Not that odd at all, actually! Consider this:

iPad 2 with 3G and 16GB @ $629 v. unlocked iPhone 4S with 16GB @ $649
iPad 2 with 3G and 32GB @ $729 v. unlocked iPhone 4S with 32GB @ $749
iPad 2 with 3G and 32GB @ $829 v. unlocked iPhone 4S with 32GB @ $849

It looks like screen size has virtually no impact on pricing! And still, I think that every iPod touch model, every iPhone model, and every iPad model represents excellent value in its own right. Case in point, I've acquired at least one of each over the past year. Not to mention the MacBook Air I'm typing this on... Apple's product lineup is pure genius!

I've been waiting for a true sub-PowerBook for more than 10 years. The 11-inch MacBook Air finally delivers on all counts! It beats the hell out of both my PowerBook 2400c and my 12-inch PowerBook G4 -- no contest whatsoever.
