That shyt will be $250 by Christmas. Ain't nobody trying to pay that much for a phone on contract, rebate or not.

It's $250 now on a value plan

That price is only for people like me still on the classic plan

It's also $279 online at wirefly and newegg but they are back ordered already

Let's keep it 100 breh, when it comes to apps, the iPad DESTROY Android tablets. My first tablet was the Transformer Prime, and one of the reasons I brought it back was because of the lack of tablet specific apps. I went and copped an iPad 3 and there's no way I'd cop an Android tablet until they catch up significantly. That's not even marketing or hype, that's just straight facts.

I agree with this ..

The mini is still overpriced tho imo

Why are we focused on tablet apps. Android is still a young tablet platform. Samsung will get their minds right soon. Asus might get better but their quality suck.

Why are we focused on tablet apps.

Because the apps essentially make the platform. As a platform, I despise iOS and loved ICS. From widgets to everything being in the cloud; but using apps designed for a 4" screen on a 10" tablet just doesn't work very well. Most apps aren't optimized for tablets on the Play Store. And when it comes down to it, apps make or break the device for me. I've used both, and I'm goog set all day, but I gotta give props where props is due, and the iPad got the app game on smash.

Android is still a young tablet platform. Samsung will get their minds right soon. Asus might get better but their quality suck.

Android is only a year younger than iOS, so let's not act like Apple gotta 15 year head start or some shyt. The hardware without good software is irrelevant. Samsung and Asus isn't the problem. The problem is that developers aren't creating tablet optimized applications for the platform. That's what's hurting Android in the long run. If there was parity between the two, ain't no way in HELL I woulda copped an iPad.

I pay $99 for 2 lines with unlimited talk, text, and 2 GB of data at T-Mobile. My job pays for my line, so I only pay $50 for my girl's line. I'm thinking about upgrading my data to unlimited, but I usually only use 1 GB a month. I'm thinking about canceling my XM subscription and rolling with internet radio through Bluetooth on my phone for the car though.
