Are we trying to hard to mix what we want for the price versus the realities of the market? We just need to compare it relative to what's its main competition. Like someone I know is still waiting for a tablet with a removable battery.

All the other competitors in this space start at 16GB of local storage. The problem with Google is they are charging $80 to double your local storage. Others are only charging $50 at each subsequent iteration. With Samsung and Google, there is only one iteration, but at least Samsung has the option for expandable storage.
