It isn't worth $200...I don't know if it is even worth $100 given all the limitations that RIM put on it, but I know it is not worth the price of a KF.

I agree, it really should be 99 bucks if they want these to start selling. Any tablet should have at least an SD card for viewing of pics and installing software. For 50 bucks more I can get a nook tablet with expandable storage or an asus transformer with more ports, bigger screen, and natively supports android.
