$35 e-readers and sub $200 laptops ... well, not anytime soon in my market (Canada).
Netbooks -- great for extreme portability -- are typically closer to $400; a reasonably decent laptop is much closer to $1000, with some ok options around $800.
E-readers are already sub $150 -- a Kobo at $128 for full DRM ePub access and a Kindle 3 wifi at $139 with full DRM azw access.
Prices will drop, but functionality will rise ... so $35/$200 e-reader/laptop is still a long way off the reach of the average consumer.
