As far as I'm concerned, I'm not sure this is about price. Yes, I have the $499 Wi-Fi iPad, but I bought it over the Kindle, Nook, and Galaxy because it's a perfect blend of technology and efficiency. The Galaxy feels like a clunker, and the Nook isn't versatile. I don't believe the iPad can replace a decent netbook or macbook for working on the road, but it works great for doing what it's supposed to do. The reason the competition can't get it right is because they're trying to compete by adding more junk that we don't need. They do the same with phones too. Loading more memory or faster processors isn't what works for me - what works for me is a lightweight device that works. I rarely use my iPad, but I wouldn't sell it because it serves a great purpose, which is as a tweener. The competition is trying to turn their tablets into souped up netbooks with touch screens, and that's why they are failing.
