It's also entirely false; original iPads are hundreds of dollars cheaper than when they came out. When the iPad HD comes out, the iPad 2's price will see a similar fall.

Can I just say this though? Both are excellent products. iOS v Android is nothing but personal preference, and both platforms do 99% of what the general population wants. I've heard developers say that the standardization of Apple makes things far easier to deal with than Android with a multitude of configurations to account for, but frankly, I don't give a damn about developers. Just make sure Vegas Hotel and Penultimate don't crash, and I'm good; I really am.

If Google really want to beat Apple at something, they should focus on inventing something new. Start the arms race to a functioning Holodeck. But the iPhone is still the single best-selling phone in the world, and they've built up so much brand loyalty, it's going to be very difficult for tablet sales to be stilted towards anything but iPad.

At the end of the day, the best thing both platforms do is function to make each other better.
