$600 for a tablet?

[MikeTodd]

I've been seeing a lot of new tablets from China with Tegra 2 based processors. Two points stand out for me. First, China tablet pricing has gone way up for so called 'high end' pads. Sorry, If you don't have someone specifically supporting the product with customizations IMHO at best your purchase is a crap shoot. Second, I have a very hard time justifying another tablet until I see specific applications geared toward my profession...Engineering. I feel like I'm reliving the eighties and nineties again when the focus was on the hardware. Those were exciting times. All of us built our white box servers and workstations but years later we bought something which was turn-key. I'm trying to adhere to the lesson I learned about buying into the hype. I must admit I love reading about tablet technology.
