499!! nice

LULZ! What's nice about it? :awe:

 

[TangoJuliet]

not terrible for $499

edit: the 3g models will cost more

 

[Agentbolt]

Whoa wait, an extra 130 bucks for the 3G models? Bullllllshit

 

[Spoooon]

499 sounds good right after saying 999. But still...

Actual resolution yet? Or does this have a few more pixels than my droid?

 

[silverpig]

Oh wait, that's not so great.

wifi-only
$499 $599 $699

$629 $729 $829

16GB 32GB 64GB

 

[jalaram]

This. Threatening to go to Verizon brought the data rates down.

[Edit] n/m $30 is their normal.

 

[DivideBYZero]

$630 for the cheapest version? Does it have a Buggatti logo on the front, too?

 

[amdhunter]

Oh wait, that's not so great.

16GB 32GB 64GB

Meh, I might buy it. I guess I can always sell it for $600 even if it sucks. lol

 

[InverseOfNeo]

yay for keyboard dock!

 

[speg]

LULZ! What's nice about it? :awe:

That it's not $999

 

[Agentbolt]

keyboard dock looks awesome. Also will probably cost half as much as the Ipad itself

 

[ViviTheMage]

Ya'll should be happy they offer wifi only options...IF I was to get this low res thing, i'd get a wifi only.

 

[herkulease]

I guess there's no verizon stuff.

 

[Suspicious-Teach8788]

I think they should drop the iPod Touch pricing soon. 64gb for $399 is a bit excessive.

Oh, and once again Apple and no removable storage.... way to make bank off a 64gb version!

 

[silverpig]

keyboard dock looks awesome. Also will probably cost half as much as the Ipad itself

Sure, except that it's not as good as a laptop IMO.

 

[TangoJuliet]

the dock looks great!

 

[DivideBYZero]

That it's not $999

Correct, it's only $830... :sneaky:

 

[ChaoZ]

Make the base model $299 then it's a deal.

 

[jalaram]

A guy on the audio said of the iPad "It fits me".

 

[WelshBloke]

the dock looks great!

 

[mchammer187]

at 499 it is not bad

should probably be able to get a subsidized 3g version for less $499 ($629 - $150/200 = 429/479)if you want to sign a 2 yr contract

at the very least this should destroy the kindle dx (priced at 479)

but I have no idea how well the kindle dx sells vs the kindle 2
