Not unreasonable...

8GB model - $599
4GB model - $499

available June. With cingular, I would guess $200 discount for a two-year contract.

Again, not unreasonable. It must use flash, as opposed to a HDD.

Right. Looks like a nano-type approach.

At one point they planned nanos with more capacity . . .

Flash chips greater than 8GB are not that cheap yet. Hell, there's a ton of Stevenote to go. Maybe we'll get them yet.

Nope: prices include 2 year contract.

Will be branded ATT

Exclusive will apparently be multi-year.

Ouch. I can see how you arrive at the price point: Pearl + Nano=~$500. But still . . . (then again, my 15GB iPod (3G) was $400 . . . )

Especially with the $50/mo data plan you'll need to take full advantage. Talk about revenue streams--each unit is ~$3000 or revenue over two years for cingular.

Terrific business model...

BTW, I bet Cingy rolls out a iPhone specific data plan that is ~$30. BIS costs $30, I see no way they go more expensive for this device.

Does all of the Beatles music during the keynote suggest that the Beatles will be on iTunes?

[Alex_de_Large]

Got lost in the hype. Nice specs, though.
