> They need to cut the price in half

My guess, Apple knows this won't become mainstream/usage for 5+ years.

And as such, they need to bring technology from the future 5-years from now, to today ... and as such, that's why it's so expensive.

They aren't expecting people to pay $3,500 for this device when the killer app exists. But it needs to cost that in order for developers to "develop to where the puck is going" in 5-years time.
