>Who would purchase a $500 Samsung tablet when $199 will get you a slate “of the highest quality” that will also be the first such device to receive new software updates as they become available?

Someone who didn't want a basic 7" tablet? That's like wondering who would ever purchase a $1k laptop when $250 netbooks exist.

I think the idea is that the new tablet would be higher quality. So the question seems valid: who would pay more for an inferior product?
