Obvious that only, Huang made ​​claims about what we all already know: the running Android tablets are expensive. According to the executive, the most basic model of these devices should come without 3G, which already provides a certain economy.

There are problems of sales expertise in dealing with retail, consumer marketing, besides the price.
