The Loop Tablet Comparison: iPad 2, Xoom, TouchPad, PlayBook
Comparing Prices
What about pricing? The comparison chart doesn’t show price data, but here’s what we know:
•Loop: $450 to $599 depending on display size and connectivity platform
•iPad 2: $499 to $829 depending on storage and 3G connectivity
•Xoom: $799
•TouchPad: $699? HP has been silent on pricing, but rumors say it starts high
•PlayBook: $499? BlackBerry is in the same situation as HP, only rumors tell us the cost
The fact that nobody yet knows what HP or BlackBerrys offerings are going to cost doesn’t really help to compare them against the iPad or Xoom, and witholding pricing data has led to speculation that their tablets will be on the expensive side. Some are saying Apple has already won the price war, but we don’t have enough information to know that yet.
