All of this is important. A lot of people are still asking themselves why they need a tablet, and while: (1) Apple has been pretty good at showing people using the iPad in useful ways; and (2) Amazon has also done a good job of showing people what they could use a tablet for, in a different way; but (3) other Android manufacturers have not been produced a compelling or coherent message. The tablet market is too immature to just present a tablet without more explanation...and as good as the hardware on Asus tablets may be, "Look, here's a tablet. And for $150 you can add a keyboard!" isn't a very compelling narrative to people who don't yet know if they want a tablet.

Also, going for a spot not already occupied by the iPad is a very smart idea.
