Exactly! For all the ipad owners, sure, the Nexus 7 might be called a budget tablet. But for the rest of us, it's not. My Nook HD, which was $99 new, is a budget tablet. Even the newest Kindle Fire I just ordered, for $129, can probably be called a budget tablet. Anything higher, I personally would not consider a budget tablet.

(Of course the new old-tech $50 tablet my SIL got for Christmas, I would consider using as a coaster. There are limits to my appreciation for cheap!)
