Isnt the 16gb Nexus 7 BETTER at $199? If so, what is the point for North America anyway?

Pretty pointless seeing as they sell the nexus 7 which looks to have better specs in everything and is cheaper

Lol, pretty much identical to Galaxy Tab P1000 except for twice the RAM.

better make it $189 to compete with the Kindle Fire friend...

The world already has a cheap Asus 7" tablet...the Nexus 7. WTH?

 

[mrmaia]

The Nexus 7 is cheap in the US. In Africa, South America and some other markets, heavy taxing makes them quite expensive and such an alternative would be welcomed by them.

The mere fact that it isn't a Nexus tablet and won't get the latest updates at a fast rate (and maybe also have some bloatware skin) means it would have to be considerably cheaper than the Nexus 7, at least for me.
Even if the hardware was better at the same price.

Maybe $149?

I must agree with those thinking of the Nexus 7...but maybe Asus has some ace on the sleeve, I don't know anyways

the expandable memory to me makes it worth the extra money even if the specs aren't as great. the annoting thing about the nexus 7 is swapping media on the device. I would love to just buy a few sd card load some up with movies and different tv series to interchange memory cards on long trips.. then sagain most people don't travel as much and for as long a time as me so /shrug i am probably a niche market

In South Africa the cheapest you can find the Nexus 7 is R3,500 after import duties. That is around $400.
