Clearly, this I was not disputing. I [i]was addressing the assertion that the next tablet would cost more than the N97 ($700 USD), which I don't believe to be remotely true based both on past comments by Nokia employees and based on the featureset of each device. You seem to be arguing that it'll be more expensive than $500 USD, and seem to think I'm arguing that it wont be—which I'm not.

My own estimate puts it into the $450-$600 USD range, much less than $700 USD, but likely more than $500 USD.

Well, what I think we've actually come down to is that we're mostly in agreement, just having one argument over two vastly different price points.
