I have never disagreed with this. I have always qualified my statements with "at some point" and "cheap" and "better." But this is generally the case with all technology, from hard drives, to CDs and DVDs, to mp3 players.
But I should state the obvious, that $100 may be the tipping point in certain parts of the world, while in others, $20 would still be too much. Technically, if we expand this argument, one can claim, that indoor toilets are still a "niche" item in many parts of the world. This was my point, when I asked, what's the point with all the "in my neighborhood" chest-beating.
