While $ 300 for a Tablet may seem insanely high after this weekend $ 100 TouchPad frenzy, it's still a worthy buy. I still found it difficult to recommend that the existing budget honeycomb tablets on the iPad when I say to people who are not in the tech, and this makes his case even stronger. iPad or netbook? For some people the choice is obvious, others not so much. At $ 300, but not both good deals.
Still not sure? Let's take a look at other options. The new Acer Iconia A100 is only $ 20 more than the iPad's specs, but 7, 16: 9 screen may not be enough for people. Lenovo K1 does not strike me as the quality of the Tablet, and ThinkPad Tablet (while it looks great) is not in the same League. Sony S1 and S2 would be interesting, but not for awhile.
The only real competition, I would say is a refurb corner color. I never had much good to say about these things, but at $ 180, they come with the support and the community of hackers who all can be proud of. (E) the reader I am not a fan of LCD stuff, in the form of a pill, this budget is not half bad.
And of course, you can get a coin for a hundred bucks, but you'd better buy RIM stock. Well not he
Get your $ 299 iPad here at the Apple Store. Yes you could make Craigslist, but you don't know what they did to this stuff.
