Let's not forget that iPad was widely touted as being in the $800-1000 range by a whole host of 'experts' analysts and pundits before it was launched with the $499 bombshell in April. I'm sure Samsung will price Galaxy at a level they think it will sell best at, though I do find it telling that just a few short weeks away from launch and they haven't confirmed prices yet - if they were bringing this to market for significantly less than the iPad I think they'd be shouting it from the rooftops, and whilst I'm sure a well-specced 7" tablet from a reputable supplier that isn't Apple will do well, it does need to be priced appropriately.
Cheers, Pete
