No price on that one yet, but:

A Wacom EMR stylus for natural writing, drawing, and annotating comes as standard with this slim and light device.
Seems the acer is going to be around £/$330, so basically you're getting the stylus, twice the storage and probably memory for free compared with the apple iPad .Quote:

Mind you the new iPad does make me question the price of the iPad pro.... why is it like £300 more (obviously a little skewed due to extra storage) for what is essentially a slightly faster processor, more ram, a keyboard dock and a screen with less airgap

I would hazard a guess the IPod was discontinued because it encourages the user to listen to music that's locally stored, rather than listening via a subscription streaming service and paying for apps which I'd imagine is a significant source of revenue for Apple. I think the willingness of consumers to move to subscription streaming services is a big driver and Apple are more than happy to cater for that, considering that this approach is more financially rewarding.Quote:

The ipod was canned because sales tanked along with margins. Bit like the ipad, although margins are good sales have gone down for something like 3 years in a row. Thus this release. Majority of people I know have either got a tablet and a fine with it or don't want oneQuote:

Smartphones killed the ipod - with most people carrying a phone that can play mp3s (or do GPS, or act as a PDA...) the market almost completely dried up overnightQuote:
