I don't see why it has to be doomed at this price. It is in the same ballpark as the iPad. With a subsidy, it will appear even cheaper than iPad. I am sure it won't ever beat the iPad on sales, but I can easily imagine it being a very successful and profitable product. We learned from the iPod competitors that cheaper price and cheaper looking devices, even with more features/storage, won't win. So why not go head to head with a similarly priced, similar build quality device? I feel like Apple gets this win-win perception. Competitor releases a cheaper product, it is called a piece of junk that is DOA. Competitor releases a similar or higher priced product, it is overpriced and DOA. Plus, "[a]ny tablet with a higher price than the iPad fails to generate any kind of lasting interest, I don't see why it will be different here"? Isn't a bit early to say? There has been only one real competitor, and while the Galaxy Tab hasn't taken the world by storm, it seems to be doing a tidy business.
