yup...that's the BIG QUESTION MARK.

And right now, the two affordable players are Amazon and Google. As demonstrated by their 7" Tablet at $199.

With cost of "parts" going down each passing weeks (Kindle Fire used to cost something like $200 to make a year ago and it is now around $140 according to Isupply breakdown), it is possible in 2013 for a 5.5" tablet to cost $149. It might even be possible right now for a break-even player like Amazon or Google.

Maybe even a 5.3" tablet (the same size as the Galaxy Note).

Galaxy Note vs Iphone4S Size





5.3" tablet or 5.5" tablet as a "gateway" tablet for tweeners or young teens.
