    Apple missed the plot regarding pricing of 7" tablets? Some of us may say they've missed the plot with the whole of their pricing but it doesn't really seem to have harmed them that much...

    Re: News - Google Nexus 7 16GB price-drop signals arrival of 32GB variant

    Im interested to find out some pricing for the 32GB 3G model (there is going to be one, right?). I have been tethering to my phone so far but if i can get a decent data plan version for a reasonable price, i might sell and move on.

    The Nexus tablets have been Wifi only, so far, part of the reason for the low pricing of them.

    Re: News - Google Nexus 7 16GB price-drop signals arrival of 32GB variant

    32GB @ £199 and 16GB @ £159 sounds great. Does this mean that there's a chance that the (presumably dropped) 8GB will also get a price cut? If so, then £99 for the 8GB would surely see them fly off of the shelves!

    Of course, there's some folks I know who'd still insist that the reason that the iP Mini is £100 more expensive is that "it's £100 better" (at least they didn't say "it's £100 more magical" - because this'd have me reaching for the sick bags).

    IMHO iProducts are mostly bought by people who fit one of these profiles:
    - A perception of owning "the stylish best thing" is more important than price/benefit ratio (same reason people buy designer jeans etc)
    - Already investment-locked into iTunes
    - Non-technical but want smartphone/tablet rather than feature phone and paper so buy the colourful and simple iOS product (and it is fairly idiot-proof, credit to Apple there)
    - An quick and easy buy - i.e. follow the crowd and can't go far wrong, the media love it after all

    As a geeky nerd with many computers I find iProducts irritatingly limited for tinkering, iTunes makes me want to go postal with its controlling idiocy and instability, also my eyes are terrible so Retina screens are largely wasted on me.

    If you look only at internal hardware specs and pricing then Apple wouldn't sell anywhere near as many units, iPads & iPhones would occupy the same % of the market Macs do. Much of Apple's astounding success is down to marketing, perception of style, media brown-nosing and sheepery.

    I would have thought a 3G version would eventually appear if they can get the price right

    Interesting. The 16Gb one at £159 could become my happy Xmas to me present.

    I'll add another reason, and this is exactly why I'll be buying an iPad for my wife:
    - One or more essential apps are only available on the iPad

    She needs it for creating music, there are fantastic apps that she knows will work (she's seen friends using them), Garage Band is one, and that will never be released on Android.

    Nah, never used it. That might not be one that she will be using, I'm not interested enough to really find out.

    But she knows professional musicians that use their iPads all the time for writing and managing their own music.

    GarageBand for the iPad is pretty damn good, though you interact with virtual instruments... I'm personally a little more procedural in generating sounds, it depends on what you're best working with, tho it's no doubt great for hashing up a quick idea or trying a tune to master seriously when you get back on the computer.
