I don't believe they said that in the video and in fact Google told Danny Sullivan this...
"Google says there’s a three year subscription required. Hardware will be upgraded at the end of the three years, if people want to continue on the plans.
If hardware breaks, it’ll get replaced under warranty. But if you decide you want a shiny new Chromebook with perhaps better screens, trackpads or whatever midway through the program, there seems to be no provision for that."

- lotusleaf1987 15y ago3 years x $336 per year= $1008, granted it includes a 3G connection, that seems incredibly expensive to me for what they're offering.
- llimllib 15y agoI think a good comparison is to an iPad, where the top-of-the line model with 3g costs $829. So this isn't too much more expensive than that; the question is whether it's $180 better than an iPad 2.
- NumberFiveAlive 15y agoThat's not a valid comparison. The iPad with 3G does not include the cost of the data connection. This includes a 100MB/month connection with the cost of the subscription.
- moe 15y agoWell, 100MB is roughly 30 minutes of youtube. So if you intend to do anything other than checking your e-mail over that connection then you'd better factor in the cost for a real data plan.
- ksolanki 15y agoNote that iPad 2 cost comes with 3G but does not include COST of 3G service. iPad 2 will be way more expensive if you include this cost.
