I have a couple friends with friends at Apple. Stuff I've heard from people on the inside: - 3 product verions/3 & 4 figure price points (people working on apple.com) - March ship date - Carrier-tied (AT&T), US launch only for now I was really excited for it, but if it is a carrier-tied device then I may pass on it. Who knows though, this could all be BS - there's so much secrecy within Apple, I'm surprised more hasn't leaked yet.

An unlocked, unsubsidized version of the device would make sense. A $200 subsidy would be a much smaller fraction of this device's price than the iPhone's. I'd be very reluctant to sign up for another monthly data plan for this device, and I think wifi would be sufficient, especially if you have your smartphone set up to support tethering. I'd gladly pay more for greater data usage on a single plan that I could share across all my devices, as opposed to paying for a separate unlimited data plan for each device.
