The line between an “e-reader” and a “tablet” has been blurred even more with these two offerings and the tablet market itself is so competitive that it is transforming into multi-layered offerings that can result it savings for the consumer and rapid advancement in the sector. We have the offerings such as the Apple iPad and Samsung Galaxy tab for the high end market, the ASUS Eee-pad transformer and Toshiba Thrive for the mid market and now the Kindle Fire and Nook Tab who although feature rich are on the low end of the price scale.

    When did the Eee Pad for in the area of mid market? Are you referring to price point or power of the device?

    • just a generic price point division that supports my point that there is are divisions within the tablet market that is related to price and features, also as a result of the flood of tablets releases over the last year. This is the same for other markets and products such as cars.

      as it relates to tablets

      < $250 low end >250 < $400 mid > $400 high end

      • Aaahh I see but there are some locations selling the Asus Eee Pad Transformer for more that USD400.

        • The manufacturers suggested retail price for the transformer is $350. Some might sell it for more or less depending on supply and demand.

          • :Ooo is that a recent development? Because when I initially saw prices of the Eee Pad when it was just released it was close to USD500, it was around the mid to late USD400 regions.

    • Okay I see, well I was on Amazon and I can’t find it anywhere for USD350 so the supply must still not have reached a point to keep up with the demand.
