Google Nexus tablet specs, release date, price and more: rumor round-up

You could be right, but I think there is a strong demand for a tablet like this. Powerful, yet affordable. I personally would jump on one of these especially if it manages to come in at the $199 price point. iPads are no doubt nice items, but the prices of them keep me away. A tablet would not be much more than a toy for me anyway....

i have an iphone and after messing around on my buddies ASUS transformer 300 tab, id have to honestly say that im hooked. not only is the price 200 cheaper than an iPad but its also different from my phone and thats what i want. i dont want another apple product if its just a bigger iphone. i probably wont hold out for this though. definitely a good choice to go with ASUS.

biggest question with Asus is does Asus have the manufacturing capacity?

Both transformers had issues with meeting demands during the launch

I've actually fallen in love with the Asus Android Transformer series and the keyboard dock it offers. I wouldn't really think of getting anything different unless it offered something similar.

one... youre an idiot for thinking all iphone users are the same. that would be like saying all burger joints are the same. noob.

two... i have an iphone and im more interested in an ASUS transformer tab. noob x2.

three... a lot of people go for what the are familiar with. my dad has only driven toyotas my whole life. these people who buy iphones then ipads dont want to take the time to learn a whole new OS, regardless of what they have to pay and apple knows that. noob x3

Two fails in what you just said.

1. Not everyone wants the bigger tablet. Some people actually prefer the smaller tablet for better portability.

2. The word "refurbished" can be a killer. I won't pay more for something that is refurbished that doesn't have a flash player, i.e. an outdated tablet, I don't care what the screen size is.

But, if Apple does release an 8" iPad3 at a good price point, that will indeed put pressure on the competitors.

Personally, I'll still go for the Nexus tablet.=)
