<<The second question I can take a stab at, but it is just speculation. Is $500 a low enough price point to significantly penetrate the so-called 50% of American households that do not have a PC? I fear that some percentage of this 50% may not own a computer because they don't yet see the need.>> That may be true for the United States. However, the rest of the world is very under PC'd relative to the United States, and one would expect the dramatically lower prices should result in a dramatically broader market. Nowhere else in the world, is PC penetration, even close to that achieved in the United States. But at some price that situation will change.
