Sorry, I thought the discussion was about Nexus devices. The original Galaxy Tab wasn't exactly a cutting-edge device, and it was retailing for a significantly higher price than the iPad. Almost double the price for a long time after the launch. It's hardly surprising that the gross margin was high.
That's a very different case to the much more aggressive pricing used for the Nexus 7 (publically stated to be selling with no margins) and the Galaxy Nexus. And the new Chromebook too, come to think of it. I guess it's possible that they're switching strategies again. So yeah, if these are priced at $600, I'm sure there's a healthy margin on the few units they manage to sell. But until prices are announced, I see little reason to think that there is such a strategy change.
