I can buy a Macbook pro for that price though if I want a lot more. The whole point of a tablet is to be its own device not a reincarnation of something we already have. Windows is coming out with a more tablet friendly OS in the future Id wait rather than dropping massive bread on this.

[h4]Samsung finds parts of Galaxy Tab 10.1 'inadequate' compared to iPad 2, reconsiders pricing[/h4]
By Vlad Savov posted Mar 4th 2011 7:34AM


Whether you love or loathe Apple, you have to be happy with the company's aggressive upgrade of the iPad. It has led to Samsung, purveyor of an Android 3.0 tablet by the name of Galaxy Tab 10.1, to look more closely at its own hardware and pricing model and, according to executive VP Lee Don-Joo, "improve the parts that are inadequate." We don't know what those are, specifically, however he notes that "Apple made [the iPad 2] very thin" and also goes on to say that Samsung will be rethinking its pricing strategy with the Tab 10.1. It was originally going to cost more than the 7-inch Galaxy Tab, but in light of Apple's new product, Samsung might have to cut into its profit margins... or maybe even forgo profits altogether to make its new Tab a success.

interesting device but i feel that is way more than i would need for a tablet & it cost way more than i'd want to spend.
& yes i could use it as a "laptop" but i'd have to walk around with that keyboard + its heavy.

Which article are you referring too? Quite skeptical that an apple employee would be talking about the iPad 3 when the iPad 2 was only confirmed like 3 weeks ago...

We’ve received some tidbits of information about the iPad 2 launch tomorrow from an Apple staffer:

* MobileMe is being revamped with cloud storage features.
* The iPad 2 is a ho-hum update. It’s more of a speed bump than a redesign.
* The iPad 3 is the one to get excited about, and it’s on track for release later this year.

The Apple staffer, who asked to remain anonymous for obvious reasons, said the new MobileMe service will store music, TV shows, and films that were purchased from the iTunes store. The staffer also said that there was talk inside Apple of being able to upload all your music and videos to the cloud whether it was purchased from iTunes or not. However, they couldn’t confirm whether this will be rolled out or not. Before Apple bought it, the LaLa music service allowed users to upload music to an online locker for streaming to any device. There has been a lot of speculation that Apple would roll LaLa’s service into iTunes to create a streaming music service.

The Apple staffer declined to give details about the iPad 2 or 3, but said:

“For the iPad 2 don’t get your hopes up too high. That’s all I’m going to say. They’ve had a number of problems along the way, and the third-generation iPad is the one to make a song and a dance about.

For real though ipad 3 to release later this year?

I don't want to get ipad 2 if in a couple of months they plan on launching a whole new model.

I don't think apple is dumb enought to do that though
