yes, but this is how much it would cost me:
200€ for the tablet
around 30€ for shipping from EU to a neighboring croatia
15€ for some imaginery customs cost
than 23% tax on all that that comes to 300€ or 400$ so not such a nice price tag
and also there is a 35$ fee for certification from HAKOM(our agency for everything with any radio freq) so i can import it for personal use, and that is only if this tablet has EC declaration of conformity
i can buy an acer iconia tab a500 for that price here...

as for the guy above im rigt to have my opinion that is supported by facts, and i have a right to express it here and who doesnt want to read it doesn't have to, just because this is FOSS doesnt mean it should be overpriced or that we should settle for anything

i am the voice of reason here, deal with it
