$629 16gb, 3g, wifi....F that!

 

[str1f3]

$499? I'll wait for Oprah to give me one.

 

[Ron21]

heck at $499 there is no way this thing can fail. I'm impressed.

 

[miles01110]

Looks like Apple copied Microsoft on that price/version scheme. Jesus.

 

[azsprty]

wow now they are cool to own huh..thought this was "epic Fail" ha ha

 

[bushido]

lol @ 129 $ for a 3G chip

 

[Krafty]

Jason Chen: Then there’s 32GB for $599 and 64GB for $699. These are for the Wi-Fi only version.

And the 3G models cost an extra $130, so $629, $729 and $829 for the 3G-capable models.

 

[BlasphemyCool]

Unlike apple to sell something at a low price. Maybe this is why the device is lackluster?

 

[Ubuntu]

$499... ouch. Seems like the dealbreaker for me.

 

[trip1ex]

Price was hit out of park.

I'm in for one.

 

[synth3tik]

It honestly looks like something Microsoft designed.

 

[bytethese]

$699 for 64GB? SOLD! Hopefully. 🙂

 

[zacman]

You can get a 3G usb dongle for every notebook for 50 bucks but 3G addon on the iPad cost 130 USD?!

 

[KristenM]

Max price of $829 is not bad at all. I have no need for 3G so $699 for a 64GB one...seriously, where do I buy it?

 

[LagunaSol]

Holy frak, $499? I'm in. Only $250 more than a Kindle for all the additional functionality - this thing will be a big seller.

 

[tollickd]

wow 60 days and only that price wow

 

[hwhalers]

Keyboard dock. $630 unlocked 3G. Sold!

 

[gnasher729]

Just saw: Starting at $499. Netbook makers, be very afraid.

 

[JohnDoe98]

Tethering = sold.

 

[decadentdave]

ipad=$499 LOSE

iphone=$99 WIN

 

[BenEndeem]

Keyboard dock, wow!

Might have misheard...

 

[Trexznl]

Keyboard!! Giev! 🙂

 

[pyroza]

ahaha, and all the fanboys eat it up... go ahead and buy it, I'll buy a much more powerful netbook for cheaper

 

[mdriftmeyer]

Haha, so funny seeing this board change reaction and tone when they show the price

These 3G morons thinking Apple is subsidizing solely via a Telco are just dense.

Apple is in charge of this product, 100%, NOT AT&T or any other Telco.

 

[billchase2]

The pricing is excellent...
