You’ve got to hope this is a typo: as Faruk points out, that’s as much as a MacBook Air (or two iPads).
Amazingly, that $1200 price requires the additional purchase of a month’s data subscription just to enable WiFi.
The month’s data requirement sounds like Verizon wanting its pound of flesh for every sale.
The price, if true, is absolutely nuts. Engadget’s previous $799 sounds much more plausible.
Update: Engadget are reporting that this pricing is wrong (and likely a placeholder in Best Buy’s system). I certainly hope that’s the case, though the rumours of having to pay Verizon to activate the device (and enable WiFi) seem to persist.
