They aren't really competing in the same market. Where are the less expensive tablets? My wild-assed guess is that in the coming year we'll get some android tablets on the market. The cheap one will cost less than an iPad, but will be mostly crap. The good ones will have a hard time competing with the iPad on price. The Samsung Galaxy Tab will cost the same as an iPad in the UK: <http://www.reghardware.com/2010/10/22/tesco_samsung_galaxy_tab/> I don't own an iPad, and have no plans to buy one, but I don't accept that they are fundamentally overpriced. I also agree that attempting to install Fedora on an iPad is not a good idea. A more interesting project is to install Fedora or some other real Linux distro on a android device. My limited web searching didn't reveal any easy answers.
