Meh. 1024x768 on an 8" screen doesn't sound too impressive to me. My S3 has a resolution of 1280x720 on a 5" screen which is large enough to double up as a pseudo tablet IMO.

Unless it's priced at $199 I can't see anybody buying this

Assuming it has the A6 and 16gb+ storage it doesn't need to hit a $199 pricepoint. It's pretty obvious at this point that people are willing to spend extra money on an Apple product/Premium product, even in this economy. And honestly my 2 week old Nexus 7 has not been a terrific experience, at this point I'm debating selling it and waiting for something new.

Fixed that for you

The Ipad 3 is still arguably the best 10 inch tablet out. And considering there are lots of people that have been inside the Apple app ecosystem for some time, they may actually see the cost of switching to a cheaper tablet higher, due to having to repurchase a number of apps. The 7 inch space isn't any better. The Nexus 7, while praised for it's price, is a disaster when it comes to reliability. The Kindle HD and stuff, doesn't even run the full version of Android/no playstore. So I really don't see how people are "stupid" for buying Apple tablets.

looks nice but why would i buy it when i already have an iphone (let alone any smartphone) :S?

I hope they've done something about the weight of these things. The iPad 3 is amazing and I'm even typing this on one but it is very "dense".

People saying those who buy Apple tablets are stupid clearly don't know what they are talking about, when it comes to tablets i have yet to see an Android one that comes near the iPad3

I agree. The ipad's build quality (and i phone as well) is head and shoulders above any of the competition.
