Hopefully competition will drive the prices down.

Other people at Apple have talked down Netbooks, saying that they have terrible keyboards and don't work very well. I take this to mean that the Apple tablet won't have a keyboard, and will have some unique and different feature allowing Apple to claim that it works better.
Personally I think Apple's product will be more Kindle than N900.

Assuming, that is, that Steve Jobs previous pronouncements still hold relevance.

Note that it avoids stating whether they can make a >$500 machine that isn't crap either.

Unless Maemo 5 came with a very clean interface with Ovi services, an Apple tablet would not be a good thing for Nokia at all. iTunes is what makes these things rock for Apple; the same thoughts have to be at play for a larger consumer play with the IT.

Guys, the tablet described on this page is said to be slightly smaller than a Kindle, so it is more netbookish.
