Granted the software looks very cool and highlights some of the weaknesses of iOS and the iPad. But it's worrisome that there was no talk of price or battery life and availability was listed as "summer" for wifi and "later" for 3G. I fear the Touchpad will be lapped by the upcoming iPad refresh before it even hits. And how much air went out of the Xoom balloon as soon as the $800 price tag leaked? The iPad definitely needs some strong competition but I am afraid this may not be it.
- m_eiman 16y agoI think that they'll announce the pricing about when the iPad 2 buzz has died down a bit after that has been announced. That'll let them set the price low enough, if Apple has any more surprises in that area (people expected the iPad to be a lot more expensive). When will they announce the new iPad, btw?

- masklinn 16y ago> When will they announce the new iPad, btw? Yearly cycle and no reason to pre-announce the iPad 2, so I'd expect announce and immediate availability for late march to early april.
- Bud 16y agoI don't think that waiting til iPad 2 pricing is out will help them magically hit the right price point, at all. This assumes that they can make a competitive product at a cost that lets them profit from it. Big assumption; nobody seems to be very good at that trick just yet. That's why their delivery date is still in Vapormonth, Two Thousand And Soon.
