This is really annoying. I honestly feel that VM had a potential game changer on their hands here.

I remember before the iPad was announced people were saying it would be priced somewhere between £800 & £1000. When did announce the price of £429 everybody was pleasantly surprised. Fast forward 8 months and they'd sold 15 million units!!

Would they have sold even half that if it was released with a price with-in peoples expectations (£800+)? I very much doubt it.

The moral of this story is if you want your product to fly off the shelf & people to talk about it, then for the love of god make sure that it's for the right reasons ala Apple.
