Finally, prices are moving towards where they should be for a device with such limited usage.

Pick up a Playbook ($299 for a 64GB model) and side-load EVERYTHING you want.

Problem solved.

i've chosen qube qtouch instead of android tablet for the reason on the article, needs software compatible at work. 2hours of charging and 10+ hours of usage. but not good experience on win7 but i am hoping that when final release of win8, browsing experience of swiping like in the ipad will be achieve

7" - no thanks.
Crappy cheapo screen - no way. (and no, I'm not talking about high resolution, but about contrast/viewing angle/gamut)

Cheap tablets are not rocket science. Chinese are selling "Crappy cheapo screen" tablets for $50-$60 and they are going to flood ebay soon with upgraded A9 processors, 512MB RAM and fullhd hdmi support, soon for less than $80. Nvidia, Google and others made enough pocket money by now and they are just starting to acknowledge that they can't fight Apple, not yet anyway, with Apple prices.

I wish Nvidia would release a chip with a better GPU in time for Windows 8. But I guess I'll have to wait for next year to get both (new chip and W8 tablet).

I'll have to see it to believe it.

7-11??? to high class. until I can pick one up from a Mr. M's food mart for $175 so I have enough left to score a dime back around back on the way out Ill keep waiting!

You can get them at 7-11. Perfect for Android. My grocery store sells several different tablets from the likes of Coby and others. This will fit right in. A good processor surrounded by a cheap case and sub-par screen.

i don't care much about processing power. what's missing on the market is an affordable tablet WITH A DIGITIZER STYLUS and a decently current system version. Samsung sold 5 Million Galaxy Notes (and those were very expensive). Imagine the success of an affordable device that would allow to make hand-written notes and drawings right on the screen... why is there still none available?

I'm not sure which is more useless between the two 3D on a tablet or a retina display, but I'm leaning towards the retina display the 3D seems more practical for a tablet then a display resolution higher then the average desktop PC even utilizes on substantially bigger monitors.

The Apple display seems to scream eyestrain unless trying to view it under a magnifying glass and probably over prolonged use detrimental peoples peripheral vision as well focusing their eyes on such a small area for so long.

How they thought putting a screen resolution greater then 1080P on a screen about a quarter the size of a typical 21" or bigger in size 1080P monitor even is was a good idea is beyond me and shows you how far reaching and out of touch Apple is.
