The retail price is comprehensible: indeed, it makes perfect sense, but I suspect it's going in the wrong direction for widescale adoption.
And don't forget this is list. I expect retailers to eventually drop their price a bit (but it may go for list at launch).

I'd like to see a lower price ASAP, but given the additional features you cite (plus the maps as TA-t3 pointed out) I can see the rationale.
