Contract or no contract, I can't see this thing selling for much more than $100 or so bucks without any subsidization. Asking someone to shell out $80 to get their Ipod on a mobile data network isn't a stretch...

BUT $30 A MONTH? For 1GB?

The hardware is pretty neat. Heck, if I could get ahold of one of these and make it work for Verzion and add voice, I could make a killing. But $30/mo for...

Yes, Skype app would work. I have a Skype account and use it on AT&T's hsdpa to make calls to keep minutes down, and as well as at home on my computer. Works good.
