I looked at a Xoom the other day but like many I just don't see the value for the price. ..
Sooo, long way to say, if B&N can sell the NC for $250 and show a profit then any of the other device makers can do the same selling a slate with all the options for $350-$399 and not sweat it. ... |
Not exactly. The nook color does not have the same technical capabilities as the Xoom and neither does the iPad2. The early adopters pay a dear price for that. Xoom is no different....price has already dropped a bit ($200) with the wi-fi only release this past weekend. Am I bitter. No not really. Do I enjoy paying $35/mo for a 3GB data plan? No. But I also think of it as insurance for those few times I'm no where near a wi-fi provider but have cell coverage.
Oh and btw I'm considering getting a nook as an additional device since it is definitely a great device for the price, particularly when it can be rooted and possibly "upgraded" to Honeycomb/Android 3.
