Absolutely, but a lot of people still aren't going to pay that high a price...many of you did, I realize that, but I mean in general. If you look at the Edge in parts, you have the costs of each device that 'composites' into the Edge.

Netbook...roughly $250 new

E-reader...about $150 or so

That leaves us with $450 after taxes and/or shipping, give or take. I understand productivity costs and marketing/research, but consumers are naturally attuned to want the best bang for their buck. I simply meant that I believe the Edge would continue to soar not only through development and tweaking, but through price adjustment as well. It would certainly help if they could drop the price somewhat on the other color options and give people a chance to buy. $40 more for a different color just doesn't seem sensible since its not really a 'better feature' that would increase usability or place it above the bar.

Not trying to offend any early adopters; without you guys, we wouldn't have technology just my two cents.
