Amen!
Agreed wholeheartedly with your position!

Now let's only hope that the rather high prices (for a "volkswagen" kind of computer) are only maintained to compensate for the R&D / manufacture costs of the first batches and (as usually happens) prices are lowered (then complying with the original premise) as soon as production runs increase. Only greed (or low sales) could stop prices from getting lower and making the device to reach it's original audience.
