$300 now leads one to believe that it will be sub $300 in short order.

Uhhhhh. NO!
I have been saying for several years that the price delta will be at
least $300 for years to come. I was arguing against the notion that
that delta would soon drop into the noise level. Others were saying
that the added cost delta would soon be $50...that's barely enough to
cover the cost of all the royalty payments.
Am I surprised that the delta has now shrunk to only $300 on the
cheapest models?
Not really. This is the right territory for a basic implementation
today. It is important to note that the delta is still much larger on
higher end sets.

Craig
