Really? 150 Euros less? Is that the Transformer Prime or the original? I kept waiting for a good sale on the original Transformer (was hoping to get the TF+dock for $400 total). Having bought an HP TouchPad for $150 had a way of distorting expectations. After that, I wanted to buy the Prime but it was out of stock from my preferred seller (Amazon) and by the time it became available, the Transformer Pad Infinity was announced.
Still, even if that has made them regain interest, I reckon most would still choose an iPad over another tablet. In future, I expect we'll see the same thing as with Macs and PCs. The iPad would continue giving Apple high profit margins and Apple would have less market share while other hardware manufacturers duke it out based on price/specs and sell Android tablets for lower profit margins.

Under 30, then yeah, the
Android Market, sorry, Google Play would probably be well known. However, the iPad is well known even to folks who don't have smartphones and I know several who still use feature phones but have bought an iPad.
