The pricing of this thing plus the disastrous timing with the release of the iPad basically mean that this device isn't just going to sell poorly, it's hardly going to sell at all. Anyone in the "business professional" category dropping that kind of cash for a business-oriented device is just going to buy a laptop. The folks at PL are just nuts. Of course, voting with your wallet is definitely a way to get the price to come down. I predict that within a few months after the iPad really gets off the ground, PL re-purposes and re-prices this thing in the $400 to $500 range. The price they're charging now is just insane.
