to go OT a bit, how is the e-reader market? seems like such a dumb concept to me for how much the hardware costs. then again i think ugg boots are stupid and they make oodles of money. so i just thought i would ask you guys!
and do you think that the price point is low enough to really hit the netbook market? to me, being down in the 300-400 range for netbooks is one of the main reasons they are used. obviously size and battery life are better compared to normal laptops, but i think their lower price point is a huge thing. while 500 seems pretty darn good for apple, is it low enough to capture more of the market than just the apple folks that buy anything apple?
