This seems very promising by being based on already existing experiences (support for iPhone and iPad Apps). Considering all the other features the price of 349

This seems very promising by being based on already existing experiences (support for iPhone and iPad Apps). Considering all the other features the price of 3499$ doesn't seem to crazy, especially because it can replace all of your monitors, TV and more while also enabling entirely new experiences for basically the same price.

Yeah if they get the form factor down over time this will replace a lot of stuff people own. Like why would I carry a phone…

You're forgetting that any number of people can watch one TV. My coworker can also walk in and look at my monitors. For this to replace either, everyone is going to need one. For a family of 4, that will be $14,000 - far more than almost anyone is spending on displays for their home. For work, the situation gets even worse.

  >My coworker can also walk in and look at my monitors. I don't know, to me that seems like a selling point to not have people peer over your shoulder. Also if I'm out in public maybe privacy for working is helpful, too. For a family TV experience it's not great, but anything business a oriented 99% of the time privacy is worth more than sharing.

    Yeah I suppose it depends on what you do. I work in an environment where I'm constantly collaborating and sharing. People need to see my screens.

  That was my first thought when I saw the price. "Holy crap, that's a $14,000 Christmas morning." Also, this explains why companies are doing so many layoffs. They need the money to buy Apple headsets for all their remaining employees.
