[Marketing] Competitive Landscape: Marvell Moby $99 tablet "Designed for the World's Students"

[Sean DALY]

My understanding is that image is a prototype, not the final
product... we'll wait & see :-)

Marvell could have multiplied their press impact with photos and
didn't; my guess is that they had the hard deadline of the publisher's
conference but couldn't organize a mockup or finalized prototype in
time
