AMD joins MeeGo

I see them used both at homes and at work, more than I would guess since they can actually be a bit annoying. ;) I think that people think they make good gifts.

> > I was implying that you would not give a currently priced Ipad to your 4 year old.

Because an ipad is currently priced around ~$500 (or above). Emphasis or not, read the sentence, it certainly fits with my explanation of what I meant, and it does not fit with your scenario (a device which does not cost > $500). Please explain why you don't think it does, and how your scenario relates to an ipad which costs > $500.

>> the Folio100, that was a $1000 device? Of course, it was going to fail. It is exactly the kind of device that has no chance of ever competing with the ipad!
> No, it was selling for £329 I think.

Well, from your first link, first sentence:

"£999.99 ($1,612) for a Toshiba Folio 100?! That's a fair bit more expensive than its original $560 price point"...

From your second link:

"Dixons stores this weekend began charging a bonkers £999 for Toshiba's £329 Folio 100 Android tablet, apparently in an attempt to dissuade punters from buying the product."

Apparently it never actually sold at your price point. Vaporprice?

however I do see a lot of the low-end ones used in people's offices. some of them with resolutions as low as 640x480. On a 5" screen at 3' that's not a bad resolution, and that's a normal viewing range for pictures on someone's desk.
