where are you getting those prices from?

even at those prices there arent many if any convertibles available for that price which would do as nice a job as the iPad(by nice i mean with as good a quality screen for sharing the view with others, mice and light for passing around, as simple a way of letting non computer literates navigate.

if you want to choose inferior screen device for the main purpose of looking at pictures then thats absolutely fine but just because there us a cheaper lower standard device available doesnt mean the iPad is overpriced.
