There was nothing inaccurate in my comparison but many people in the EU don't realize that US prices don't include sales tax.

I also found out that Germany has something called a copyright tax which is also included in your price.

American prices and their lack of included sales tax are irrelevant when you have the official eu prices for both items readily available with those clearly demonstrating the inaccuracy of your claim that the prices are equivalent.

At the end of the day, price is unlikely to be a deciding factor for somebody buying a tablet anyway and your usual need to white knight anything apple do was misplaced.

Battery life and screen ratio are the main flaws for me.

I really want 8+ hours battery, and a 16x9 screen just isn't great for working with documents in portrait mode which is my main tablet need.

I'd kill for a tablet that's basically an iPad with an open file system and an 8.5"x11" screen.

I'd kill for one like that too, just so it would shut you up.

If I annoy you with repetitiveness, there's always the ignore user feature which is much preferable to trolling my posts with snide comments.
