2. Moto should have started with the WiFi only version first, seen if people were interested and moved up from there... but entering the market at $800 with no appreciable "big win" over the comparable iPad (that is cheaper)?
Why would you do that.
Independent of price-point, it does have a few key advantages, especially for people who already have an Android-device or not any Apple equipment:
- No need to install iTunes. No iOS. No Apple-bullshit. I know it's not the common way to see things, especially here on HN, but to me that is a significant bonus. I'm not buying anything which requires me to install iTunes ever again. I'm trough with that shit.
- No need to rebuy the same apps for another platform. I have an Android-phone, I have invested in apps for that platform. I'd like to have the same apps on my tablet as on my phone, and if possible avoid double billing. An Android-based tablet would fit this need perfectly.
So while the price is definitely stretching it, saying it has nothing over the iPad is a matter of perception.
