Absolutely, I recently looked at Ali Express and nowadays you can even get tablets for < $50. So something like a factor of 10 in 3 years. If this continuous, then tablets will probably become simple impulse buys in another five years. Just as magazines are today. ( I have no idea what that means...) Amazing times indeed. |

I do. My wife got two tablets yesterday: an iPad rMini (upgrade from iPad 1, thanks Target for the $200 trade-in), and a Kindle (thanks Amazon for the limited-release offer) for $29. Purpose? about the same as a magazine: light reading, news, advertising. Considering that magazines today run a newsstand price of about $5, yeah we're on a trajectory for selling tablets dirt-cheap as dedicated disposable pre-packaged content viewers.
