@dalethepcman I understand what you're going for here, and I completely agree that these tablets (along with all currently on the market) are overpriced, but your information is a tad off.
Acer Iconia A500 (16 GB): $400
Acer Iconia W500: $480 (at Amazon - best I found)
Asus EEE Transformer (16 GB): $400
If either the Acer or the Asus had managed to come in at the $300 price point, I would have given them a stronger consideration, but as is they too remain overpriced, especially with the severe lack of Android tablet applications, and the poor choices on Nvidia's part as far as the architecture of the Tegra 2 chipset, which are going to haunt these Sony tabs as well.
