For what it's worth, the original product as shown at CES was a real show stopper. But if Google is thinking they can some how get me spend less money to get a less capable product then they are dead wrong. I felt then and still feel that $250 is a reasonable price for a tablet that had the all the specs the 370t included. As far as I'm concerned release both the original 370t and what ever less expensive product and let the market be the judge. Minimum specs for me are the Tega 3 processor, 16g of memory, a working GPS sensor, and a decent screen. A back camera would be nice since I use the "Daily Journey" app, all other apps I already have what I need and will only consider what new ones will actually fit in with my life style. To repeat $250 is a great price for a 7 inch tablet and not have to live with the limitations of the Amazon or Nook products. Also to both Google and Asus "JUST RELEASE THE CONFOUNDED THING". Now Asus and Google have waited long enough to allow even more competition. Haven't they heard of "LOST SALES" Evidently Samsung feels that at $250 they can compete.

I was actually a bit disappointed in the new offering some Samsung. I appreciate the price drop, but for what they offering I find hard to accept. B&N and Amazon offered a very similar product MONTHS before. I was hoping for something a little more powerful. Not to mention after the heartbreak that I still suffer over my Galaxy Nexus, I'm just not sure that I want another Samsung device.

That being said, after seeing Asus' latest offering with the Transformer Pad 300, I am not sure that we will ever actually see this thing come to fruition. Anyone who has been around here for a while knows that we see tabs and phones that come out to certain places or never make... or even change a thousand times over before they see the daylight. I would love to get my hands on this, but I am not holding my breath on getting it anytime soon... if ever.

I have been waiting for this, THIS, tablet. I wish that I had the money to just throw away on a Transformer Prime, but I could get a decent laptop for the amount it would cost to pick one of those up with the keyboard. I appreciate the build quality and the specs, but I appreciate the pricetag even more. I have been waiting for quite a while to take the plunge into tablets and this is the one, but they are dragging their feet about releasing anything else about it. =(
