for me I will not spend beyond the $200-$300 range for a non-Slate PC level device and even then my upper limit will be $500. There is nothing in these devices which has any higher component costs than the typical $300 netbook. And given the software,OS and apps, are far from mature and thus not fully capable, I am again leaning back to buying nothing again this year in my search for a large format device. I would rather spend $300 for a pocket sized, well 5"-7" device with 3G and wifi than $700-$800 for a device not able to function at least as well as a netbook running a full OS.
