I've read other statements on various web sites that make that same point.
If what is said about the process and cost of making the Pixel Qi screen is correct, there should be no reason for a Pixel Qi machine to cost twice as much as a similarly equiped LCD version. Either the higher price version is going to have extra "stuff" or it will be a rip-off.

There are no firm prices yet. No low ones, no high ones. No official distinction in price between standard LCD and Pixel Qi except device thickness. People are making assumptions based on assumptions based on assumptions with pricing estimates.
Will Pixel Qi be more expensive? Probably. How much more? Nobody bloody knows right now.
