The events surrounding this device are unfortunate. It's pretty cool to me that a small company was able to build something that consumers seem to want but none of the big players have provided (yet). However, I'm still on the sideline till Apple releases their tablet. My main requirement is a modest level of synergy at the OS level because I don't live on web-apps. Certainly not everyone requires this but I do if I'm spending upwards of $500+. Had the joojoo launched at $200, I probably wouldn't be as picky about it.
For $200 you can't even buy a device that only does Twitter. I'm guessing the Apple tablet is going to be around $1K minimum, which will make this $500 (soon to be $400) tablet look like a bargain.
yeah, when TC announced $200 price for the crunchpad I thought it was a bit out of control considering AT&T covers about half the retail price of the iPhone.
i'm expecting to pay about 1-1.5k for the Apple tablet and i think i'll be fine with that if it delivers a great tablet experience, hopefully unlike Apple TV for the TV.
