Price Awareness

I don’t get the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7. It’s a pretty standard tablet, with LTE as the standout feature. It’s a 7.7″ model. It runs Android 3.3 — in theory ICS will come in the future, but we hear that a lot. At 16 GB of storage, it retails for $499 with a two year contract. How does that make sense when the 16 GB iPad 2 is selling for $580 no contract at Best Buy? And where’s the cheaper WiFi model?

Yeah, I was certainly exaggerating my lack of need for a tablet; I was just really surprised that once I upgraded from the old Droid, I stopped touching the tablet at all.

And I definitely agree with you on comics - it's honestly the best form factor for reading comics I've ever experienced. (Rotating my 21" monitor to a portrait orientation and sitting 12" away from it was a close second.)

I can imagine the bigger phone reducing my usage. I actually use the iPad less for small stuff than I did when I got it; the iPhone is just more convenient, often.
