Seriously? Are technology geeks THAT limited in their thinking. The tablet market is a HUGE market for Seniors. (not High School Seniors...elderly) These wise people know there is no need to 1. have a wifi at home with the cost of hardware and and Internet Service Provider, and 2. learn the computer technology just so you can use a tablet. The dumbest thing any of the tablet brainiacs think is that there has to be a wifi connection in a home. No. People use the tablet because it IS NOT A PC. The reason the people of this huge market have a tablet is because for the first time, it is a computer device that they can work as a true consumer device. So a tablet MUST have 3G FIRST and then have an OPTION for Wifi feature. It's time for the kids who make the design decisions to GROW UP and consider others in the use of these products. But alas, it was idiot parents who raised these self-centered kids.
I think the biggest problem that the current Android manufactures are running into is how to move outside of the mobile phone operators. Few people want another monthly bill but that seems to be what the Android tablet makers are pushing. They have to sell it directly to consumers and they have to get it under $450. Until they do that, Apple will continue to eat their lunches.

I think the numbers are clear enough to communicate to manufacturers what the people wants.
