Prices are simply a marketing thing. The $400 price to start out is
almost a test balloon. They think that at $400 they can successfully
sell the Nexus 7. If they price it too low then it may be placed in the
same category as the Kindle Fire and Nook Tablet. Over the next quarter
or two, they will
I stand corrected. Thanks Stephen.

Good article, but I don't see Apple as playing a leadership role. I see
everyone else playing a follower role.

I have one on order. Personally I think 7in is an ideal tablet size for

my needs. I use it for

That's because you're not looking at iPad for what it is. You see it as

The reviewers all seem quite impressed. Most benchmarks in the same

move around). Battery life as good as an iPad. Less weight than a Kindle
