A mobile device strikes me as different here - it's more consumer centric where VR right now at least is more hobbist/professional centric. I think they could away w/ the higher price.

I'll add when the iPhone came out it was way way more than it's competition. It was effectively the first $100/month w/ 2 year contract phone bill as compared to other devices where $35/month was common.

Is there any indication that this will be a mobile device?

I haven’t seen any.

It will be standalone. Probably more powerful than Snapdragon XR2 powered devices like Quest 2.
