Galaxy Tab 10.1 Vs. iPad 2 Review

DeviceGuru writes "DeviceGuru's 10-inch tablet smackdown pits Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1 against Apple's iPad 2. At price parity the iPad 2 is probably a better bet for the average user since it's a more stable, near-perfect device with a rich assortment of apps for nearly every possible function you'd like to perform on a tablet, reasons the post. However, with the Samsung tablet's cost of goods rumored to be around $215 versus $260 for the iPad 2 for comparable models, Samsung could drop its 10-inch tablet's price to $425 and pose a serious challenge to Apple's device. But will they...?"

Something I've never understood

Here's something I've never understood...

Samsung could drop its 10-inch tablet's price to $425 and pose a serious challenge to Apple's device. But will they...?

Why would anyone trade so much away for 10% of the price in a luxury market?

There's no way I'd drop most of my half of a mortgage payment on something that "kinda works sometimes" when I could just toss in the cost of a nice night out and get the top of the line...

Imagine if the decision was to buy the yugo for $9K or the BMW for $10K. You can have a grilled to perfection steak dinner for $5 or save a whopping 50 cents by having a three day old mcdonalds burger instead. Would I still be married if I told her to buy a $900 pair of sweatpants and teeshirt from walmart instead of a kilobuck wedding dress? Why throw down do much cash but not finish the job?

Now if it didn't really work, but it was 1/4 the price, Oh I'd find a way, even if it involved desoldering and remanufacturing. But almost but not quite the same cost? Forget it.
