I don't see how that works, less capability is somehow worth more? So you are saying you'd rather get a netbook to do heavy CPU work then a powerful machine? A netbook after all isn't loaded with extras and it can compute just fine so why not pay more then that super fast expensive machine? Makes perfect sense.

Do a teardown of all components in device, assume that is actual cost due to them buying in bulk and the difference is enough to manufacture the device.

Walled garden a silly argument eh? Why is that? A deliberate limitation on what you can do with something you own is ok with you? What if I were to come to your home, lock up your television or refrigerator and told you that you can only watch or eat what I approve. How would you feel about that? You also must have a…

So you are fine giving Apple loads of extra money for nothing extra, lacking device, that they'll add a new feature in a year or less and increment it's number?

To bad you are stuck in the Apple walled garden. Also, with the keyboard dock the Eee Pad has higher functionality and longer battery life by a long shot justifying the increase in price.(It also has a microsd card slot on the device itself, the keyboard one is a fullsize SD card slot) I also mentioned the Acer Iconia…

That also increases battery life, thus making it full of awesome.

You could say the same about the iPad, sales aren't the same as day 1, nor any other device after the release week. The thing is Apple feels that they "deserve" they insane profits they are making. Their profit margins are absolutely obscene when it comes to how much money they make in respect to actual value of their…

Well that is interesting... A furniture store selling tablets... Now there is something I haven't seen.

Says the person with lots of typos. Also have you never heard of sarcasm? Am I not allowed to use sarcasm to emphasize my point that the iPad is basically a giant iPhone that truly is pointless and stuck in it's little walled garden? (And granted it's oldmemeisold but Apple was so asking for it when they called it the…

USB Ports on device? iGiantPhone doesn't, Android does.

+1 to that, central ac ftw

Better manufacturing practices? Higher factory output? Many factors can end up lowering cost and not all companies think they deserve ridiculous margins like Apple.

From where? That's crazy cheap!

Thats why it's called the Transformer you have a keyboard when you need it and a tablet when you don't.

And the fact that is has absolutely insane battery life with it attached helps too... (plus the USB ports and second sd card slot and etc etc etc)

The Eee Pad was routinely out of stock for months after release even with Asus pumping them out faster then loaves of bread. Overall they might be selling less then the MaxiPad but they are selling.

but all of the Android tablets suck

megaupload isn't that bad, make an account and they cut down wait time. the others though are kinda meh, but it doesn't hurt to have more then one place uploaded to.

[multiupload.com] works well enough for me when I need to upload to more then one place. Most of the time I just use [mediafire.com] or Dropbox public links though
