The price is $199 at MSRP, in fact it's not shipping yet but soon. And there are alternative ways to get GPS such as using WiFi, Mifi and Bluetooth tethering.

Now they are selling it for 249$, I'd rather weight for samsung galaxy player, which has GPS in it charbax why is it that Archos lied about Archos 43 pricing, isnt it supposed to be 199$ for 16GB?

Android tablets will beat the ipad by big margin. Just like Android smart phones are already beating the iphone by a big margin. I've been using 7" Archos tablets for about 4 years and my opinion is that they are awesome. The limit for jacket pocketable meaning they can be taken with you everywhere if you are a true geek.

There is a comparable marketing tactic, and it seems likely that Steve Jobs is using it. You'd be well served by ignoring a man who is an obvious CEO Troll. Instead, you've just made the case for 7 inch slates, and when Apple releases one, it will be in agreement with you. I agree that a 7 inch device is a good size. A 7 inch slate is a very useful form factor. For my taste, Android is a very poor operating system (iOS is worse). Moreover, an Android slate is not a tablet; it's a touchscreen slate. It's not useful to confuse a form factor (slate) with a usage scenario (tablet). If we ever do get to the point where we have true 7 inch tablets in a slate form factor, it will be an awesome day for consumer technology. In the meantime, I think you should enjoy your 7 inch Android slate. It's a nice device. That said, ignore Steve. Let him toil away in obscurity.
