The price of the cube is a mistake.

$200 more for fewer slots and bays for harddrives? I can't see any businesses or schools willing to pay more for less. I'm not sure what market segment they were intending to target, but I'm sure it will make a nice executive's fashion accessory. It will probably do as well as the 20th anniversary Mac.

If Apple was smarter, they would have priced it $200-$300 less than the entry level G4 and positioned it as headless iMac/G4. The cube is beautiful, but I can't imagine a lot of people shelling out the money.

Also, Apple should have raised the entry level G4's mhz by 50. I know that's not much, and Motorola has put Apple in a pickle, but it's the thought that counts. The way things are going with Motorola, it looks like it will be 6-12 months before Apple comes out with a G4 that I'm willing to buy.
