Hmmm... That would make it more expensive that the Touch and only about $100 less than the cheapest Dell laptop. Not a great price point.

I think it is time for Nokia to eat a lot of margin to get market share.

Don.

FWIW. I recall a story about Raytheon and microwave ovens. Raytheon introduced the 'Radarange' for $2000-$3000. It did not sell well at all. Eventually they solicited some advice from a non-technical consultant. He simply asked ' how big is this thing?' and after he was told that it was about the size of a large breadbox he said that it had to be priced at $500 regardless of what it actually did.

When I look at a hand held device I see about $200 - or less ...
