“sa brand pa lang quality naâ€¦” – parang Apple to ah!

ayon kay Gruber:

Lastly, consider the iPad. The first batch of competing tablets are coming with 7-inch displays. They say itâ€™s because they think thatâ€™s a better size. Steve Jobs, making an appearance on Appleâ€™s most-recent quarterly financial analyst call, said itâ€™s because 7-inch displays are cheaper, and no one else can afford to match the iPadâ€™s price with a comparably sized touchscreen display. Given that Verizon is selling the Galaxy Tab for $599 â€” just $30 less than the equivalent iPad â€” my money goes to Jobsâ€™s explanation.

iPods, iPhones, iPads. Across all of them, Appleâ€™s prices are either comparable, or lower, than their competition.

So whatâ€™s the difference between these devices and the PC industry? A few things, and they all work in Appleâ€™s favor.
