I think it's pretty unlikely that a 10" tablet (and that seems to be the commonly-accepted spec) could cost under $500, when the current top-end iPod Touch costs $400. Certainly you can buy a laptop for the price of an iPod Touch, but they aren't really trying to compete with one another. I would bet that the overwhelming majority of Touch owners also own a laptop.
