The price is lso fixed now it appears...unfortunately it is fixed VERY high, 549 Euro without VAT and Shipping. For Germany that would make a price just below 650 Euro.
The high price is justified by iLiad being beleeding edge technology.
Also R&D costs so they have to get some money so they can continue research and developing new improved products.
The price is quite high, as stated on their website the device is for businessmen primarily.
I just hope that the friendly neighbourhood hacker will develop new apps to offset the cost of the device a bit.
