One of the good things about all this "tablet war" is that at some point prices will go down, I have no doubts about it. I'm guessing here but probably end of year or beginning of 2012 we will find something in the $400 range and something good, not a piece of junk.
I'm not a big Apple's fan but I've read several articles that are pointing to a price drop for current iPads too, giving the case its new version is coming pretty soon. That's a direct result of Samsung and Motorola recent releases.
By the way, SCION
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10" with Honeycomb will be launched or show this Sunday!
... no wonder why Apple is rushing their new device.
