"Steve Jobs referred to netbooks as nothing but \"cheap laptops\" during today's introduction of the Apple iPad.  And he just backed that up by declaring that the iPad will start at $499 when it debuts in April.  That's an absolute shocker, considering recent rumors that had the device would be priced at upwards of $1,000.  \nThere will be three different models: 16GB, 32GB and 64GB, priced at $499, $599 and $699, respectively.  Add on another $130 if you want a device with both Wi-Fi and 3G:\n\n\n\n\nAs for service, the device comes Wi-Fi-ready, but there are also two 3G plans being offered through AT&amp;T: One includes up to 250MB of data per month for $14.99, and the other is an unlimited plan for $29.99.  Both include free usage of AT&amp;T Wi-Fi hotspots.  There's no contract to sign \u2014 you can cancel any time you want.  \nAre you going to buy the iPad at that price?  Let us know in the comments."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
