$500 is plenty cheap. Most of us have iPhones or other mobile phones that are around that price. Go take a look in the mobile phone thread and check out all the $1000 phones. Head over to the photography forums where $500 will buy you a rather standard camera lens. Maybe to the food forums where you'll see meals from Lumiere or Bishops? Go take a look at the fashion forums where guys spend $500 on jeans. OH RIGHT, we're on a CAR FORUM where people spend thousands modifying their cars. I thought my wheels were expensive when I paid $2000 for them but apparently that's on the thrifty side.

You're on the wrong forum if you think people here think spending $500 on a toy is a lot of money. Go check out VAC and have that heart attack when you see all the folks that drop ten grand on a turbo or something (I'm not much of a car guy myself...).

A regular netbook is slightly cheaper but to be honest, I can't stand using those things. Slow and god, the keyboards are tiny. The same sort of user interface problems may arise on the iPad but hey, NONE OF US HAVE USED IT YET.
