> The cost is way too much for such a device but apple appears to be the one company that can overcharge for products. I just hope if this takes off someone else copies it and makes it better and more cost effective.

You still haven't figured out that you're in a CAPITALIST economy, and that Apple is a CAPITALIST company.

The cost of a product is determined by TWO things -- what the manufacturer charges, and what people are willing to pay for it. When they converge, that's the proper price for the product. Helloooo????

As long as Apple is selling the product to people who are willing to pay for it, it is not "over-priced".

You sound like a SOCIALIST -- "Down with the high-priced high-quality products of Apple! Everything should be cheap, lower quality, and less expensive so that ALL the people can buy it!!"

Apple doesn't sell to the low end of the market. Get it? They're CAPITALISTS and they address their markets for the benefit of their stockholders, who you might notice are doing quite well.

Damn, some people around here can be mighty slow on the uptake.

Sure it’s overpriced. Just because SOME people are willing to pay doesn’t mean I don’t find it overpriced.

And I believe a MAJORITY will agree with me.

Wow... you really are defensive for apple aren't you? Since when is wanting cheaper goods socialist? If anything socialist want to set one price for goods that keep people employed. Just look at communist nations and even the US during WW2 when we tried to set the prices of goods (like cars) and we wanted to set them substantially high enough. This isn't milk and water here...this is a luxury item and in socialist economies prices of luxury items are set extremely high...so if anything you are the socialist.

But enough name calling...I see you resorted to that pretty quickly. Well they say if you can't attack the message attack the messenger. You and the liberals in America have a lot in commmon.
