the presentation was amazing, but $3500 is a ridiculous price.

I found someone that posted this: "In 1985, I bought a Mac 512K and Apple dot matrix printer for $2500. $3500 for Vision Pro seems like a bargain." $2500 then is $7442 now. If it lives up to its hype, it will find its niche and its market.

I saw another post that pointed out "This technology has already been around for 10 years." But you know, so had MP3 players and mobile phones by the time Apple had come to the market with their products and they did end up dominating those markets.

then again, i had a tiny, protable minidisc player in 1998, and that never took off, despite being around for years and far superior to CDs-- they even played mp3s in a similar way to iPods. cheaper. years earlier. it ran off a single AA battery that lasted weeks. weeks. but they were a niche product...

then again, when was thee last time an apple product failed to launch?
