The $199 price point for Z3000 tablets was floated by Intel at the chip intro.

That would be the lowest of the low end *android* configurations.
My guess is $300 will be the range for the lower end HD Venues and the FullHD models with lots of space will run $400, making both competitive with the name brand 8" android tablets and iPad Mini 1&2.

Still lust-worthy for what they are.
Would be nice if Dell returned to its rock-bottom pricing roots and they came in at $249 and $349, but since those are WinTabs they're not likely to ship with 1GB RAM and 8GB storage like the cheaper Android products.
