I'll go with $999.

They should also announce if it multitasks or not…

If it does i'm betting the next gen iphone will.  64gb is a limiting factor as well.
A backlit eReader is an epic fail. 

I never appreciated this until I started using a Kindle.  My eyes can feel a world of difference…
I say 600 but that's wishful thinking.  I mean it's just a jumbo touch.  ;D

At least it supports ePub which will force Amazon to support that format as well…

It's everything I asked for in my Crunchpad….I just wish they'd announce the price!


I take it back.  They really put too much into this.  This isn't a huge Touch, this is a computer without a keyboard.  I'm gonna raise my guess to $1199 to cover all the software costs.
Wow.  $499.
goddamn it, now i want one

what? if julian agrees with something seth says, i'll start believing in a forumpocalypse
I'm shocked at the $499 entry point.  A bit too much step up in price for the other models, but still, i'm shocked.
I like Kurt anderson's tweet

It's sunny and 51 in SF. And hundreds of people are sitting in an auditorium applauding spread-sheet functionality. You *are* a gadget.

Well, it's not sunny, but yes that is funny.

OK, I guess if I'm being realistic, I'm never going to buy another device that ties me to iTunes.  But for a split second I did think about it.

I do like that it will drive the market down and an Android or Win device will have to be a couple hundred dollars less to compete with Apple's branding and marketing.  And any non-Apple device will have so much more flexibility that I will have one soon (like a card reader or USB port for crying out loud!).  Too bad I just got a Kindle and bought my Nettop (Zotac MAGHD for those that care) so I'm sure Smackette won't let me buy anything before my birthday.
wait, does this have a flash player on it
Not a good sign for Apple….

Says Smackette, who's usually a good judge of the feelings of the general public:

"Looks ri-tard to me. Just an awkwardly large ipod!"

haha.  Come on.  Be realistic…

The answer is no.
