I disagree. For the technology, it's just expensive. The cost of the memory upgrades are way out of line with the technology, and the cost of adding the OPTION to use 3G, which would then still cost money to use, is almost the price of a Kindle or Nook with free 3G included.
That's not to say that the price is usury or anything. In addition to build quality and craftsmanship (I hope) you're paying for style, form, and, as I said just above, the value-add of Apple Stores and the like.
