I mean, the crowd gasped at the Keynote when the iPad was introduced at $500. Especially since it was rumored to be released at $900, and then Apple sais it would cost less than $1000 (which are keywords for $999). But from a fairly priced device to extremely well priced data, Apple knows they're doing. Albeit, they are using dreaded AT&T.

Even 30$ is very cheap, where I live i have to pay around 59$ to get a phone plan (This would be the cheapest one), the most expensive one I've seen in here would be a 200$ phone plan. 14.9$ a month?????

Apple trimmed down the OS, created a new interface, and included new graphical toolkits and APIs.

You say that Apple's approach was much better, yet didn't they take the exact same approach as Microsoft; change the interface but keep the OS? Also, regarding #10, Steve Job's <em>did</em> present the iPad as a Netbook Replacement. The main thing I’m confused about is #3.
