While you are all technically right that the iPad 32GB/wifi+3g is comparable to the Xoom, it isn't in the mind of consumers. Consumers will compare $500 v. $800. After all, Apple's $1500 laptop is not spec-wise comparable to a $500 Windows laptop but that doesn't make a difference. I am betting on Apple releasing a $300 iPad in April.
Exactly. The problem isn't the price to features ratio, its the "lowest priced version" option. And somehow, its Apple that's offering the most choice there.
