lol,
Simple economics. The fair price is what the market will bear.
And, what about fm receiver & transmitter, bluetooth, gps, accelerometers? Add those into your $500 laptop, and the price won't seem so bad.

There is always a premium to be paid for packing features and processing power into a smaller (and/or mobile) form factor. Same reason that you can buy a desktop that will destroy a laptop for performance dollar-for-dollar. If you haven't figured that out yet, well...dunno what to tell you.

And no, I don't believe that the 3.5 inch touch screen costs more than a 17 inch non-touch, or a 32GB flash costs more than a 500GB HD, or Maemo with Nokia customizations costs more than Windows 7, or the GSM/HSPA radio costs more than 802.11n. If you follow this line of reasoning you come to the conclusion that the N900 (and the iPhone and the BB and the Droid and all other smart phones) are a total rip-off price-wise.
Any counter arguments?
