Yes, good thread. I think the point that really stood out was the comment that actually when you look at the hardware the $800 price was perhaps a little high, but not out the ball park, but in the mind of the consumer it was a complete own goal to offer no $500 entry level version to compete with the cheapest iPad.

(If I can mix sporting metaphors.)
