This piece echoes my feelings. Tech devices always start off expensive, then fall in price quite rapidly. So far tablet PCs haven't quite followed that trajectory. The potential 'iPad killers' that have come along so far are actually more expensive than Apple's product.
This writer suggests this may kill off the market. I doubt that. My feeling is that it's simply that manufacturers were caught flat-footed by the sales success of the iPad. After all, it's less than a year since it came to market. My guess is we're probably a year away from real competition in the form of a device which offers an experience to compete with the iPad at a significantly lower price.
