At $299 or less I would pick up a Foleo or some similar device, but not
more.

Of what...the Foleo? Yep. At $299, it becomes a viable impulse buy, and
few are are going to try it out at $599 without some significant hands-on
time first.

Heck, at $299, it competes well with the Nokia Internet Tablet thingie,
which is really it's primary competitor IMO.

And the near future looks good for a $299 Foleo: LCD and flash RAM prices
keep falling quickly, and I would expect those to be the primary variable
cost elements in the unit. As a comparison, those kiddie "laptops" that
just play educational games often cost <$100 and the main differences
between the two are RAM and display.
