Yeah, there will probably a split market. The low end will be for Android and at the higher and high end Windows8 and the iPad will compete. I doubt that Win8 tablets (especially the x86 versions) will be able to get a lot below $500.

Wow, 32?! This is exciting! I have 32 new options to choose a slate/tablet! Remember in Return of the Jedi where the Death Star is under construction and gets destroyed again by the Rebels? Yep, this is what Windows 8 will do to apple again.
