Thats not saying that they are not decent devices for what people use tablets for, but in order to have a real use beyond simple email, web and media consumption they need to be powerful enough to handle real use. If you can get the i5 for the price of an iPad, then that's what I am thinking of.
but then you're not even targeting the iPad audience, you're after the more advanced users and you'll never see an i5 computer of any kind for that price. right now you can get a variety of Windows 8 tablets that can do everything the iPad can and a whole lot more, for the same price. the target audience for these already have a desktop PC or full size laptop, they don't need that same power in a tablet (which would kill the most important factor in portability, battery life)
