Major Android tablet makers are shooting themselves in the head before they even deliver the goods. Tying these tablets to cell carriers with forced contracts and fees is epic fail right out of the gate. Are they insane?

Where are the sub-$500 WiFi only tablets? No way am I going to buy a tablet with a two-year contract and monthly data charges or pay an outrageously over-priced unsubsidized amount to side step the carrier.

Apple has nothing to fear in the tablet market. They clearly control it for the foreseeable future. Looks like I'm stuck with my netbook.
