IGN is sure throwing around their resources to uncover anything and everything about Project Café, and it appears they are getting in on some juicy details (assuming they are correct, of course). For starters, it appears people with knowledge of the console have estimated the pricing to be between 350 and 400$ according to the latest reports on manufacturing costs.

The earliest the units will begin shipping is October this year from a Taiwanese manufacturer, Foxconn. This means the earliest the console could arrive is this holiday season, though it's likely to be more of a early 2012 release assuming they stay the course. The reasoning to delay to 2012 is so allow Nintendo to try to build up stock of the console now so as not to run into shortage problems like they had with the Wii. Tons more inside.
