What would you pay for one? I'm thinking $299 for a wifi version and $399 for a 4G. Otherwise I would buy a Galaxy Tab 7.

I would pay $400 or so for a 64GB version with WiFi in fact that is what I am planning and I hope the cost is not too much more then this or I will buy the full sized IPAD instead.  I really like the size concept of the mini over the full sized IPAD so I have been waiting a long time hoping this was really going to happen.  until then, I am using my iphone 4s and old iphone 3GS (no longer on my cell plan) as my portable WiFi tablets.

I want a big tablet. Like 2-3 times the size of an Ipad.

Since when has Apple tried to compete on price.......................ever?  Expect $399, they only sell premium products to gullible college age kids, remember.

Or features....

Honestly, the iPad is one of the most frustrating devices I have ever owned.  The things it should do well are ruined by missing features and stupid design decisions.  I will definitely be going Adroid with my next purchase and hand down this glorified Etch-a-sketch to my kid or girlfriend.

I would love to see a few companies sue Apple over the smaller design. Sounds about as frivolous as some of the Apple suits against companies.

$250 is the most I'd go for one.

Android is a shitty phone os just like iOS.  Until we get osx, windows, Linux or another real os on tablets they will all be toys.  I like my iPad but if I could flash a better os and add removable storage I'd like it a lot better.

Just got a nexus 7 yesterday.  So far its a pretty slick little device for only $200, plus a $25 credit in the app store.  Not a lot of storage though... so far not an issue but I could see it becoming one eventually.  

But for $200, I can't complain.  And the new Android 4.1.1 is SLICK.  Much slicker than any previous version I've used.  It makes my bionic phone seem kinda old school.

anyone know some good apps for it?  Something optimized for a tablet?

32 GB and 4G for $399 and I'm all over it!

Still using the original iPad as I refuse to upgrade until they have a smaller version.

Expandable memory would be nice, but I won't hold my breath.

And everyone else sells shit to reactionaries.

I bought some sunglasses yesterday and the poor salesgirl tried to pull up a calculator function on a galaxy tab. Took at least 30 seconds.

Me: "Should've gotten an ipad."

Her: <Evil eye>

What advantage would it have over a kindle? I don't need an adapter to plug headphones or speakers into my fire. I can effortlessly stream amazon media with it, which has turned out to be better than I expected.  I don't have to use itunes to get jams on it either.

The only improvment I would like on my kindle is voice commands, like siri.

People are going to do only so much with a small pad, kindle does what I got it to do.
