This is actually not a bad deal, at least compared to their 5-6" model. We bought one for Grandma a while ago and it was $350 for 3 years of service plus the device itself. Getting a 15 inch frame would of been nicer. (She loves it and would be lost updating a free version that required a memory card)
Now why doesn't some one come out with a cheap one for the do-it-yourself type person who doesn't need the subscription? A $150 LCD plus $100 in computer components (a memory card reader, etc.) should be more than enough to make a profit on it.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I love my little computing companion but I often find myself missing a full sized keyboard. I have been looking at several of these portable and flexible keyboards, but I can't seem to make up my mind about which I should buy. I don't want the keyboard to be overly expensive, but I want it to be good quality. Also, how difficult is it to type on these keyboards? Thanks!"
