Quite frankly, all of these items are "luxury" items, not necessity items. Adding to that is the fact that most of these are stripped down versions running old SW, or have features that up the price, but are not really necessary.

Now that HC is starting to ship, most are 10" which takes it out of the easy portable market. WTH happened to 7" tablets?

When they start to really ship and sell HC tablets with various price points, sizes smaller than 10", that have features that are worth the price, they might start selling more of them.

Providing people have jobs with enough disposable income to buy them.
