Basically you want to charge more money by just branding a cheap chinese/Japanese tablet.
Your prices are way to high. People will not buy them in that prices unless there's something new in hardware.
Topic: Branded Bitcoin Tablet Devices - page 2. (Read 1744 times)
Today I would like to share an idea that I have been contemplating over the last month or so, I would like to gauge how interested and receptive the community is to a Bitcoin tablet device. The whole idea is centered more towards the apps which would either be created specifically for the device or in partnership with existing services who would like to be part of the hardware range.
Before I progress any further I feel it is necessary to find out how much demand there might be for these devices. I would also like to get an idea of what kind of spec and the price range you would be expecting. There is plenty of scope for different specs and the device could either function as an everyday tablet device or a even hardcore stripped down version catering specifically to Bitcoin users, merchants and miners.
The prices below only function as rough estimates, also these devices would also be sold in Bitcoin of-course. I would appreciate your feedback, comments and thoughts on the project. At the moment I am also interested in getting some people together to work on some of the app ideas, and possibly the ROM of the device. I could develop my own web apps to add to the device but perhaps some native apps will provide improved user experience.

Future possibilities:
Naturally I would rather build the best spec tablet for Bitcoin as possible, my initial idea which inspired me to develop this project was the idea of using tablets as instant payment devices. So users could swipe their tablet device and pay for items at checkout in supported stores. This idea is possible but would require additional support in both funding and expertise.
The prices above simply act as a rough indicator of the lowest to highest price range of each unit. Once more concrete hardware specs of formulated an accurate price will be provided.
