		ugh on Nov 9, 2010 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Daring Fireball: Apple's Pricing Advantage I would very much like to know how exactly they can be so cheap. Their 10" tablet will sell for $350 (16GB), the spec-wise very similar 16GB iPad costs $150 more. (The one downside is that you cannot buy it yet, it’s supposed to be out “this fall”.) Oh, and if Archos can do that, why not Samsung?

Well, not shipping and the resolution on the screen is worse (1024 x 600).

iPad also has IPS screen that should cost some.
