Finally, a tablet where the increase in price from 16GB to 32GB is somewhat reasonable.
I wonder if this retains the rubberized, ribbed, removable back cover which allows user access to the internal batteries.

Is this suppose to be a good deal? Or just an advertisement?

Does anyone even care about a 7 inch tablet for $379? I'd want something a bit bigger for that price, or something less expensive for that size.

Playbook price was 499 for 16GB until they did their fire sale. What are you on?

Current market value?

It wasn't a fire-sale because
-its still available
-the sale was only for 2 weeks

I got mine for 189 which is exactly half of $379,

So if you want to pay double for something just because of the slightly higher resolution and android then go ahead

7" tablet 'done right', but priced wrong(ly high). 7" ipad 2 it is not.

9.7" toshiba thirve is up for 299$ sale.
I don't know where the BS in this article came from. Someone has to drink less.

I was excited about this reading the article until I saw all of your cost comments... now I'm hoping this comes down. I was going to get the Transformer prime, but in reality I would prefer a 7" over a 10+". Something easier to carry around. But really, a refurbished first gen transformer can be purchased at newegg for around $350, which is the same specs but larger. So really, this should be cheaper.

Too expensive for what it does. If it comes with Android, expect many to only pay up to $250.
