Frankly, I think that people have a right to be pissed about the pricing of RM999. Yes, I am well aware that we cannot expect the same pricing as US, as well as reseller profit margins. However, I cannot help but feel that we are being overcharged for a semi-crippled tablet. Only 16GB storage and no SD card slot for a device that is mean for media consumption? That might be acceptable if there were content streaming but...

Do you guys remember a year ago when ASUS put out a demo of the MEMO370t and basically had us all salivating at the prospect of a cheap yet full-featured tablet? Than Google came along, hijacked it, and made it into their official Nexus 7.

To sum it up, we've had an extended wait for a tablet that is low on storage space, does not have the content delivery to make up for it, but is being sold at a higher price point anyway. Is there not something wrong with that picture? Sure, we can root and use Stickmount but we should not have needed to dangle a thumb drive from a tablet that costs nearly 1k.

I would rather Google not have bothered to make their own tablet and ASUS delivered the planned Memo370t to us instead. That said, I'm still probably going to get a N7 anyway if only because I believe that the fruity company is far more evil. Sigh...
