:00
