Apple announced its tablet-like device yesterday. With pricing as follows:
WiFi 16GB = $499
WiFi 32GB = $599
WiFi 64GB = $699
WiFi + 3G 16GB = $629
WiFi + 3G 32GB = $729
WiFi + 3G 64GB = $829
AT&T Unlimited plan = $29.99/month
AT&T 250MB limit plan = $14.99/month
I personally don’t see much value in the device. There are a few cases where something like a netbook wouldn’t be a better choice, but the screen is the wrong type for an eReader and it is pretty expensive for a large iPod Touch. Still no real multitasking either. Hopefully this will help motivate competitors to enter the market. There is definitely a hole in the computing market for a device like this to fill.
