Current rumor is that it'll still start at $499. I'm just a fan of high resolution displays. It's a shame laptops and desktops are still mostly stuck in the sub-100 DPI dark ages 
Apple usually sticks to the same price points. The 15" MBP entry level model was $1499 for YEARS.
I'd really like to buy into the Fire being the answer but with an 8GB HD I don't see it working when I'm on flights or in non-wifi areas.
Isn't it just a microSD card? Just get a bigger one.
