Comment on Google set to blow open the tablet market later this year with $99 Nexus tablet

Comments

If they do that, it will be HUGE here for us in Uruguay and other Latin American countries.

Any reduction in price means a 2x reduction here due to import taxes and other stuff, so a decent U$ 99 tablet will be the first quality sub-U$ 200 tablet here.

They will also be available for direct import - you can't buy most stuff online here without paying heavy taxes, but sub-U$ 200 after taxes and shipping can be imported directly for personal use.

I will personally buy several, if this is the case (one for me, one for my gf, and some for my family members).
