This works the other direction, too -- adding features without changing the initially-quoted price.
That's often the tag on infomercials: after they set you up for the cheez-o-matic for such-and-such price, they "also throw in a free" mini-cheez-o-matic.
Or you get a year of free support, or the 3 megabit connect for the 1.5 megabit price, or some other "added features" that make you feel like you're getting a deal even if you're really not.
- mortenjorck 17y agoThis is going to be a killer with the iPad. I managed to avoid pre-ordering one, but as the app library grows and the iPad's potential use cases multiply, that $499 will start to look like an increasingly better deal.
- thorax 17y agoThough the apps are at $9.99+ on iPad. With the "anchoring" of the iPhone apps at $0.99 and $2.99 (and free), Apple and other companies are having to fight a slightly different battle of re-anchoring everyone higher.
- Splines 17y agoIs the answer here then for Apple to release two versions of iWork for the iPad then? For example, have one version of iWork that only lets you read documents for $13.99, and then for $14.99 have version that lets you read + write documents?
- c1sc0 17y agoI don't expect those prices to stay up at $9.99 for long though. That's just an artifact of there being relatively few iPad-only apps right now. That'll change soon & competition will drive prices down.
