The big message from a Retrovo survey released today of 1000 consumers carried out last month indicates competitors to the iPad will have to compete with a large price difference.
With rumors about an Amazon tablet circulating, 55% of survey respondents said They'd look at an Amazon tablet first. 38% cited Dell and Samsung, and 31% cited HP and Motorola. The key finding is that when asked to decide on a tablet other than a $499 base iPad, 79% of the consumers said they would go with Android only if it was less than $250. The same survey group members who said they planned to buy a tablet in the next year favored an iPad. 50% would choose one, while 21% favored an Android flavored device.
It seems Apple remains dominant, and for the rest of potential buyers
