Yup, and you may thank Apple's pricing structure for that, plus the tab manufactures failure to learn from Asus' lesson when they started the netbook revolution. If people think they can get a competitor for a MacBook Air for one third the price they'll buy a ton of them, but if they have to pay 80% to 100%, they’ll buy the Mac. Same with iTabs and Galaxy Tabs.
