    $498

    optional keyboard cover for an extra $101.

    Ah, I understand. It’s an attempt to replicate Steve “unwashed” Jobs’ strategy, where buying overpriced stuff makes you BETTER, DIFFERENT and UNIQUE. Am I right?

      $500 with a keyboard would be acceptable for a device like that. But the retail price is given as $700 plus $100 for the keyboard. That’s pretty steep.
