Starts at $499. Suck that, netbooks.
Why does 3G need to cost $130 extra though? Is the component that expensive, or just a way to capture more value from customers who can afford it?
Maybe they pay back AT&T for the 3G deal?

#42Horrible name, and no flash..again? What a serious waste of money
I agree that the name is lame. Regarding Apple and Flash, Gruber has a pretty good overview: http://daringfireball.net/2010/01/apple_adobe_flash

#43Can't wait to see what other devices like this will be out there in a matter of months based on Nvidia Tegra - and at what price. Could this be the downfall of netbook growth?

#44I see this going the way of the Macbook Air.
Thinner & lighter than any other netbook?

#45Charging $100 extra per 32GB must be a big money maker for Apple. I just bought a 32GB USB stick off newegg for $70 and considering Apples buying power, it probably costs them a lot less.

#46No keyboard. Less space than a netbook. Lame.

Keyboard dock available. Obviously, not part of the $499 package, but still, it's out there.

My netbook was $279 with a 6 cell battery and a 160GB harddrive. That's throw away money! But at $499 for 16GB that's not really in the same market.
