Google wants Tablets to use Google Chrome as an OS not Android. They want everyone to use web apps, not native apps as their business model is still so largely rooted in web-based advertising. In-app advertising gives them less control.

Hence they have been very closed-fisted about supporting the tablet form factor with Android.

these all sound priced way too high for any mass market appeal. iPAD buyers will pay a high premium for the apple brand. everything else needs to be under $300.

The Tab is an awesome device and importantly has access to the Market. For me it hits the sweet spot in size and capability and is an infinitely more attractive prospect than the iPad which looks clumsy and dated by comparison.

However, the reality is if the Tab isn’t priced at less than the iPad it isn’t going to sell that well. That’s just the power of Apple’s brand. If they do get it right then with Samsung’s distribution and carrier support it’ll sell millions.

Since Android is supposedly totally open, why no Google Marketplace? Can’t the geek boys just root it or something like they do with everything else so that it can access the Google Marketplace. It sounds like this company is deliberately trying to cripple these tablets.

So why is Google refusing market access to so many tablets? And why are they against WiFi only models??? Are they that enslaved to Verizon?

No WiFi only == no chance of ever catching either the iPad or iPod Touch.
