I remember the reaction of Steve Ballmer when Apple unveiled a $500 phone.

I would love to see his reaction now, with phone closing to $2000.

The pricing of smartphone is completely crazy and obscene, and I don't see what could justify this.
In comparison, Laptops pricing has more or less been the same for the past 10 years.

How can a phone now be more expensive than a full fledge laptop ??
And for $1800 your get a very good laptop, not a cheap one.
