My complaint is not that said people (those who said no one could compete on price) are wrong, but that they totally miss the point. No one buys Apple products because they're cheaper.

These tablets look great, in terms of pricing and specs. But what will drive their success or lack thereof is the tightness and consistency of the overall experience. This is what Apple gets so well, even though delivering it flies in the face of so many things (lack of openness, vendor lock-in, app store approval policies, etc.).
