I don’t understand why a $800 computer needs a phone plan to be sold.

I usually argue with you Swordmaker.

I think I’d like a SIM card, prepaid, where it’s $5 a day for unlimited data, only on those days you use the wireless data network. Similar to how Verizon does prepay with minutes.

that’s $1.99 a day for unlimited calling, only on days you use it.

that’s what they have for mobile broadband plans. $15 a day, 100mb cap? Pass. $80 a month? That’s $3 a day, if you use it every day. 20 days, $100, unlimited per day, prepay. I’d go for that. I don’t have mobile broadband right now, wouldn’t want to pay $960 a year ($80x12) for year round service. I would pay $100 for the times I need mobile broadband. If I do end up using the mobile broadband only 16 days in a month, Verizon comes out even, if I use it 17 days in a month, Verizon comes out ahead.

Because small and light with an excellent screen costs MONEY, truth... as I've been trying to tell you for a couple of months now. Add to that that Motorola is bleeding money and needs profits.

And, truth, This is the 32GB version. The Apple 32GB version is $70 less expensive and does not require a plan for the WIFI to be activated and has been since they were available on June of 2010. For just $30 more you can have the iPad 64GB version, also with WIFI activated.
