$490...

IF Apple does release a Tablet next Tuesday then I can pretty much guess that...

1. It won't be under $1,000.

2. It will have an OLED or LCD screen so the battery life will be (in real world use) about 4-5 hours... even if they say 8 in their presentation.

If you want a device to play movies on, play games on, surf the web on, a tablet MID is more your style.

If you want a device to read large format PDF ebooks and work type documents and also be able to do some productivity stuff on the side... I think the Edge is a contender... over and above just a Netbook.
