I'm not sure what the purpose of this post is?

Is it to show how expensive the iPad is, or to show how little Chinese workers earn on average?

When I was younger and less experienced as a developer, I worked as the groundskeeper for some posh apartments that I would never be able to afford. Is this the same thing?

Workers working at an assembly line factory don't make much money. I don't think that's news to anyone.

Thank you very much for the feedback, I've updated my post with a little section on what this means.

Not really sure about what is unfair about it. An iPad and iPhone is a luxury item.

It's actually startlingly easy for a worker in China to be able to afford something as amazing as a tablet computer.

There are certainly concerns about the factory "cities" that the workers have to live in and spend 95% of their annual income on.
