But if you look at market segment positioning, I'd guess they will produce something that they can sell for $225-275. They might even have two models - a low end with wifi only, and a high end with wifi & 3g.
I can't picture them producing a tablet without a touchscreen. In what sense is a computer a tablet, without a touchscreen?

I think the sweet spot for a tablet has to be at least 7". The 5" tablets I've seen have gotten some criticism for being between a tablet and a smartphone in size, and I think 6" isn't a significant enough difference there.
