Edit: I mean I'll wait for the next version. Hopefully available at the end of the year? I'm in the market for a netbook, this will do fine. Tired of lugging my MacBook Pro around.

Starting price -- undoubtedly that is the smallest hard drive and no 3G model.

Thats unlike apple - are they planning to make their money on content rather than the other way round?

Yep, at that price I can forgive the daft screen ratio and huge bezel...

Yes though they get all the way up to 829... though the base model is not bad at the price

Yep. Wifi Only is $499-16GB, $599 for 32GB and $699 for 64GB. 3G models are $629, $729, and $829 respectively.

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).
