Somehow, having a crapload more hardware hasn't entered the author's analysis anywhere. Why would you expect 1GB of RAM to cost the same as 256mb?

I can't believe people are buying this tripe. I'm willing to put down $20 that by the holidays, you'll see cheaper android tablets (same specs, not this bullshit), any takers?

Unless you are able to create a superior experience for the final customer, how much hardware you have is not relevant...

I don't see what will change between now and christmas. Many of the android tablets are vaporware at this point so there is nothing to stop them from advertising that they'll be cheaper... yet they seem to be more expensive for the most part.

Well, you should go ahead and take my money then - I wasn't kidding about the bet.

What will change? First of all, the Xoom isn't spec-comparable to the iPad and second, other manufacturers will start shipping their tablets, bringing prices down.
