for those who consider it overpriced, what are you expecting apple to price it at? $100? $19.95? do you think other companies are going to price their devices more "fairly"? newsflash all corporations are out to make a buck.

i told you what I thought it should be ... $399. I bought the thing at $550, so I can freakin say its overpriced if I want to. Who said $AAPL$ couldnt sell it for whatever they want? That freemarket economy. Just because I paid the extortion money doesnt mean its not overpriced.
Its a nice piece of hardware, and I love the instant-on and the battery life, but that doesnt mean I have to be an apple fanboy and I certainly can voice my disapproval over their closed ecosystem, and their intentional leaving off of features to entice an upgrade every year
