Come on guys, it's macro economics 101, there is only one thing that determines price (actually 2), supply and demand. While a price can be set (initially) anywhere, the market will eventually establish the price. If the unit sells like crazy, then the price will remain the same (or possibly go higher). If the i600 sits on shelves, the price will go lower. Early adopters rarely pay market price. __________________
