Would you buy an inferior tablet, over an iPad, if it was priced at less than $200? #RWWBigQuestion

Many of you took offense at the way the question was phrased. Honestly, that's a fair assessment. I meant inferior to mean one that was less than what you wanted, and added iPad after the fact. Read altogether it does seem biased. Apologies.

  1. Yes, for a steal.

    @RWW I see a role for "cheap" tablets. Didja see the AT&T ad in which an EMT shows inbound patient to a doc via a tablet? That's the future.

    @RWW Yes. iPads are cool, but too expensive for what they offer.

    @RWW Not *over* an iPad, in *addition* to an ipad.

    @RWW Yes, If it is powered with Android, as a toy for kids. But it may end up as a video player, if its an inferior quality

    @RWW It depends on whether I felt the community was going to rise up to make the low priced tablet more useable.

    @RWW I am right now waiting for the TouchPad to drop in price any minute in the UK. It'll tide me over nicely till the iPad 3.

    @RWW Loads of people are buying @hp #Touchpads at just $100, and that's a defunct product.

    @RWW #RWWBigQuestion - Yes, if it had a richer browsing experience ie: including Flash. This is still a major pain with the IOS devices.

    @RWW I’d buy a tablet cheaper & dumber than an iPad if it did one thing really well. Like a Kindle, for instance. #RWWBigQuestion

    we got an HP Touchpad here in Canada yesterday for our father in law who is not an Apple guy, he's thrilled! I love my Samsung Tablet with Flash. I had one of the first iPads in Canada (I won it from simplyhired.com) and I found it was too big.

    Depends on it's performance ehancements? If the discrepancy is really big, may not be worthwhile

    @RWW @rassina would you buy a Toyota, instead of a Ferrari, if it cost $200,000 less?

    i bought the galaxy tab about 6 months ago for $200. The only issue I have with it is battery life. Since I never used an iPad, I cannot say which I prefer.

    Well I love my NookColor and it was only $249. I definitely think it was the best choice for me and if I had to do it over again I wouldn't choose differently.
