as for the price, Tony, I am sure it is a difference on how much profit is being made by the company. the smaller the company, the less overhead, the less overhead the more you can make by selling at a lower price.

personal example…
about 8 years ago I was involved with setting up a new magazine (never happend, the owner’s wife had a full 50% ownership and did not want to do it because it required a loan attached to her SSN of $80k, anyways…). with a staff of 4 full time, 3 writers and the 4th as an editor, plus 6-8 part time writers, who’s articles were edited by all 4 the full timers, it was possible (we had everything set up, from the printer to the distribution company and even the advertisers were ready to go) for us to make a 6 issue per year magazine at 120-180 pages per issue, where the total cost per issue was 200% covered by the advertisements for a 2-4 million issue print run. on top of that the distributer would have paid $2 per issue to us. you do the math on that for 6 issues per year for a magazine run out of a house that we (3 of the 4) rented for $850 per month.

Price $321 , sure,and I see little pink unicorns at the zoo. Just look at something like the archos 5 android, much smaller device from a much larger established device manufacturer and more limited and it goes for $400+ , so its very doubtful a larger more feature rich tablet well see it for less. I say double the price and then you have a better ballpark.

Finally, a 180-degree rotating camera! It’s about damn time.

I seriously wish the FCC would make it a new rule that every phone released from now on both front and rear-facing cameras, or a rotating camera.

Bring on the age of video calling!!!

“Nice try at summing it up, but I’m pretty sure that’s an exaggeration. If you disagree, feel free to try and carry it through any of your body’s orifices and let me know how that goes.”
