nope..
rooting have different purpose than jailbreak.. no no no.. they are different.. i dont think i need to say more on this, as it has been discussed many times elsewhere.. i use both android and ios, i know both environment pretty well..
regarding the pricing and storage capacity, simple, they could just standardize the price, and let consumer to choose either to expand the memory storage later. it is because also there is a wide range of microSD card out there, so why not give consumer choices of what suites them.
who said samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is the best selling model for Android device? LOL. there is a wide range of choices out there. as for myself, i'm using SG Tab 7.7.. it got everything i need, decent camera, decent display (super amoled plus), expandable storage, 3G and phone funtionality, and i bought it at RM1750, way cheaper than the 3G version of ipad. but, i have to admit, the OS is not as smooth as iOS (unless if i root to enhance its performance<< thats the perpose of rooting, not to install pirated apps.. LOL ).. so, i wish Apple as opened as android environment, then i would not look back to other brand.

oppss.. this is out of topic.. sorry TS
P/S: i don't jailbreak my iDevice
I have a Galaxy S phone and the performance is very poor. Keep changing rom to find a good one but till today there is none that can reach the performance of the IOS. Even the 3GS perform way better.
In the end i realise.....
