We're unconvinced by the idea that 7in tablets would be good for schools. People mostly say this because they're cheaper
@macusermagazine Absolute fallacy that smaller device = cheaper. iPhone 4S is more expensive to buy without contract than iPad.

@bazzacollins True, but so far all small tablets have been cheaper/lower specced than big, Apple 7in would surely follow suit? -
@macusermagazine Not all. Galaxy Tab 7.7 was same as the iPad. Lower quality ones have been cheaper. -
@bazzacollins Remarkable actually that nobody has really beaten iPad on price yet -
@macusermagazine@bazzacollins No it's not. Apple makes money from apps so can sell at much lower profit margin. -
@Stuart_Anderton@macusermagazine@bazzacollins Is it not at least as likely that scale and huge purchasing power means raw build is cheap? -
@chrisphin@macusermagazine Then repeat exercise adding in 30% share of all apps music and movies purchased. It's not an even fight -
@Stuart_Anderton@macusermagazine If my maths is right (and my god, it rarely is), Apple has made $6 in App Store revenue per device. -
@chrisphin@stuart_anderton I make it $7 and it's more than I'd have guessed, but it's not huge, is it? - 4 more replies
