Sony has knocked $100 off the price of its S series tablet, another sign that non-Apple tablet pricing is trending downward.

Just imagine they had not slashed the $100 from the tablet. So now, Sony would be selling a tablet for a profit margin of ATLEAST $100 on a $500 tab or 20% of the original price.

Wow... that's some great margin, which is atleast. :shock:

Now multiply it with all those expensive laptops Sony sells without such cutoffs!! Loot! :D

The Tablet price is 26,990 for wifi version. For the 3G + wifi version on Tablet S, the price version is Rs 33,990.
I tried it yesterday at Sony Centre, it worked very well and was pretty responsive as well.
