Those are pretty damn good prices IMO--at least for the WiFi only devices.

$130 seems like a high premium for 3G when you'd have to pay for a data plan on top of it (though I suppose there will be deals with a contract to knock some off of that).
Hmmm... If I were really desirous of a 3G device, the 16GB version isn't all that badly priced. However, as I don't plan to use it as a 3G device, I'd rather sink the $699 for the 64GB WiFi version. Would be like having a Kindle and a 10" iPod Touch all wrapped into one device. And as I'm currently using a 1st-gen iPod Touch (8GB), I think even the $499 16GB WiFi model would probably suit my needs. I'm a-savin' my nickels!
