You might be correct, but that money doesn't go only to Asus or Motorola or Acer or Samsung. There are tens of other components in the tablet that are made by other companies (touch screens, cpus, DRAM, usb controllers, LEDs, gyroscopes, network controllers, etc). Each one of these companies needs money to survive and spend more on R&D and innovate even more. This ultimately leads to more competition, and reduced prices, which reflects back to the consumer. I think it's a very naive point of view. Not all corporations are evil.
